My Wife is the one that took me to get my finger X rayed. At least it did not show up as break on the X-ray.

I wish I'd entered this one instead of the Abingdon CAR-nival, although the CAR-nival is two sprints in one.

Had a lot of fun at Wiscombe yesterday. It's a long way for me to go for 4 minutes of track time though! I came 8th in class, but fastest 1600 Mazda. Since the class was 1400–1800cc there were a couple of VW Golfs and a couple of Elises.
Will try to sort a video upload soon.

I managed a 49.8 not bad for my first weekend there. boggissimo were you in the blue 1.6 no 37 and 37A ? my fastest run That's a good time, my best was 52.3, on my second timed run. I was going faster by the Esses on the final run but cocked up Sawbench, so ended up a bit slower. I was #30, the white one. Were you #407 then?
I'm annoyed that I had my normal road tyres on the car expecting it to be wet, everyone else was on semi-slick trackday tyres! Got loads of wheelspin out of both hairpins. Video coming soon!

Will sort out individual runs with speed and timing overlays at some point...

I've found livestream footage from Sunday: I'm at ?t=270 (first run), ?t=4288 (second run) and ?t=8608 (third run)
I'm getting lots of inside wheel spin on the hairpins, might just be unloaded but shouldn't the LSD be doing something about that?

My car is a 2.5 with the 3.6 torsen and the 6 speed box hence the slightly lower gearing. I was on road tyres , Michelin PS3 , as the Bristol Motor club mx5 challenge is list 1a so no semi slicks. Yes I was no 407. If your car is still stock power then join the challenge next year details here bristolmc.org.uk/mx5challenge/and here www.mx5challenge.co.uk/or if you have modified you engine there is this bristolmc.org.uk/2020-bristol-two-litre-cup/We are hoping to get an entry to wiscombe again, normally its manor farm.

A plate LSD would be a Kaaz the or similar ? teh only problem with those is the cost ;-)
