Hi Georgey, count me in again. Must be about the 6th in a row for me.... might finally get the hang of that double-apex onto the main straight. Haven't got it right once just yet

Or another way:
Break down in the UK with the time and opportunity to get things sorted before the "ring" trip...
Or.....
Break down on the ring or on the trip there and pay a fortune to get the car back to the Uk...

This may sound like a stupid question but is this £70 per person or per car?

Cheers,
Adam.

We have invited 420 places and increase of 100 cars from last year. You don't have to be a fully paid up member of the VOC, just a member of the forum.

Double apex???

Looks single to me

Turn in late with a little trailing brake, this should get the back moving just enough to get the nose hunting the apex - allow the car to drift slightly and then nail the throttle as you pass the apex drifting to the outside.

At the end of the straight - come off the throttle for the right hander - then drop a cog for the left hander - hit the brakes and down to 2nd - turn in on the brakes and then straight back on the throttle - the backend will pull you round

The marshalls who grabbed lifts with me in September liked the way of was taking that corner
