No idea Mark, but it's stripped out and very quick, he drives around quite slowly weaving about keeping his tyres warm, we'll pass him and then 5 mins later you'll see a 911 coming up fast behind us so we'll move over and let it through only to find Mr Scirocco that tight up the 911's arse you didn't see him until they were both past...

my interpretation of that is this - He has mastered the ring and now only gets a buzz from embarrassing others and by the sounds of it has it down to an art.
Wonder did he own that compact lol ....

Justin is on another level, knows the place like the back of his hand...
I've now done around 200 laps and Justin would still be over a minute a lap faster than anything I can manage...

Yeah I believe 7.40 was mentioned earlier...
Best lap I've ever done was 8.36 in the Megane...we're slower in the C63 but we kind of expected that...RWD is new territory for me

Good to see trusty old FEZ is still going strong 
Is it still garaged out there?
More expensive too should something happen

We were just getting a feel for it and knocking 15 to 20 seconds off each lap until it rained unfortunately on Saturday afternoon and the rain didn't stop by the time we were leaving on Sunday...
Best we managed was a 9.12 with having to slow for a couple of accidents, so we should hopefully see better when we go back next year...
The only thing is that the place has become insanely busy, so I might go earlier in the week next time to try and get a couple of evening sessions that I hear are much quieter...

Obviously completely different cars, but is it any more fun than the Megane?

More comfortable car to get there in, but more challenging to lap the Ring due to its weight and my balls having to grow a bit bigger...
So I'd say perfect...
Another visit and we should be at least as quick if not quicker than what we were in the Megane...

Won't know until they release next years dates which usually isn't until January...
But it will probably be around May/June and if it suits another trip later in the year September/October...
