The RX7 had a split fuel line. The reason the guys couldn't put the fire out probably is because the lines were on fire from front to back of the car.

I've been over to the RENEW website and they have been effusive with their thanks for the flaggies efforts. We all really appreciate you guys.

Here is the combined times. I slipped down to 13th in the end from 10th earlier.

Reedy snuck into the 1:53's, OZ close to 1:51 flat, the love boat stormed around in 1:44, Majanal did a 1:54 before his intercooler hose blew apart, he and Chris Easton showed what the RB30DET's are capable of. Both had low peak power and crappy tyres but put in some really good times. Good to see Ando in the sub 2 minute club too.

Check my new sig :/

Here is the rest of the times.

Thanks to Abo Bob and the Renew guys for organising the day. I had a great day.

The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that some of us n00bs to EC, that have only done one track day somewhere else previously, weren't allowed to go out in the morning with an experienced driver to learn the lines and the track.

I went out freaking scared after the first few long corners. My car felt like it was all over the place, that and I had someone right up my arse (who I let pass asap). I was seriously shaken up. My car felt so unstable in the first session. It really freaked me out, especially since there just seem to be walls everywhere.

Because of this I skipped my second session.

Anyway, after playing with the suspension and tyre pressures I went back out and had a ball despite the fact I that there are two corners which are after a couple of crests, one goes right and one goes left. I was pretty much guessing which was which.. Which is really bad. But hey, I guess that's what happens when you're put out there for your first time and are expected to be up to pace with everyone else.....

Regardless, I had a ball. So much fun. Soooo much fun. Sorry I didn't open her up and get her sideways near the guys at turn two. I didn't want to burn the tires this time around, I have no more monies for new ones after that Oran day!

Abo,

It was good to see your fastest lap of the day was actually the last one when we were dualing! Good work!

Yeah, interesting. I really need to get some in car footage the next time I am tailing you around a track. It's a surreal look as you are slipping around the place pushing a bit hard then regaining control within a single second because we are both doing between 100 and 200+ km/h and often within a 1-2 car lengths of each other as it's happening.
