It's a great day out.

I'm in the blue Chimaera, #70, please come and say "Hello!" if you've a mind to.

Hopefully I will have time to come and watch. Might even turn up in a TVR. I like Prescott hill except for the drop off to the left of the parabolica at the top

Semicircle. A very scary corner. Especially given that the correct line is around the outside because the apex is on the exit and all you can see is sky and trees. If you overcook it, you could slide right back down the hill into the Paddock, if it wasn't for the bunds designed to stop that!

There's showers forecast for lunch time. Great. Dry practise & wet timed.

...or into the fence if you go off early.

Forgot the name of it! but it is a parabolic shaped bend.

I have visited the gravel trap at Pardon hairpin, so much for the advice that said "because of the camber and the hill you wont need to brake go as fast as you can and just turn in!" I think he under estimated how fast the G33 would be going at that point! (that was from the then holder of the hill record)
