Video Javelin Cadwell Park evening 1st July 2020

Thought it would be nice to have a place to share any footage of the evening.

E.g.

No video from me but it was a good evening. Even the weather was kind. It was busy out there though; not a clear lap to be had all evening.

Yes. I didn't mind so much as I was only just learning my way around but if I'd been trying to improve my lap times it would have been very frustrating.

For me the evening was part shake down of a new (to me) car but also the only Cadwell practice I will get before the qualifying session for my races there in early August. The car was great, which is the most important thing, but less traffic would have been nice. Having said that, it was good value track time as I can't justify the cost of a test day.

And that is the inherent problem with TD evening sessions.

Haven't done one in a while for that exact reason.

yeah i did a few evening sessions at donington, and vowed never to do an evening session again - loads of red flags, it was literally queue up, do 1 or 2 laps, get red flagged, come in, queue up again, repeat.

Cadwell park has a reasonable amount of queuing even on a full OPL day, must be even worse on an evening when everyone only has 2 hrs to squeeze in as much track time as possible.

Ah ha! The spy who sent my photo to Paul. I wish I had your lines, that was beautiful coming up to the jump. I couldn't seem to unpick that but you just screamed through it. Makes me want to go back.

Lol. Thanks

When you're maxing out at 83mph on the straights you need every inch of tarmac and kerb!
