I manged a 1:29 round the national circuit in my 944 turbo running P zero Cs and crappy boge suspension. I reckon I have done over 200 laps round there now in real life and 1000 on the PC

Speak to Simon Pullan about doing the Craner Curves flat in the Rollcentre Noble at the British GTs!

I'm not implying it can't be done since clearly it can and has been. It's just that you need the right machinery and an over-specified set of cojones...

Hello there
I'm new to this online forum thing, so my etiquette may not be quite right.
THe fastest way around Donington? Well, I race a Radical SR3, and on slicks the craners are flat, stab the brakes at the Old Hairpin, knock it into 5th, (most use 4th, but if you carry enough rolling speed in and go to flat as soon as you can on the exit, 5th is the way!). If you do this successfully you gain a lot of time. It worked for us, we qualified on a 1m 8.5 at the first round this year which put us on the front row. However, I am not sure whether anyone who uses an SR3 for trackday's used the slicks or just normal road tyres. On normal tyres doing this section as described above may be a tad tricky, but the craners/old hairpin/ up the hill to Mcleans is the key to a good lap

Regards
Neil

Neil, remember your speed through Craners? IIRC it was about 128 with slicks, and the best I managed was 115 with the road legal (knackered) Dunlop R's - SR3 with roadish ride height. Mind you, I'm a wuss in Redgate - scares me drifting on to gravel!
