Paul has described the behaviour. You're taking it easy, then a slower driver suddenly appears in your mirror. You speed up to restore the natural order, not wave them by.....

We don't have the one who pirouettes right in front of you as on NITT so it should be better. I cant see you hanging back Pete though as I shoot past you in an inferior car :-)

So long as we establish and stick to gentlemanly rules (which we've been good with in the past) we should be fine even when we throw it all out and go 10/10 to chase someone :-)

Good debate!

Maybe not 7/10th's - but you guys know what I am saying and we all have to agree, otherwise it's business as usual...........

I have to leave this thread now to order my PSS10's, Eelephant R B's, ARB's, 221's, strut brace, racing pads, cooling ducts, remove the back seats and trunk carpets. These are all 'preventative maintenance' you understand...........

Our current rules work well e.g. Nigel blasted past Patsy and me on Saturday. Patsy slowed right down, but I ignored the temptation to take off, letting Patsy get back into it.

Not putting a harness bar in and changing out those heavy seats? Spare wheel, tool kit, jack, compressor. All staying in? Change the wheel?

We all know where this is going.

What's the point of going harder - you will only cook the tires somewhere between laps 4 and 6, and be forced to slow down..........

Nice one Michael!

Paul you are getting your 7/10ths confused with going 10/10ths on road tyres giving you the appearance of 7/10ths if you were on R compounds! Remember 10/10ths is where the danger lies.

I think from what Im reading here everyone will go as quickly as they are sensibly able.

Ive opted for my usual bout of tuition deciding the quickest way from zero to respectability is by having an instructor - so I have booked two sessions (1st and 4th) per track with an instructor. Afterall the rest of you now have 1000's of laps experience on the track...some of us have to play catch up quick ;-)
