Latest Sandown Track Day - Note the STIG Behind me

Here are some shots from the latest Sandown track day in the new toy. Photo's taken by Peter Kotsa. Note how the Nationals plates come in handy!



If you look you can see the Stig behind me. Guess I was just too fast for him

I was running approx 8-9 seconds a lap slower than Taka by the end of the day. My lines still need a lot of improving, can brake later than I was and also carry more corner speed as my tyre's still were not squeeling, so I know I can bridge that gap a lot more if Taka himself stops improving too

I had two instructors in my car through the day. They were Mat Coleman and Alan Simonsen. In the photo I think it is Mat.
