First visit to Curborough. Camped the night before which was a good social but bloody cold ! Had briefing then had to wait for the Ambulance, which never arrived >:( Tris did all he could to sort it, but they let him down. :(
Queued for the first lap. Outbraked myself into the first corner ! That`s a good start... lol First lap was a 32.7 (all times from my PBox, start/finish may not be exact)
Queued again. went better, 29.8
Queued again 30.0
Queued again 28.9
Had lunch and gave the car a quick once over, all good :)
Inbetween all the queuing I had a good chat with loads of people, from the social side of the event, I can see the appeal, but the amount of queuing on what was a `quiet` day was too much, on a busy day, it would do my head in. ::) `Sprinting` isn`t for me...
The circuit is harder than it appears, you know you only have one shot and it`s very easy to overdrive. I liked the fact that at the end of the day, I still knew there was lots of time to find. It`s a circuit where previous knowledge is a huge advantage, I suspect people who`ve done a lot of events will be on the pace straight away. A lot like the ring in that respect. I spent most of the event trying different lines. A second visit would yield quicker times I`m sure. The Aero, as expected made absolutely no difference. Quickest corner speed was about 60mph and that was just a curve. I knew it wouldn`t make a difference but left it on anyway. ;)
People were a friendly bunch and it was a very relaxed affair.
I was able to experiment with the camera mounted at different positions to usual as external Suction mounts were allowed.

Water leak, from either the radiator or a hose stopped play, but it was 4pm by then anyway, so it wasnt` too bad.
Matt went out for an hour after lunch taking photos. Had a quick play with some of the footage this morning. A stitched together `lap` A couple of bits that could be improved, but it was just a quickly thrown together clip. Took about 30 minutes in total lol
