Default WHAT A DAY!!!!
Hey guys, just got back from the final test of our old Formula Student car at bruntingthorpe prooving ground (yes it was as cold and wet as it always is!!!)

It involved a lot of playing around (at the end) i managed to leave a fair old bit of rubber from my front tyres there as i was pitching my focus against our FS car in the 0-75 metre test!! lol :



Then after a fair bit of testing it was time to have some fun! I obviously dont have any pics of myself driving, but my mates do so i will upload em when i get them, all i can say is it was sideways EVERYWHERE!! lol I also should have a vid of the whole day in a few days time, if anyone would be so kind as to host it i can assure u guys that its amusing!!




Anyways, donughting the FS car was great fun, but what capped the day was what was going round the main runway!! A porsche 996 GT2 tuned im sure (silver) a RUF turbo 996 (red) and a bloody quick 993 RUF CTR!! German reg, driven by two young guys i only have vids of them, as capturing a car going over 150 MPH with a digital camera delay is a little difficult!!


Well we watched them storming down the runway for a while and then we left, and who should we bump into at the slip road to the motorway!!!:









We caught up with them and started taking photo's firstly they thought we were being dicks, then realised we liked their cars, so started waving back! Then the bloke in the CTR slowed down next to us, gave the thumbs up, dropped it 2 gears and absolutely pissed away like NOTHING i have ever seen before! The sound was undescribable!!! The bloke in the red RUF turbo was less keen to have a play, but still gave the thumbs up when we left the motorway.
What a day, i have a few really poor quality vids of our FS car, my focus messing around, and the porsches at brunters and on the motorway if anyone could host, otherwise i hope you enjoyed the pics, i havent giggled quite so much like a school girl for a long time!

UPDATE: Here's me doing my best to remain fully sideways smoking the tyres for the whole length of the final corner exit and pit straight

And another!:


PLEASE DO NOT POST THESE PICTURES ON ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF JW. They are not my personal property, despite it being me driving.

True. I dont think I have even downloaded anything from there yet even though I have access to it! Only ZIP files? Ok I will make a note of that for future reference!
