Blame emlyn for putting you off or something

As has been said, your car does look good on the track. Its the boxy shape of the 850s, when lowered right they just look really aggressive.

Dave your car sounds very nice in car.

**AndysR** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 18:23

Looks and sounds like you all had a great time, even with some of the cars displaying their talents in expressive dance techniques... lol

**T5frankie** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 19:53

Sadly the values go a bit weird when you render them to video (they don't match the values seen on the phone). It must be down to the Java applet needed to convert the video. If you listen - the sound & the rising of the rpm values do not match up!! Even so it gives a rough idea.

Here it is - bit long winded but your flamer is at the start - just turning into Coppice

I thought it included my best lap - but sadly not...

I have also edited up our trip out together

- with your expert commentary

and it also includes me outbraking myself into Mansfield (left hander at the bottom of the hill below the gooseneck)

This has my best recorded lap which is just under 2 minutes. I think I was a bit faster with the instructor but I guess we'll never know.

**LiamT4** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 20:45

Right then race drivers -

what discs and pads were you using, how many laps did you do and how did well did they cope?

**JUDGENINJA** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 21:08

DS2500.. Good, but dead by 10:00.. Ran Mintex pads for the rest of the day.
Brembo Max front disks... Still going strong.

**Wobbly Dave** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 21:12

Zimmerman 302 plain disks, Ferodo DS 2500 pads, dot 5.1 brake fluid, goodridge lines.

The braking I would say was on the whole pretty good. Only issue with fade occurred when I really got going with the instructor, particularly at the end of the Park Straight (I did get quicker as the day went on).

I could back off the pace and keep it going. I was able to do 6 or 7 laps without any problems.

Zimmermans held up very well. - First time ever they didn't warp!!

**JUDGENINJA** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 21:23

Yep no buckling to mine at all.. Just metal to metal on the rears at the moment to be sorted tomorrow.

**Wobbly Dave** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 21:27

I seem to have this thing where I can be out on track all day long - no problems - and then without any warning they will just go all wobbly on me. LOL

**BlackBeast** · Sunday 26th February 2012, 22:14

S60R volvo discs all round with XP8s in the front and s60r standard pads in the rear. No issues with brakes at all throughout the day. Can't imagine what XP10/12s are like.

That's not too much of a problem though as surely the S40 is probably about 137hp.. and in a lighter shell would be quicker than the 940, right?
