Nah, I shit myself everytime I came into there at like 120 or whatever and left it later each time to brake, but kept bottling it and braking early/shifting down anyway!

gonna try paddock in 4th? thats what i used everytime 
Paddock 4th, through down and up again flooring it, brake, into 3rd for druids, ease on the power hold it up to 6500rpm in 3rd and slow down for graham hill, nail it like a twat out of the corner and bang into 4th as hard and fast along cooper straight as poss, ease off the power as turning into surtees and floor it off the apex straight at the next one, hard and late onto the brakes and into 3rd through that laborious clearways and easing on the power as the car pulls itself wide on the exit then floor it just as its about to get to the edge of the track and let it pull itself back into the inside, aiming at that cone on the next corner up into 4th(tried like hell to change into 5th before that cone!!! but was 500rpm short!!!) then up into 5th flooring it like a cunt to get as much speed as possible, smile for the cameras along the pit wall! and pussy out coming up towards paddock again with some early braking action and back down into 4th, then do it all over again!
How do other people's laps compare to that?

hear goes...
come alone the main straight at 92ish! past the brake sign, lightly brake while down shifting to 3rd (about 7000rpm!!!!) turn into paddock hill, get abit sideways, correct, back on the power then understeer sightly while on the down hill holding in 3rd all the way up the hill at past 6500rpm, sometimes changed to 4th, but made no difference due to lack of power. On the brakes, down to second, hold a tight line slowly powering out towards the left while changing into 3rd, back over to the rightside, on the brakes, early turn in, kiss the curb powering out right to over 6500rpm in 3rd, ease off while taking cooper straight, on the brakes, turn in tight for clearways (while holding onto the steering wheel trying not to fall out of the seat into the lap of the passanger!) and POWER out onto the straight
deffently need some buckets tho!!!!
im sure my passengers were impressed - or so they tell me, personaly i dont think it handles that good!
willy got abit scared tho

3rd gear through paddock at about 6500rpm, blat down the hill change to 4th power up to druids, down to second, blat down the hill out of druids change to 3rd squeeze the brakes before graham, hold third down the back straight, dab the brakes into surtees, brake hard before clearway, round clearway in third balancing the throttle then nail it down the straight into fourth before braking for paddock.

slower cars are more fun as you can experiment a bit more.... and push it without nearly killing youself..
the 205 was like... sideways into corners etc...
skyline is a bit wilder, faster and heavier

I take it your mates fiesta was a stock hatch car? Corb I slowed down on my way out and gave you a spasticated thumbs up, dont think you saw though. I would have spoken to you earlier but didnt know who was who!
