Yesterday I did my first sprint on a proper race circuit - Castle Combe, quite an experience, so very different from the hills - the circuit was so wide that I almost did not know where to go and of course was driving at much higher speeds - 100 plus. Still getting some confidence in the DC5, and as it was wet in the morning I took it carefully - lots of rear negative and a bit more toe in have helped a lot.
I was persuaded to go by Pete Goodman, who knows it like the back of his hand and some more and is super compettive in an Elise. Pete brought his Trophy, standard apart from DS2500 - right down to PE2. He is a great chap, really friendly and obviously well respected in the motor sport fraternity. Absolutely stunning perfromacne, blitzed everyone in the class, simply by carrying so much more speed through the corners - complete master class. His time was 92 seconds, much quicker than anyone else in the class and only 4 seconds slower than a quick Impreza and a very competitive Megane Sport, both running on track tyres. Well done Pete and a huge tribute to the Trophy!!
