yup - noticed the wee'r cars did a bit better today - your big fat bertha maybe isnt the most suited to Cadwell
Kerbs - You know the large runoff at T2 (you could run VERY wide) - its now got a painted kerb - not a real kerb as such, just painted. There are other changes too but I cant r'ber them

Some decent air over the mountain by the sounds of it.
Is that your wee moment at 3:33 where the indicator and cannards got wiped out?

tracks about as wide as a road to be fair, really well suited to the mini's today i thought, and that crx was impressive too.
Fee - well played as always

You can see how light the cars were getting over the mountain, quite a few instances of air also.

We were in the mountain grandstand for a short while. Entertaining watching the cars get air.
The commentator guy, does he do every round? Because he really is a peenarse, he was trying to do Ali G impersonations FFS
pretty much all the spectators made this face

you can see on the pic below - i think she hit traffic on her fastest lap (1:40.8) at Hall Bends. She's a good 10mph slower at that one section for that lap - comapred to previous best laps (all laps can been seen listed on left window) RED is her fastest lap btw.
excuses I know - everyone had the same traffic to deal with when you think about it. Better planning / judgement etc
