Heres my session vid, i didnt get to attack to the track as much as id have liked due to traffic, and was in the unfortunate position of not having a car fast enough in a straight line get past people on the straights, but where i was out braking and going into corners faster i couldnt take advantage of that either because thats where the no overtaking zones are.
In the end i got annoyed and just bent a few of the rules slightly to get past some of the traffic lol, and as such towards the end of the vid the track opens up a bit, should have been a bit less forigiving from the start tbh, i think if the session had gone on another 10 mins or so i would have been in a better position to get some fast lap times in
HERE WE GO (better if you expand the vid):

Also a clip of the drifting session where an RX7 bins it into the barrier  not sure what the deal is with these guys but a few of them were coming off, its like they dont care about there cars, and none of them are really shitters either!

Great vids, i'd love to have a go on track and knockhill is only 15mins from me but the worry of someone hitting me puts me right off.
Your puma goes very well.

decent driving for what you have but one bit of advice
dont go back on the gas until you are absolutely sure you wont have to come back off
quite a few times you hit the throttle come off then hit it again this is stopping you from being quicker in areas you could

some of the time im going on and backing off is because i can physically go quicker into the corner but then realise the others are braking more, so back off, then come back on its hard to get it spot on in those situations when your having to judge your own pace and also adjust to others.
once or twice i do it on bends where i can keep it flat, i noticed that in the vid too, this is mainly down to me not knowing the track that well, dont think it happens as much after if got a couple or three laps done, oddly i actually do it less on the ring i think its because its bigger and you get a free'er attempt at using all the track

I made an appearance for all of 2 seconds as you passed me in the pits
That session was nice and quiet for me really, passed 2 cars, and got passed by another 2 but just spent most of it trying to hunt down Kurt in his CTR
My other session was hectic, loads of traffic, most of which was faster then that stupid, slow arse Escort estate holding just about everyone up at somepoint and a fair lack of track etiquette from a lot of drivers, plus a Saab cabrio taking to the grass round the inside of Tower, not sure what that was about
