Thanks Peter,

I’ve driven Croft in my Scooby and my Seven, but expect the Atom will be quicker pretty much everywhere. My Seven basically stopped accelerating at 90 down the start straight so Quarry was pretty easy to nail (it was geared for sprints). The corner I always struggle with is Camp Corner, the corner leading onto the start straight. I am always wary of overdoing it and connecting with the pit wall and then end up taking too much speed off on entry and then getting over excited and getting on the gas too soon on the way through. Practice, patience and trust in the contact patches is required methinks.

Yeah I get a bit there too, especially as there was a change of tarmac there which could unsettle the car. I remember in the rain ending up on the infield in the run up the the final corner just after the pit lane entrace! Gets a bit slippery!

Enjoy though Steve, look forward to an update.

Sorry mate. I can't make it.

I have Silverstone on Sunday and I can't take a whole weekend away from the family.

Take the offer of a free run around in the school cars after the briefing to learn the lines.

Tower drops away and tightens. Turn in later than you think.

Take care over Avon rise. Too fast impacts the braking for Quarry. Get it lined up and settled again afterwards before braking for Quarry.

Have fun and post us some pics / vids. :vroom:

Peter.

Am now booked and confirmed for Castle Combe on the 9th June.

Plan to take it gently as this will be my first track day in the Atom but the forth car I have taken there. Fair to say the Atom has the highest power to weight of them so far.

There’s still spaces if anyone fancies joining me.

Steve
