Strange he wasn't black flagged. It's as if he thought it was an RMA day with passing allowed on both sides or he was just an absolute tool and didn't care :o Luckily I didn't see too many idiots when I was out on track but then I did spend most of the day plugged into a charger ;D

That chap in the red Alfa was an utter tool. He passed me a couple of time on the wrong side. Luckily i give everyone a wide birth, and use my mirrors extensively or it could have been a crash each time.... :doh:

Sorry, Nick. My comment was aimed at Atom 4 owners with wings, not yours..

Cheers,

My cornering speed is limited by my sphincter! Not the car. I doubt the wings have little effect at the cornering speeds we do. They look nice tho ;D

Ah good point, I forgot about your wings. Would be interesting to see a like for like comparison.

Very interesting to see the speed difference between Pete's 4 and your car on the straights too.
I wonder how much drag my wings make? 10mph? I was going to take um off to see at one point. But did'nt get around to it...

I shall be booking another day ASAP! :)

And yes i got wet on the way home! :P Wasn't bad tho, and all very safe. :tu:

First time around Silverstone. Took me a while to learn the layout, and was only just getting the gears right towards the end.

Select HD and the highest res you can....

Damp conditions with a drying racing line. Still learning the circuit.


Dry line but damp off the racing line. Still learning the circuit layout.


Fully dry now and getting the shift points sorted as the session progresses. Will be HD eventually when YT catches up!


Fully dry now and got most of the shift points sorted. Really enjoying it now


Still not pushing hard on the braking or cornering, but i'm still learning the car and I really enjoyed it. 8)

Here's a clip of one of my fastest (but scrappy) laps of the day in the Tesla - I was basically getting two or three laps before the battery overheated and I lost 10-20mph on the straights :doh:



Great to meet you all. I was very jealous of you guys when the track finally dried out.

Looking forward to seeing footage from the Atoms! ;D
