I wasn't there, I was just interested after you mentioned your lap time. I went at the beginning of November and although I didn't manage to time any laps, I timed an XE Nova that I overtook from his video, his fastest lap was 2.32 so i would've been slightly quicker than that as he was holding me up on some corners. Just good to get a bit of a comparison

It's a decent comparison really, it was his first time out too and he used shitty tyres as an excuse too but as I said, he got done by a 1.2 with an EPIC driver

It would've been about that yeah, unfortunately tho, I don't seem to have the 'I need to drive this home' mentality that I should've had Hence why it's getting crushed shortly and I've got a new track car. I just seem to think 'go for it' when I get out on track and the whole getting home and needing my car for work thing only appears when something goes wrong, ie. the few times that I've spun and when I crashed but obviously that one was too late
