Me too, waiting for Dave to upload it.
Ryan, that bit isn't just grass, there's like a surfacing underneath which is still pretty grippy in case you run wide.
I can definitely confirm after yesterday that the whole passengers slowing you down mentally thing doesn't seem to apply all that much to me

Full video is 29 mins long If I start it from when we get going and stop at the end of the session it'll be a lot shorter.

Should be decent, bit of grass cutting, bit of sideways under braking and a piroueting VX220

Can see why that VX220 span - completely the wrong place for the corner.\
That J turn probably saved you hitting him as well, he's got a left lock on when he was going backwards which means if he had kept that on he would have re-entered your path. You can see him switch locks at 5.17.

Good video!
Looks like you both weren't quite as close as I thought during the VX spin

Yeah watching the VX spin back he made a good choice there but as you say it feels a lot closer at the time and having the front end swing back out at me wasn't great
Again watching back, the wide exit to tower at the end may have been more of an unconscious effort at keeping with the Westfield rather than the tyres going off 
Didn't know you'd got the ending on film too

It sure does! Especially as the mirrors seem to magnify a bit more than I'm used to from my daily!
It's why I was concerned that I may have peeved him off by having to whack on the brakes as I was on the apex in front of him when we were both giving it a bit.
All good fun though!

End of the day when there's 4 cars involved like that all you're thinking is 'don't hit anything' how you go about that is either gonna work or not, this one worked and that's all that matters as far as I'm concerned, if it hadn't, I'd have learned something for next time I come across that situation. What you did was spot on though, kept yourself out of trouble without blocking anyone else's way out.
Cheers for the vid as well Dave, I was gutted my camera was being a fanny

No problem, Mike  Was a good ride and worth my tenner all day long Just too bad the nurburgendy was out of action after the first session
Oh and btw i think the rattling on the video was the gay keyring thing which i have now taken off
