The Toyota sprint series hit Woodbridge this weekend

 

a long 2.6 mile course, made up of smooth tarmac to gravel

not only do you need to drive as fast as you can, you also need to remember where you are going :)

 

happy to say I picked up a 1st in class, with a time of 2.35minutes :wub:

putting me into 9th place overall, rather chuffed as the "other cars" range from 500hp monsters to 4wd mini monsters

not to mention the excellent drivers now involved, Jonny Milner (ex british rally champ) took overall 1st

 

 

here is a video from the on-board camera

Well done mate, good video :D

 

How do you remember that course though! :o

 

it is hard and takes a few laps

you get 2 slow sighting laps followed by 2 untimed laps

then onto 7 or 8 timed laps

although you still forget !!

 

take a look at 2:20 for what happens when you forget !!

and that was on the 5th timed lap

:lol: Even the pros make mistakes...did you squash a few cones!

 

I heard they survived though

well they reappeared on the next lap :o

 

and I got a void run :D

 

Why give you a void, wouldn't a time penalty be better?

times are so close, a time penalty would ruin the lap time anyway

and sometimes to hit a cone would give a big advantage in cutting the route and getting a lower time :D

we are all under the same rules so i think it is fair

That's a good point about cutting the route, I suppose voiding the run makes sense.
