Here is a video link of last night on my local track here in france. Video by darkside a French forum pal(bastien).
You may notice the overtaking by others on a yellow flag. Idiots. here goes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mefmDVOhbcQ&list=UUodMjS2cX74Dpemxv3IolNw

Here is another. Takes a bit of time to get onto the track. The back straight I am doing 125/130mph. That m3 was getting along very well indeed.

Looks a nice flowing track that Joe. You just need to carry a little more speed into/out of those corners though. Shouldn't really see anything going by a 350bhp coupe at the end of a long straight into a corner tongue

I dont think i have 350bhp Dan. There are some difficult corners on that track. But i am on that track so often that i ease up somewhat to give the coupe a break at times.

Plus that camera on the roof makes it sound like you've entered the electric car series!

Looks like you had fun though, which is the most important thing.

True. But its not my camera. Its one of the French forum members he plonks it on when i take him out on the track.

We have 4 or 5 coupes now that meet up at the track evenings ,myself and Frazer(french coupe) are the only brit coupes there though.
Mine is the only one that goes on track. 6 people got a ride last Saturday.

Great evening out and Joe is happy to take people out for a ride. Very enjoyable and very nice of Joe too.

Also nice to see a few Coupe's in the car park too.

Liam the mix is great. 106 at 150hp gives me a hard time!

You're missing the apexes by a mile and your lines are sometimes quite cubical. Bad brakes? Tighter lines and more speed. How fast were those those laps and what is your fastest?
