on the Nut question forum I posed the question as to the fastest lap of the Nordschlefe by a GT40. Maybe you have the answer ?. The DVD looks to have great posing power BUT where's the BEEF ?.

Hello again -
Does this mean you think I'm an 'anorak'? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1poke.gif[/img]

The video produced by Phil was a great record of a great road trip. Some did'nt even venture onto the track but a great time was still had by all.

Re 'BEEF' I presume you think we were all driving too slow.. well we were! We aimed to get to 10mins and I think we (read Malc) probably achieved that, or very near, but you could not record a flying lap as such and Malc got faster as I read pace notes I'd made during our first lap. Certainly for much of the trailer clip we were 'crusing' driving to the videographers directions..

We would also certainly have been faster had the Sony Playstation/GT4 been available beforehand as it helped a lot with circuit familiarisation when we had two days on track at SPA.

If Frank Catt does'nt mind being referred to as an anorak, I'm sure he may be able to recall the times that Robin / Brian Redman or Mike Wilds achieved in Robin's GTD40...
