mav Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 BAT 3... One Red was my fault - following a moment and hitting the rumble strip very hard, the inertia cut-out switch, switched and cut out the fuel (coasted to 100yds short of the pitlane...

Mike Molloy Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks to Geoff and Jonny Bookatrack for a cracking day. Great weather helped as well! Haven't had the seven out on track for a couple of years now, so I was well ring rusty to begin with. Improved a bit in the afternoon but I still got dusted off by some seriously quick drivers! Chapeau-of-the-day to Mr P---PEW - looked like a bone stock road car (complete with spare wheel) but obviously driven by the Stig! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin b Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Big thanks to Geoff and the Bookatrack team for a good day My first time at Rockingham, will certainly come back twas a great track. I think the red flags were probably 50-50 bookatrack rentals and us but as OPL there are no opportunities to tidy up at the end of a session, I do prefer OPL though.

Alan Bowler Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks to all the organisers - really enjoyed Rockingham - will certainly go back again. I think the OPL format worked well. There were alot of red flags, but stranded cars seemed to get sorted out very quickly. I never had to queue otherwise, and the numbers on track seemed about right to me. The concrete around the banked curve might be a bit intimidating in the wet though... was getting "the fear" in the dry! AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyleroux Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I can't apologise enough for the red flags caused by the BaT Cats. There were 7 reds in total, 6 of which were our cars - although only one of those was a driver error. We had the worst weekend ever in terms of reliability unfortunately - 2 engine failures and a gearbox on the same day - unprecedented! To be fair the cars have been ultra reliable for a good 18 months or so now so I think it's just bad luck and a terrible coincidence!

AndyG Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Another thanks to all the organisers, top day, managed to get through 100l of fuel. I could hardly lift my pint on saturday night. Tantrum the Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Molloy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Crikey, I just looked at my sump... That hairpin turn off the banking ot to the infield has obviously taken its toll! Time for a sacrificial bash plate methinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo71 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I can neither confirm or deny the identity of 'The Stig', but it was me in P***PEW, green all over standard apart from replacement K series, after low oil pressure/disintegrated sump baffle episode. Sorry about the spare wheel I always forget to take it off - I was once asked at Rockingham (in the wet), if I left it on to aid traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
