Great video Mark. Was that using a GoPro? I didn't take mine as I figured it would be poor quality but yours came out well.

I forgot how wet the track was for the first 2 sessions lol the lightening was pretty spectacular.

PS. I like how your sitting on 8000 rpm the whole way around the track :lol:

No is was done with VBOX. I realised of a night time there needs to be a light in the footwell for the second camera to 'see'. Also I had not update the footage template for the revised RPM settings so it is showing 4 times the revs so hence it topped out :(

Down the main straight it was at about 8,000 on the change from 3 to 4.

I have checked my note pad for temps and pressures (from previous sessions at QR on the clubman layout) and note that on average the tyres were 18 deg c lower in temps and 3 psi less in hot pressures. So for the next time it is wet the tyres will be set to about 2 PSI less than the normal hot temp.

Finally got around to fixing up a video. I just sat there an watched as my mate did everything haha. Unfortunately, we missed the lightning so it's not as cool as Magpie's video.

The telemetry is off my phone using racechrono... and is questionable haha. The times seemed to match up fairly well.
Cheers,
