Default Video from RAF Marham "track" day

heres a 10 minute exert from when i was on the airfield at RAF Marham for a charity track day.


had synchro's 3 + 4 hurting so i was having to double-declutch those gears, in case anybody noticed/wondered.


opinions/comments welcome

Your Domo Kun scares me. Why does he stare like that?!?

Nice vid man. Looks like a blast. I've always wanted to drive on an old airstrip like that at speed. I did an autocross on one once, but it was a bit too confined.



oh yeah, whats the screen on the left of the dash? navi?

So why'd you flip the video? Just kidding

What kind of gauges are those you have?

yea, the runway was awesome, was great reeling in some expensive and powerful cars


the gauges are 60mm GReddy things, A/F and temp. they wind me up though so i'm taking them out soon


shame the video quality is awful when uploading to youtube. i'll have to do a prper upload of the original to some webspace soon so you guys can appreciate the noise a bit better

yea, having lots of room is one of the best bits


i spun at about 80 on the entry to the main straight, i just gracefully slid to a stop. don't have to worry about hitting anything

I can't believe they didn't make you remove all of that stuff from your dash! That would be a major no no here in the US. Anything that is not bolted down needs to be removed from the car.

yea, nothing like that was mentioned. probably because it was run by the RAF, who aren't exactly track-savvy

in hindsight i suppose it was a bad idea. but in an accident the soft toy or piece of paper wouldn't really have done much damage

i should imagine that navi though would leave a mark
