I would say that it looks like tyre smoke from rubbing. When they hit the bottom of the hill after the first bend it really compresses down on the tyres by the looks of it and loads of smoke, and whenever there's any sort of bumps and also under braking?

I'm sure anyone behind Clive will say his car is throwing oil out too though with him using premix and throwing it onto everyone's windscreens

Beat myself up for nearly loseing the car. The move was completly planned and I thought it had caught me out------------now I have seen the videos I know it was fluid coming out of the Audi TT that I slipped on  ???

Found this clip, nobody can’t say I wasn’t trying on the opening lap when you see the front and rear on the limit on cold tyres !

Couple of nice pictures have come up.
Must investigate if some camber needs to come off the rear now I have seen the Paddock pic (inside rear wheel)

All the best Clive

Mr Spiller

Good going
