@madder - my original vid quality isn\'t brilliant. I\'m using a Novus Eye, which captures in MP4 at 640x480 (VGA). This next vid is a direct upload from the MP4 file, no editing. It\'s OK for "analysis" but quality still poor....

madder quote from video "thats why these (rx8) are the best vehicles in the world" - I don\'t think Nick said that!!

Glad you can make it to RS7 and to the non-existent outing to Cadwell (I\'ll post up v.soon on this!)

A few dry-ish laps (62-64 sec laps);

Hi Malcolm, I would definitely put in a quality claim for your brake pads, for then to wear out in one track day is wrong, it is not as if you were over using them either.

madder

which pads were your running casey?

"Being that these pads are  streetable, they are not intended for intensive and continuous hard  braking over the temperature and speed limit on the race track (see  chart below).  Otherwise, excessive wear may occur."

The photo\'s are now up from Captured in Digital. I don\'t think I\'ll be buying as there\'s only 4 of mine for the entire day (really only two, they were taken at the same corners on different laps) :Grrr

The Cadwell pics were much better...

Thanks for the link Ian, there are 6 of me of which 5 are badly overexposed but 1 awesome shot of my car in the rain. I think I am going to pass too   :D

@Ian - thanks for the link. I\'ll be passing on those pics too; about a dozen of me in total, all from the same angle, and a not very interesting one.

@Crissy - I have a load of pics of your car taken last in the day (you were the only rotary out at the time!), all taken down the back straight, but I\'ll dump them all onto CD and let you have them when we next meet. One example below.

I was running on brand new "RacingBrake" ET900\'s, which are designed for track use only. They only work properly when warmed up.....................

I wasn\'t - I gave the camera to my work mate and he went round taking pics.
