Anglesey Coastal - 11th July 2008
WOW! That’s all I can say about the way the car ran at Anglesey.
What a day… It started off very wet indeed, but Anglesey is famous for its ‘funny’ changeable weather. The car was very quick on standard road tyres even in the slippery conditions and I felt comfortable the the driveshaft issues experienced at Cadwell Park were well behind me. Sure enough Metcheck was right on the money and the sun shone all afternoon. I popped in the video camera and got some great footage.
The first video shows a number of clips throughout the afternoon, how much fun? (including a surprise just after the start/finish). I had my bravery boots well and truly on and was giving it beans (in my book anyway). Not much came past me all day and you can really see in a few clips how good Honda powered Elise’s really are compared to Lotus’ standard fare.
The second video shows me following a friend Ian in his Link-Up Honda conversion. There really wasn’t much to pick between ours cars. Same engine, suspension and tyres. Only differences worthy of note are that Ian has a sports exhaust fitted, his engine produces around 230BHP - a whole 13 more than mine and I was carrying a passenger. See for yourself - we had a great time - both of us faster than a Lotus 211 on this occasion
Next track day is at RAF Valley, again on Anglesey.
