Second photo looks like the alloy is almost on the floor... That's some heavy cornering! lol

The lean is a bit furious lol

That is at the bottom of The Mountain at Cadwell.

That's me! Although I think I was passenger at the point, it was either my bf or my uncle driving. Pretty obvious as they were trying to kiss people's rear bumpers the whole day!!

It was but a bit too far to drive for 40 mins on track :?

Luck of the draw with rear wheel lift shots; I've been pretty lucky the past two years though, have managed to get one on every trackday.

If anyones interested have a look at the full set of photos on the RS site of Bedford. Being very wet there are some classic not-on-the-racing-line shots of loads of cars! :lol:

Considering the state of them, surprisingly good. The track was waterlogged; the main straight had me spinning in every gear up to 4th due to the standing water and Stowe had a river running through it that caused major understeer problems for the 888 users.

Having said that they must be pretty capable; if you look at the second shot you can see I got a rear wheel up on the dry racing line so the front nearside must've been cutting the water fairly effectively.

FYI for those that don't know, the dry racing lines and wet racing lines are different. Wet, generally speaking involves driving around the outside part of a corner where the turning angle is less hard. To get a rear wheel up in the pouring rain on a dry racing line on worn 888s shows the grip available (or stupid confidence of the driver :lol: )
