Be sure to select 1080 HD from the gearwheel if it starts in 360p!

I'm at combe on Monday hopefully on the ar1's pray for dry weather

Nice driving Malcolm ( as always ) the car is going well
I can see you have 3 seconds on road tyres and semi slicks give another 2 seconds
So I’m looking forward to seeing a 1:22 in the future which is a very respectable lap time for Combe 😉
Thanks for the video to assembly which shows a great view of some of the stands at the show
Regards
Pete

Hi Steve,
Is it an open pit lane track day ?
I may pop down but my car isn’t track ready so won’t be taking part
Are you on your own or is there other RX-8s ?
