Onboard Birkett 2011 - Malcolm Edeson Toyota MR2 (MK2) Fastest Lap (2:34) & Race Finish
http://www.driver-coaching.com - Onboard with me on the very last lap of the Birkett 6Hr Relay held at Silverstone GP Circuit (Historic Layout). Despite traffic this turned out to be my fastest race lap. Haivng not really driven the car before the race and not having much of an idea of best tyre pressures etc. I found I was running them too high. In my 2nd run I dropped them a good 3-4 psi each end and they were much better.
Unfortunately at the start of my 2nd stint I suffered a broken wheel and had to limp back to the pits. Once the wheel had been replace I did 3 more laps, made up 8-10 places and on this the last lap set a best time of 2:34.89 which looking at the results was the best time of any of the regular MR2 Championship cars (although my student and 2011 Championship winner James Cross said he also did a 2:34). This was despite carrying 20ltrs of fuel more than I needed as I had fueled for 1hr as there was the possibility I'd have to run that long.

Birkett Start 2011
Who parked that Radical?
Unfortunately he stalled at the front of the grid. This caused a number of seperate accidents as 60 cars go racing off the line.
My camera is slightly higher and a different angle to my eyes so it sees the parked car before I do,
Marshals and medical staff were all top class
I have a kin sore back and my car hasrather a lot of RH wing and suspension danage, It will be back though
Onboard Birkett 2011 - RESTART - Gary Fryer E36 BMW M3 - Session 1
http://www.driver-coaching.com - Onboard with Gary Fryer at the restart of the Birkett 6Hr Relay at Silverstone. The race as red flagged after a massive crash on the grid where a number of cars were involved.
The Birkett is an odd race as it runs to a handicap system. Despite being one of the quicker cars on the circuit Garys BMW started in 46th (out of 63). This was good for video viewers as we see LOTS of overtaking during this session.

Near to losing it on the first lap, but a better run for lap two. Lots still to come from the car as running low Boost on the day.
