Was at Snetterton yesterday and morning started out very foggy, day schedule started late as about 20 people weren't there for the initial briefing at 8:30!
By the time sighting laps were over the fog had cleared but 10 mins after open pit begun it started raining, I locked up twice braking for Montreal but still managed to kep it on the tarmac each time (mind way off apex) tyres had actually got some heat into them at this stage (plus I think my pads had properly bedding in at this point) so rest of the day was incident free.
Everyone, and I mean every driver behaved great and thanked the other after allowing overtakes. Got quicker and quicker though the day at each corner near end of the day was hitting roughly (mph):
80 Riches,
43 Montreal,
65 Palmer,
40 Agostini (this corner tightened on exit so difficult to get the power down)
70 Hamilton,
38 Oggies (tough corner I thought)
63 Williams, (hit 110 on speedo before braking for Brundle)
38 Nelson (like Oggies I found tough)
65 Bomb Hole (fun corner)
72 Coram,
35 Murrays
Emptied two tanks of fuel but not sure on mileage, all in all great day although my backs a lot more sore than its been on previous track days.
