Nice vid, but that driver is woeful. I don't even know how many seconds he lost by bouncing off the revlimiter, not knowing how to heel-toe, taking forever to shift, and using the wrong gear at times.

There's a good reason he was back of the pack and losing position. Not the point though.

Could you imagine going out to a racetrack somewhere and gridding up with 20+ MR2s for a shootout?

well if you liked that then try this!

http://media.putfile.com/pembrey-2nd-race

I am not a fella but sorry yes a girl in my second year of racing....
this is my first ever attempt at Pembery.

yes my car is stock....we cannot run anything else....but I dont intend on hanging around, the guy infront has 13 years race experience and the white mk1 at the start was a race ARDS instructor, the green car has a SILVERSTONE race instructor driving it

yes that first race you guys have viewed at Brands was crap as you say but I had no 4th gear and was loosing 3rd.

23 mr2`s on a grid.............it`s excellent fun!!!!!!!

try my web site..... http://sarahwherrymr2racing.com/ I am rebuilding it but almost done...TOOTLES!

Excellent - and welcome aboard. Forgive us "armchair generals" as it's easy to pick things apart when you can sit back and watch the vid - repeatedly.

I can tell you that in the heat of the moment I've bounced rev limiters, overcoocked corner entries, botched an occasional shift, screwed up rev-matching on my downshifts and a host of other minor errors.

The bright spot was that I was actually having fun on a race track chasing down other cars while making those mistakes, lol. Keep the vids coming!

Thank you very much for sharing that other video with us!

Must have been frusterating as all get out to have your tranny giving you hell like that. Did you get it sorted or did you have to swap it?

I love how you put the second rear view mirror in so the camera can see behind.

.....Only kidding.

thank you all for the welcome and the positive chat!
the gearbox was changed swiftly after Brands Hatch, I wasn`t going to mangle the clutch.

Bad news I cannot post any videos on this forum only the Pembrey circuit because I am required to sign a publication waver, Pembrey are not owned by J.P so this is`nt an issue there.

Good news if you become a member of ...

http://www.imoc.co.uk

it`s free and myself and other racers post under motorsport & events, this site is affiliated and we can all post pics & video on there with out risk of a fine, so nip to it and you can cut and paste links as this is how the first vid got here, thanks again p.s I am not vanishing I will pop in and I can give you chaps lots of still pickies!

The sanctioning body you run with allows this? I run with NASA in the US and if the drivers aren't fully kitted with safety gear we black flag 'em. They even have to have fire resistant underwear which is spot checked on the grid.

I bet that would be so fun, would suck to have an accident, bc in one hit alot of mr2s are taken out at once.

no gloves not in regs it is up to the driver but if you wear them they must be FIA spec (go figure).
