Gummen Lelystad meet 29-04-2007

Hey everyone,

Well that was a great day on a small little circuit!! Robokill had just returned from his vacation in Spain this night, I had talked to him on the phone just before he came back and we sortof last minute agreed he'd join in so at 9am I was at his door to pick him up. I didn't actually know that he would return THAT night so when he walked down sleepely and I found out he had only slept for 4 hours after driving straight home from Spain to Holland......

Anyways, I had promised him a long long time ago I would let him drive my car around a circuit and this would seem to be a good oppertunity to do so. Now normally I don't let anyone drive my car around a circuit but I know his driving and I know that he knows how I feel about my car
That said, this turned out to be a BIG mistake :
A) He broke my indicator switch (and later on replaced it with a brand new one )
B) He consistently drove lap times 2 to 3 seconds FASTER then I did from the first lap, having very little experience driving my car and not having driven a Hachi for weeks
C) He drifts way better then me, and now all my friends think everytime the car was drifting, he was driving, and everytime the car was like a turtle around the track that was me.

Just kidding offcourse. Seriously though, I was VERY impressed with Robokills driving and so where most of the people at the track who met him for the first time. He put down some of the faster times of the day and in the morning session even came second to an Opel Speedster.

As for me, well I was somewhere around 5th or 6th or maybe even lower Still I feel I've improved my driving alot aswell. Lelystad is a circuit I could much better try out the new handling of my car with the new setup and I am nothing more then amazed with it. I even started drifting the track doing some scandinavian flicks on the S turns and I suck at drifting!!

Anyways, off to some pictures made by my good friend Dick at http://www.autopics.nl. For some reason all the pictures with the guy driving with the open helmet, thats me, and all the pictures with the guy DRIFTING with the closed helmet thats Robokill.... Where's the pictures of me drifting ??
