Gm77 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I hear someone spun a 3-11 at Goodwood FoS this weekend - not sure who was driving. Having experienced a spin in a 3-11 myself I'm happy to offer some advice perhaps through a new support group? Its a traumatic experience! On the plus side, I hear that they build 3-11s with rabbits feet strategically placed, and hence neither incident resulted in damage. A blessed car indeed!?

Gold FFM JayEmm Posted June 28, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 What happened there? He can't have been going too fast. I'm going to guess the circuit was very wet, as it looks like he turned left and there just wasn't any grip available?

Gm77 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think you're right James. I believe David had mentioned there was very little grip on turn 1. He was very quick on the circuit at Goodwood when he took me around in the 3-11 a couple of weeks ago. An excellent driver and very nice chap.

Advantage Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 53 seconds? Seems optimistic. Clarification might be required Bibbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo73 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 71.51 according to this: https://www.goodwood.com/grrc/event-coverage/festival-of-speed/2016/6/supercar-shootout/ In the competition for Race Cars For The Road, Caterham proved that the Seven is still a winning formula. John Barnes completed the climb in 61.76 seconds, crossing the line at 106mph in the 620R. Hot on his heels was Oliver Webb in the BAC Mono, recording a time of 62 seconds with a finish speed of 106.7mph. Completing the podium was the Praga R1R. Tomas Vojtecia crossed the line at 102.8mph just 62.85 seconds after setting off from the bottom of the hill.

Jamie-BellandColvill Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 There was only one timed run unfortunately and yes you guessed it, it was the one in which David spun in the Video above and clocked a 71.51. He was very annoyed as he was pretty confident he would win it.......Oh well. BTW he is now know as David Spinnard :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
