Re: Marks Windy Road
Is that the Steep road where I can't quite make that big left at 150?...... sorry I meant 35!

Re: Marks Windy Road
no, this is the one with the wooded section, where Scott came out with us. Apparantly 2pm is a better time to try

Re: Marks Windy Road
Yeah that's the badger, uphill through some almost hairpins, hang a left, lots of swooping stuff down to the junction, turn round and repeat
 Awesome bit of road but on the way back there is one bend I'm sure I could take flat out but I can't get the entry right, I've only been down there 3 or 4 times and every time I nearly bin it on that corner!

Re: Marks Windy Road
you know you're meant to accelerate out of a corner, not into it?! surely knowing you nearly bin it every time should tell you something, either get some new tyres &/or slow down

Re: Marks Windy Road
I know, but that corner is sooooo tempting, I'm sure I could get round it at full throttle but need to try it a few more times to get it right!
 You should have a blast on my beasty, when you've got all that power you just want to use it! Last edited by Thunderace; 20-08-12 at 08:44 PM. |

Re: Marks Windy Road
shall we wait at the side of the road and watch you race up and down all day till you get it right?
