hi Ady, thought you might have got out at Cadwell. I think you asked me about mallory times whilst you were at my place, if i remember correctly, i said a 1'03 would be inside the top 10 with around 1m being podium contention.

Warped disks? that'd explain a few things... lol!

Just remember thogh, that the laptimes set at mallory were on normal Diablo's as control tyre, NOT rosso's, so its a bit like comparing apples with oranges really.

Plus it was raining when we were there in 2008
