The last time I went up Shelsley was as a passenger with Greg Dixon Smith in his factory race Plus4SS. He drove up at his usual race speed and I was hoping for some idea of the racing line from an expert, Fat chance, it all happened in a blur of noise and G force! It did out it all into perspective though...how important it is to know the handling of your car at the limit and have confidence in it and your abilities. Being clamped into Tillet race seats and full harness makes a huge difference too! How you reach the handbrake in a harness I'll never know but then who uses it in competition?
I had planned to take my car up but after that experience I though it would be an anti climax and also provoke me into driving past my limits! After all its all for fun.
