Friendly Development Series

Ricky Willox · Apr 6, 2008

With the up and coming restart of the Friendly Development series.
There has been a rise in the number of cars spotted on our tracks sporting a unique new livery as the pictures from an undisclosed source prove.
Could these be the stars of the future?

Thank you VERY MUCH Bram! Today's event was both informative and fun. It really helped clarify some of the problems I've been having and provided a path (with sufficient practice) to their solution.

Thanks again!!!!

this was good fun indeed, thanks for participating and see you next time!!

P.s. Bob Miley is an

Huge lolololololol.

Thanks Bram, this was a real learning event, enjoyed it very much and would love to do something like this again. I have checked and my fastest lap round Brno in an e90 was 2:18 (which is were I started) but gradually, through you expert teaching, manage to get it down to 2:15.

I did, however, have 1 point to make, I found the e46 easy to drive and was doing 2:15 in that much easier.

LOL's ... that Bob bloke has been showing such tendencies of late ... maybe I should sign up for the next one then, so I can try to give him a race one day

Mmmmm, much to learn I still have, Master.:beer:

Great session Bram, much Kudos to you for your efforts and patience. Likewise for all the other guys involved for sharing thoughts and knowledge about may various aspects such as setups etc.

I've just started to get to grips with the E46 now, getting near to breaking 2:14 laps (which is huge improvements over average 2:23 laps before!)

Cant wait for the next session!

First of all Bram, thank you for your time and coaching, much appreciated, as i did gain a lot from these tips. Still a lot to do but have something concrete to practice with.
All i will say is, i found the E46 a very nice car to drive, but that could have also been due to the setup i had.
Looking forward to the next session.

Sounds good, I struggle with the understeer in FWD. I'm starting to get the hang of oversteer with some cars but could do with some pointers

Nice one Bram :good:

Steven Palmer · Feb 28, 2009

I'm up for this one. Understeer is probably my main source of frustration.

Tim Ling · Feb 28, 2009

Yes please Mr. Bramage!

Bob Miley · Mar 1, 2009

I learnt so much from the first lesson I would like to join this one but feel it`s unfair after I was lucky enough to benefit from the first and someone else should have a go.

For all who are interested, Bram is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend joining these lessons.
