a couple of years ago Mrs E bought me a test drive of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage around the
racing circuit at Knockhill, now on the day I did take some video but I thought that I'd
accidentally deleted it all, until recently when I rediscovered some of the footage,
now it's not enough to make a complete vlog, but to be perfectly honest when I heard the purr
and then the roar of that Vantage engine, I knew i just had to put out the footage that I found,
so welcome to Knockhill racing circuit, let's get into that Aston Martin and let's put our foot down
and let's absolutely let rip, welcome to RogVLOG,
and then we're ready to go over to that right-hand, side keeping an eye on the exit light,
there it is that's just going green, there we go so we can head out onto the track,
and straight away we're looking ahead looking for that first turning point, all the way up the road,
nice and smooth and applying the brakes, makes you feel the difference in the car straight away,
that nice neat line all the way up the road, looking towards the chicane now,
we'll touch on the brakes,
bearing that in mind,
nice back on the power, just look at the head all over here, use that view to your advantage,
you can see the view, opening all the way around here, the acceleration going that's good stuff,
making sure we get over to the left, and open the corner up on the way out, and drive back here
for the car straight away,
okay,
carrying much more speed than the previous lap,
so when we do catch the car in front they'll move to the right, they'll allow us to overtake on the
left-hand side, so we'll get the timing right for that will happen and safely,
thinking all the way through,
a little bit early on the turn of the night you have to correct it just a little bit it's good,
we're straight back into our rhythm, there's our turning point, nice and smooth on the power,
but steep hill here so we're on that properly now, that's getting thrilled in this view
getting the drive out there much earlier than the previous lap,
and it shows you the difference that makes just missing the braking, just by
simply a couple of car lengths you just run on past that turning,
just in time for that turning point that's good,
tighten up the steam just a little bit, and then more power now build it up,
wow, that really brought back some fantastic memories,
pity it was such a dull day but the experience was absolutely incredible, the speed of that car,
the manoeuvrability and the roar of that engine just can't be beaten, I know now why
James Bond loves his Aston Martins so much, thank you so much for watching this episode of RogVLOG,
and until the next episode remember there's always something to see so get out there and find it.
