Were any PHers at Castle Combe on Saturday ?

I tagged along with a pal who had his Elise booked in for some track time - what a great day ! He let me drive for a couple of sessions - all of a sudden they made sense! Wish my ole Trev could handle like that.

I'm now deaf in my left ear after matey shouting 'BRAKE!!' every time I got up to Quarry

I can see why you lot buy them - great cars.

edited cause I don't know what day of the week it is

Yep always a great day. I didnt get there until about 4.30 but still watched some action but didnt get on track myself unfortunately.

I'm surprised you were braking late if you drive a Trev

They inspire (over) confidence !

Did you see a lightning yellow (lighter than the normal mustard ones) elise going round ? We were in the third and last session.

.....and the White S£ Turbo Esprit - I got out 5 times plus the parade and was also in the last session. Fantastic fun as ever. Interesting range of perfomance from all of the Elsie's out there on Sat. Loads that couldn't live with the Esprit but plenty of others left me for dead.

Agree there - some of the elise/exige went past us like we were standing still. It was our first track day and great fun. Must do it again.

(why the rolleyes ?)
