Nice, I do really want to do one of these track days at some point. Sadly missed all of this years.

The Renaultsport days are great. Only managed Spa this year. Really want to do Brands and Silverstone. Hopefully next year.

Yes, I have to say its the best trackday I've been to. Open pit lane, low number of cars, relaxed atmosphere, helpful staff. Renault dragged out some nice cars too. Really good day

I was there. That's my R26r with a PistonHeads sticker between the exhausts. Brilliant day out and Oulton is a great track too.

The racers ability to corner was pretty amazing, acceleration wise it didn't seem all that spectacular but it carried so much speed around bends I had to hold on to the cage and hit my head on the top bar a couple of times.

The 200t was a bit of a let down though, interior generally nice but everything about it seemed a bit artificial, can feel the electronics nibbling at the brakes around corners quite a bit. It appears nippy through 3rd gear but get it into 4th and it seems to give up pushing much, I'm maybe used to more power now though, the gearbox also seems not to have been programmed to suit the engine power band.

Generally a great day and I avoided death or harm despite my friend going off track around druids biggrin
