Hi there, what are you going in?
Same as you squire, my old budget build one, not tracked or used in 2 yrs, but I sold my decent track spec m3 so she's been dragged out the barn & put into action.
Is a bunch of us going, another 328 higher spec than mine, Whoosher & his turbo golfy, a turbo mx5, Honda's Elise, m3s a 36 & 46, vx220

Just the normal bits really, m50 & enda map & raised revs, m3 3.15 lsd, cheapie BC racings (bit soft at mo 6/8) cheap 6pt cage, buckets, strip, lighter battery & exhaust etc, still all steel & glass, no aero mods.
Is a nice little budget car, are a good few steps on it needs to move it forward.
Twin pumps, sunroof out, harder spring rates all on the cards.

I`m hoping it`s drier than Oulton was. That was a wet day !!!
Golf has been sat on the trailer for a month all ready to go, which is pleasing. Matt is taking his E36 328 too, we`ve added a small splitter to that, but it`s otherwise unchanged since Destination Nurburgring 9 back in 2013.
Looking at the attendee list, there are plenty E36 328`s and M3`s, so you guys should have fun
As Lizard said, there are around 10 of us going from Northloop, I`m really looking forward to it

What an absolutely cracking day that was ! Managed to speak to lots of people in the paddock throughout the day. I don`t think I heard anyone moan about the day at all.
The only time I queued to get on track was after the closure when the TT went off and the barriers required repairing. The rest of the time you could come and go as you pleased.
The weather and track conditions were nigh on perfect. It got hot in the car, but you could just some in and grab a drink then go back out whenever you wanted. Great fun and I had some really enjoyable laps with loads of people. Will get a bit of a report written up over the next few days for anyone interested

100% agree Nige, for such high numbers there were very few delays, and only the 1 red, which sadly lasted a while while the guys repaired the armco as fast as they could.
Glad your running repairs worked & you were back out in record time.
As Mrs E would say "everyone played together nicely"

Agreed Andy.
It`s always the case, the TDO`s have been doing this a long time and if there are no red flags, you very rarely get queues apart from at the start of the day and after lunch. It`s the Red`s that cause the queues and often, once you`ve had one Red, you get a few more and that makes it worse. Fortunately, everyone did play together nicely and I certainly couldn`t fault the track behavior of the drivers yesterday.
If only all trackdays were like that eh
Odd fault re the Turbo Actuator failing. It`s a diaphragm and a spring so not much to go wrong, it`s an original Volvo one and obviously just decided yesterday was the day to fail. I had a spare in my trailer so it wasn`t a big issue and as you said, I was back out pretty quickly
