Donington National 19th October

[JBUK]

Anyone else booked on this? Last one of the year for the turbo MX5, stripped out 106 coming along too for company.

It would have helped if I'd set this up as the 19th November and not October... Happy for title to be amended if possible!

Anyone else going along? Helpfully I've just discovered a snapped coil spring on the MX5 so I've got a late night coming up.

Didn't see this thread due to the wrong date

I was there today, crazy number of red flags. I couldn't believe how after a red flag, on the out lap, someone else causes a red flag. And then the first full lap after that one was another red flag.

Some of the driving was atrocious too, last time I'll be doing a weekend track day as it seems to always happen on a Saturday track day.

It was a bit ridiculous, especially in the afternoon. Seemed to always be one of the Mini Challenge guys or the green metallic clio at Craners.

Still, good once I got some heat into the tyres.

Was it a dry day? Shouldn't be going off in the dry in my opinion.

Damp in the morning but dry in the afternoon. There were MINI's sitting in the middle doing about half the speed you should be doing, cars spinning down craners, an ahole of a Caterham driver, someone testing/renting Ant Whorton-Eales Clio Cup car that went off twice, at least 3 or 4 people out braking themselves at the last chicane and ending up in the gravel.

All in all an interesting day. No more weekend track days for me ever again.
