I think my other half beat you by an hour as he booked last night.

He will be there in a green racing kit car.
If I have to go, just look for a very tired girl (I have been told we have to leave home at 5:30am), I might have to bring a yellow lotus elise.

What are the others taking?

No need to rub it in Hopin for a cancellation in which case we will be there in our yellow elise (snap) track car.

Is it close enough for you to turn up anyway (as someone else may not arrive)?

Yep, thats what we're gonna do. I've been in touch with B.A.T and they doubt a full showing on the day but then that gives them an extra booking if we do get on track. SO..we'll see you there..Blue trooper with mustard S1 on trailer.

Well, that was my first time at Cadwell Park - what a circuit!

Weather was fantastic and driving standards were almost exclusively superb. I can't wait to go back.

Dave, nice to see you (and the car).

I am so pleased you were able to get on track.

Regarding the journey home, I did manage to get Darren to slow down once out of Lincoln (it took a bit of work though). I really missed my scoob for the drive there (creature comforts).

I didn't drive anything on track, just had a few passenger laps in the race car. We even got some good track footage from the fixed mounted camcorder (so Darren can learn the circuit before the next race).

Bikes were annoying in the afternoon, I even had to ask some to move as they blocked the trailer and parking area....dumb.

I hope you had a good day.

Glad to hear you got home ok. I was doing 70 ish and he shot past on dual carriageway. (bloody maniac)
Yeh, was glad to get on track and had a good afternoon but developed a poorly engine right at the end which sounds a bit terminal so went home in fits of depression.
What car were you with mahatma, glad you enjoyed the day.
Met cirvy who looked to be going v well in his cerbie. Bit difficult to spot tho in that dull colour .

Was in a blue/green Metro, my brother had the grey one. That orange cerbie was quick, I expect he pedals it well - is it standard?

Would love to go around Cadwell in a quick Caterham or a Radical, the pace that they carry through the bends must be a lot of fun.

So you were part of the mad metro crew!! looked to be going well.. The guy in the tuscan mentioned that two metros kept passing him laugh I had a look when you had the bonnet up, and noticed the K series motor. Is it a 1.8 ?

One was an 1800 VVC, the other is pretty much a VHPD engine (Exige/CatR400).

Good cheap fun.
