Had a cracking day driving the National circuit, this includes part of the banking and the infield. The infield is superb with a couple of double apex corners and tight hairpins. Its very much a handling circuit.

Excelent value at £80 for about an hour and a halfs track time spread over the day.

If any of you PH'ers were there I was the chap in the white 944 looking a tad out of his depth in grp 3 (I seemed to find myself sorrounded by Nobles, Radicals and other fast stuff).

Cheers
Steve

I was one of those Nobles Steve. Most of the Nobles were PH'ers. First session was incredibly greasy. Managed a 40mph 360 spin that was almost surreal it was so slow. Managed to keep it firmly on the black after that.

Hope trackdemon is feeling OK today

Wobble a bit ? Rather more than a bit actualy ! I had real problems with the damp on the first session did a harmless 360 on to the grass at that bend.

I missed that one Steve - but I did see the NSX go off, I was right next to it watching through the fence! Hope he was insured!!

Hi, I was in the radical but had to go at lunch time due to the lower arm parting company with the rear wheel last session before lunch, sorry to everyone out there in that session ! I don"t know... 3 years of hard racing and the car has never let me down then on the trackday grrrrr. Hope everyone enjoyed the rest of the day, did it dry out ok ? (went out on slicks in the first session.. hairy !)

Tony.

Hi Guys
I was in the red E30 M3.. didn't have too much fun in the morning as my crap tires gave me no grip at all.
It was fun by the time things dried out in the afternoon.
Managed to get a ride in the GT3RS... my god that is the fastest, best handling car I've ever been in.. thanks to Brendon for letting ride with him..
I want one.. but I don't think selling my E30 and getting a huge loan could do..
