Yeah great day out but last time I got a rollocking for being too much Db

Nice track and the banking works for a heavy motor too

I'm more looking forward to the in-field for my little car Rick. Won't have any V8 thunder to trouble the noise meters either!

Don't put it in your diary yet Mark. Been talking to Alex since I posted this thread and he's up for a trackday in March but not Rockingham as it isn't on his race calendar. He's looking at dates for Combe, Mallory, and Cadwell.

I'll keep you posted.

Friday 30th March Silverstone International with Circuit Days for £200 is quite tempting.

You're all coming out the woodwork now! wink Thought no one was interested last week. Keep the suggestions coming. I'm fairly flexible to track personally. Only thing is if its on a weekday I need to clear a day off with work, preferably with plenty of notice.

Shame you locals missed Brands, This is my favourite video of the day.... Me with Kovac in passenger seat playing with and overtaking a 750MC MR2 Championship car that was lighter and running on 888's woohoo

..... yes I know opposite lock isn't the quickest way of exiting a corner..... it is the most fun though.
Plenty of other videos on my account.

Doesn't sound bad at all. Open pit lane? Got a link to the organiser?

I'm glad you bumped this. I pointed Alex in the direction of the thread a few days ago but he doesn't seem to have turned up.

shout Alex!

Booked! Can't wait. Feels like so long I've done some proper driving driving

Ej - Can we tempt you to join us? I thought about the Donny one but decided a 3hr drive in my French tin can with zero sound-deadening was'nt a price I was willing to pay this time. Bit different in your GTR! I will make my way up to that part of the country some time though. It'll be my first trackday in the car so want to break myself in gently wink

Temping! I've got an autosolo to attend the following day, might be the perfect excuse to get to know the cup before I dive in to my first solo!

Sorry John I did mean to reply. If the car is back on its feet by Donny I will get along. As the new series I am going for is Donny in apr. so need a practice day. Not got much hope though, may be another week for suspension yet, the it needs setting up and engine tuning.

Al - Do it. You know it makes sense!

Alex - Keep me posted and what other days you may be doing from May onwards (going on holiday April so that month is out) . Definitely want to try some other tracks this summer.
