I think we all had a great time - though I feel for Stuart with his day screwed before he got to the track. Two cars back and that would have been me hitting the deer .

I have got some great photos from the course photographer, inc on the Mountain - once I have a chance to reduce in size will post.

Was overtaken on the day by about 6 cars. But by and far the most impressive was a white RS1800, rear wheel drive being pedalled at an incredible pace. Had no chance trying to follow him even with all the AWD trickery at my disposal - hats off to the guy. Found out later he was a local, so he knows the track well - but even so it was a joy to follow him even if just for a short time.

thanks for that mark, it was great fun and we will do it again soon your car is well sorted stick with it mate ps my tyres are foooooked on the front brand new..3week ago REO40S... never mind

DaveSTI350

Yes dave he was quick the RS1800 it took me a lap to pass him and the evo seemed quick to but went passed him to.. sorry to say but nothing passed me and i toroughly enjoyed it i will be getting some ASTs. to stop me destroying tyres

Red Man

was that the red evo - because I managed to get past him - when he got boxed behind a slowing caterham - on film as well.

ps: if you got past the RS1800 then I have to say your pace was at a different level to mine - will need to make sure we run together next time to see what I can learn

The RS1800 was very impressive - the driver was quite happy to throw in some opposite lock on the mountain (with virtually no run off) - fantastic to watch!

Thouroughly enjoyed my day and the Golf went well though the front tyres were starting to go off towards the end of the day. In hindsight, I should have gone out with the instructor as I know I wasn't making the most of my car - I seemed to always screw one corner up on each lap, but all this makes me want to return!

3 cars falling off on the sighting laps defies belief. The Puma after 50 yards, the Fiesta Cosworth with major damage after 1 1/2 laps and then the 205 just after the gooseneck - not sure what was going on there

Dave (Red Man) seemed to take to Cadwell straight away and was passing most other cars - Dave, you'd certainly do well at The Ring going by your driving yesterday

Defo up for Donington and Oulton sometime soon !

Thanks John - probably the best days driving I have done (if you discount the night time rallies that is).

We must do Cadwell again - and either get the instructor onboard or let me sit in for a few laps. Have some video of me following you, but camera angle is not the best. Will edit and sort out for you in due course. What I do remember is that you did not brake for Coppice, brave man - many did and its where I made most ground on other cars - nicely set up to overtake on the Park straight.

So Donnington and Oulton look like the next trips - will check out dates.
