Well that was bloody cold this morning! I was going to come back over but the house seemed so much more warm and inviting.

I only took 20 pics (Yes, Two-Zero) My camera is like Kev D's cars, doesn't come out in the rain.

Apparently he changed gear just where there was a river across the track which upset the car and spun him across the track onto the grass and into the barrier

Looks like you all had a ball regardless of the weather!! Good for you

In regards to the black spolierless bugeye...(awesome example btw) is that 2 air intake trumpets I see?

May I ask what the nearside trumpet cools? And where you got them? They look like Roger Clarke but just incase...

Sorry to hijack thread...

Great pictures! Took a few shots myself, though it was my first time with the camera so I don't know how well they will come out. Will try and get them off the camera tonight and find out!

Was hoping to grab you T5NYW and try and talk you into giving me a passenger ride, but everytime I spotted your car it was on track, and no matter how much waved you didn't seem to be pulling over...

Well that would be a sure way of getting your attention, but - call me a pedant - I think I'd rather experience a passenger ride from inside the car rather then splattered across the bonnet...

Anyway, here's my photographic contribution, not the best pictures the world has ever seen, but it was my first time with the camera (and it was pissing down!), so this is the best I managed!



































I've left the numberplates on the cars so the drivers can identify their cars - if you're a driver and you want your number plate removed from the picture then please let me know and I'll take the picture down!

I think you are doing your photography skills down - you have some awesome pics there - cracking one of Mr Budgie!

Also nice to see a 'before' shot of the Porsche - possibly one of the last pics of it 'whole'.

Looks like everyone had a great, though slightly damp, day!

Glad Ark's porker wasn't ready as we couldn't get of the drive on Monday morning (not because we drive a Focarse - but because of the snow!)

That's a bit harsh calling the driver a "plonka". After the incident I spoke with the Trackmaster Instructor who was in the car at the time. As most of those on track would have known the Porsche GT3 was caring a yellow square with black diagonal cross denoting a novice which was the reason the driver paid to have the Instructor in the passy seat.
The reason the car went out of control was quote Instructor "we were just coming onto the Grandstand straight and at the precise moment the driver changed from 3rd to 4th the car crossed running water on the track which unbalanced the car and hence the total loss of control".
How many of the so calling drivers on Monday thought they were in full control all the time?
At least this poor guy know he needed Instruction, unhappily as it may have ended for him.

Oh ps when the car was over taking most of you it had the Trackmaster Instructor at the wheel.
So have a heart guy's it could well have been your car being totaled.
