Cool Wonder if I will have fun today ?

Will be at www.palmersport.co.uk today

Dry this morning but rain this afternoon so will have a mixed bag but surely the afternoon can't be as bad as the Brands Hatch day

Thumbs up

Morning dry & afternoon wet

Caterham Pursuit was my best event as I won it.

The BMW M3 GTP, Caterham 7 Superlight, Clio Cup Racer, Porsche 911 JP3 & Jaguar JP1 were awesome. Go-Karts were a giggle in the wet.
The Land Rover Defender was a skill event which I scored high on.

Highlight's of the day
1. Passenger ride in the Jaguar JP1 with one of the instructors. Some really ***** out speed. It was really amazing what grip these cars have.

2. Formula Jaguar Single Seater. The second best adrenalin rush of the day after the passenger ride. Even in the wet I was able to maintain high speeds with the wet tyre setup.

A truly awesome day & thoroughly recommended.
Every one of the instructors were pushing you to the limit in each car which on a couple of runs see me onto the painted surfaces in the wet which ended up in a few spins

Sounds awesome must start saving.
Can`t believe how small the caterham`s are sort of comfortable when you are in but when stood next to them they are just like an oversize go kart.
Well done for winning the caterham pursuit.

if my money pit is on the rad and hasn't bled me completely dry I may crash that event Pete

probably the wrong choice of words when considering a driving day

I SMS'd you earlier to explain
Do you know how much it is for the day ?

They also do a open pit lane where they join up the circuits to give over 4 miles of circuit so would be up for this if anyone else is ?
