Was a Fantastic day and I would recommend a track day to anyone!
Most of the pics were taken from the from the exit of Druids by a pro, who charges £12 a jepg
(money for old rope if you ask me.) So these are just screenshots from his webby Had a few laps playing with the car sliding round corners at the start of the day, but because it was killing the tyres I calmed down a bit and just tried to be smooth.
I was getting up to about 110-115mph at the end of the straight and the turn in to Paddock is an eyeopener the 1st few times.
Once you get used to it tho its an amazing corner
Went off road at one point after taking some advice from one of the guys, who said he was going thru Surtees in 4th at 90mph so theres me taking Surtees at 85-90mph in 4th, wasn't too clever nearly spun but managed to control it and keep a straight line over the grass to get back to the track. I then went for a few laps as a passenger in his car which is a brand new Imprezza STI Version 7, what he had forgoten to mention and I realised when I got in his car was that the STI 7 comes with a 6 speed gear box. DOH!

To everyone that attended would you forward to me by e-mail your thoughts on the day, Experainces and how your car performed. Also add that if you took Passengers, who they where and their reaction!
Martin from Japanese Performance magazine wanted a feature but couldnt attend, so i am doing a story along with some photos for the next issue.
Funnier the better!!!
Cheers
(Need it for Next Monday)
