Well - very interesting array of cars!
GT2
MY01 Turbos
996s
993s
Carrera RS
Ferrari 360
355
R500s
Some very serious Elises
Exiges
One off bike engined formula special
The Porks and Ferraris were mostly driven by your grandmother
Best bit was Ferrari 355 who absolutely would not let me past - he blocked me on every line - he was blueflagged by every marshall - and to be fair on the straights was very quick - but would not mve over.
One of the pit bunnies complained to him - and he came over and said - "I thought you were happy to follow me!"
Yeah I was three inches behind you everywhere because I enjoyed reading who made your number plate!
Best bit was guy in 993 let me drive his car - on track! Brilliant!!!!
Oh - and the RMA pit bunnies leave every other track day standing - worth the extra £100 notes for that alone!
Of the expensive cars - only the Carrera RS, one of the Turbos and a Porsche Cup car were quick - i.e. made it interesting.
The R500s and the Elises were the only cars driven properly.
Oh - and the Scoob
They don't like being passed by the shed - not in their expensive motors - video evidence being posted soon.

Type R,
it is very different to other track days I have been on. The average age is 'more mature', the average wealth is 'wealthy'.
I mean - I seemed to be the only person there who was changing their own wheels - in fact I seemed to be the only person there who brought spare wheels - there is a truck that looks after them for the full members!
So if you get your buzz from Scooby/Lancer/Cossie days - then it probably isn't for you. And to be frank passing the majority of them was not a great hardship so even the competitive edge was no fun - and they just think that if you drive hard then you are a hooligan!
