Brilliant day at Donington today!

Rained to start with then dryed out and the session went on until way past 4pm.

Probably at worst a dozen cars on track at once and many times during the day when there were maybe just 3-4 cars at a time

Mellow, I kept my eye out for your car but didn't see it? There was one monster dark cossie that turned up late and a couple of 911 Turbo's that went like rockets

7 hours of track time for 75 quid, bargain!

Ignoring insurance and two tanks of fuel of course

If you're lucky, Rob Mac will be there

I spoke to him on Saturday & he implied that he would be...


Edit to say that Rob Mac is one sh1* hot instructor btw not just some bloke who reckons he can drive

Open pit after the first half-hour and only a half-hour for lunch as well!

Rob Mac was about as well and was doing tuition.

Just stay away from the mad Russians in Evo's!

Barnaby, half day is normally just bit more than half the price (if you know what i mean)
but i didnt get there till 1.30 (got just over 2 hours on the track) had to finish early at 3.45 as i was getting really bad fuel surge comming out of the corners.
my car was the blue MY00 (with mikee plate on back), i was the dodgy lookin asian bloke.
which car was yours?

mikee

For anybody who is interested, they still have places available for all the December dates.

And I think you can pay on the day.

I'll be there this Sunday

Yer that was at Silverstone in what we call our summer

Had a nightmare that day, as had no grip, due to my front tyres having little to no tread, and hard suspension, running 2 degrees camber, so felt like driving on ice.

Another wet piccie, got another picture where the back end is very wayward somewhere



Got myself some wets, adjustible front arms, to get the front running parrell, and an extra few horses curtious of Mugen and Spoon.

Waiting on my N1 Spoon exhaust coming either fri or sat to get there thou.

Donington in the heavy rain is the only time I've ever spun off on a track day

Hi Barnaby,

I'll be there on Sunday too (probably following you round rather unsuccessfully and trying to put into practice what we learned at North Weald the other week!!).

Look forward to seeing you there.

Jon
