Yep me!
What were you driving matey.
I was the rubbish driver in the T25, it was my first time doing this sort of thing, and I absolutely loved it!
I got much better as the day wore on though

I was driving my blue WRX bugeye, with no spoiler. I also had a good time - nice atmosphere, and all the drivers behaving themselves.
I found the surface a bit odd though. Very hard on the tyres, and differing levels of grip through the corners.
What were you getting at the end of the straight - I was seeing 140mph. In my mates Cerbera we had 165!
What colour was your car? Wondering whether I can remember it?

Saw your car though, you were going for it.
Why no spoiler?
When I finally got brave (and didn't brake miles too early at the end of the long straight) I got upto 175mph on the clock (but it was actually 161mph on the GPS)
The one thing I really learned on Saturday, was that my car is astonishing and I'm not very good (yet!)

Strewth 175mph! Those type 25's can fly (where better to find out - RAF base!)
No spoiler as it's a JDM WRX - none fitted as standard.
You're right, the cars are great - very capable and very forgiving, as long as you keep your foot down!
All you need is a little practice and you could be as ragged and out of control as me!
Just a thought, but if you are going to do it again, I would strongly suggest a day at Bedford Autodrome - great circuit and loads of run off. Been there quite a few times and it's brilliant.
