Great write up Stu - Thanks

(and I managed to read every word with no boredom)
I gutted that I could not make this trip, I am now devistated! I must find the time and money to sort my car for the next one
Congrats on the great times achieved guys (Duncan must try harder :lol:) Sorry to hear about people having trouble, I know how much Ginola was looking forward to the track time when I saw him last week.
