Best I add my 2p's worth
Had an enjoyable day. nice and relaxed. My bro enjoyed his passenger laps with both Mike's and was smiling like a cheshire cat when he got of Mike Blackmores 25B
As was I when I had a ride round with him, wel set-up and very quick Impreza.....started me having silly thoughts about my dusty garage bound Impreza!!
Alos, cheers to Mr Hayward for a ride in the beast. I was muchos impressed wit the pure brute force of the thing, with the dog box and sequential shift. Also the brakes were very impressive and made mine feel like wood when I went out again!!
I now have lots to think about :roll:
My driving day was pretty smooth apart from being black flagged for my rear valance decising to try and revmove itself and then duly melt itself onto my exhaust, this was quickly removed by Chris from APT before I could take a more agricultural method of removal!
Had a good few laps chasing some cars. Was looking forward in the afternoon being out with Stu and Stu in there Bimmers but it didn't quite work out! Was nice to meet Bealo. Another top bloke from here! What I found in the main waas you could gain loads of time on people on the brakes.... alot of people were really coy with them, whether its for mechanical sympathy or just people own limits I'm not sure.
Again tho, it doesn't quite have the buzz for me that competition has....but has teh advantage of learning the car more and plying with different techniques etc.
My brother said on teh way home that was an expesive day for him, I then said why, it only cost him a tenner....but then he said we will be coming to the next one in a new car that he will be buying....oh dear, I think I've got him hooked!!!
