Yes it was bloody wet! -But so much fun!!
Harry you forgot to mention the fact that your drivers side wiper was unafective over 100mph and spat its self off at one point, Luckly it got pinned down by the wiper arm so we could re-attach it back in the pits.
You drove well all day mate:thumbs:
I will up load some of my crappy camera phone pictures (including the bent aston) later when ive a bit more time.

Oh yeah I forgot about the wiper
Bet your crappy photos are better than my really crappy video

Cheers TK it was a great day, we laughed off the wiper problems what with one coming adrift (drivers side) and low visibility above 100mph we probably looked crazy trying to find a gap in the waterfall flowing up the screen, focuses the mind though. Other than the wiper everything went really well with car and drivers

Are we seeing you on track soon?

Theyre good pictures Russ, I had forgotten about the Noble and e-type and you have to feel for the owner of the Aston and that Smart is going to give me bad dreams for months

Cheers Pablo, sorry about the video I made the mistake of buying a cheapie it was OK on the road but the image quality is so bad you really cant see anything outside of the car I am trying to clean it up but I wont hold my breath

Thanks for the report Harry.
I drove the GP circuit with Gold track a few years ago and forgot about their policy of 'in at the deep end' with no sighting laps. A bit bizarre really as Mr Lockie has raced for so many years, you'd have thought he would have appreciated the significance of getting settled in to the event, the car and the situation; let alone which way the sodding track goes!!
Some nice cars on the day.......the first picture of all of those Boxsters gathered together was lovely. That is one real world car that I would love to own, having been around Snett at very high speed in a bog standard 2.5. Incredibly capable cars. Race spec ones must be a bit special
