Thanks Stu.

I am glad you enjoyed it, you seemed to - particularly the apex cutting (ie the mud line) and the new more aggressive driving style

Loved every second of our laps - great fun :lol:

Was a good day out, I was in the 4 door 32 having some fun with my first use of slicks :P

I agree with the comments about some peoples' driving standards, I am very surprised no-one had a coming together with the way the black M3 was jumping inside people, it ruined what otherwise would have been a faultless day.

Hi Pete. I think Matt Woods got a pic of us side by side up the pit straight :thumb:

Nice to meet you Dynamix (and the other BP guy I spoke to I can't remember ... oops sorry about that)

Was a good day until my gearbox died

that would be Stuart

Not good that your gearbox died - do you think it was the stress of the slicks?

ps - great looking car btw :thumb:
