My first experience of driving was there 30 years ago :o

Plus did a couple of PTT sessions at the event last year to get a feel for it before watching a red wagon on fire around luffield from the grandstand :D

Did you manage to take copse at any decent speed in the PTT?

Didnt have any traffic issues in the PTT despite my worst fears that it would be mayhem. I must admit to having not gone round there at full speed but was fairly close to it. A lot has changed on the car since then.

I am a bit gutted that we only get 10 minutes warm up though ... what the **** is that all about?

Oh yeah, just noticed that. Think we only had 10 minutes last year too.

Copse flat out takes some balls, especially once you have locked up into it before. Get that corner wrong and it can all too easily be "hello concrete"

Apologies - bit of a hijack

Has anyone got a spare pit pass for Sunday?
I have a friend coming over from Australia, and would love for him to be able to join us in the pits. Many Thanks in advance.

What a weekend of highs and lows !

Family Graham set off for sunny Northants to The Home of Motor Racing on Saturday afternoon having packed the cars up with all the necessary luxuries for the luxury pit garage we had and some glad rags for a night out in Northampton with a load of the guys.

We had booked into Holiday Inn Express for a bargain of
