What a day!!

Like others, i was expecting it to be a nightmare today with 100 cars there but apart from the signing on and noise test it seemed to be really quite organised!

In my opinion the standard of driving was quite reasonable for the conditions with only a couple of exceptions and not too many red flags either.

Was great to be on track with alot of you today - in particular Bealo - I followed you for numerous laps (mainly due to you getting stuck in traffic and me catching up) and learnt sooo much in that short space of time. I liked the way you bullied the silver exige out of our way too as she just wouldn't move over!

Tomcat, TK, Andrea and Sideways fletch also seemed to be going very well! Thats about every car i recognised!

Great day, although i left about 3pm as i'd done a few too many laps and used faaar more petrol than i budgeted for! lol!
James is looking for the next trackday...

i had a very good day today the car went well in the damp and then in the dry, i was pleased that the guys i gave pax laps to enjoyed themselves ;)

The day was run very well i thought for the number of cars ,a couple of things which i noticed as this was my first focused events trackday;

a) novices had a yellow sticker with black cross on the rear of the car enabling you to identify them.

b) overtaking was by consent only( i know every briefing states this) but for some reason today it was adhered on track rather than left in the briefing room .

c) i need better brakes now:driving:

cheers guys i'm bloody knackered.

That will be a big oops from both of you then (Especially yours Tomcat...)

Was an excellent day, ta to Fezza for the Pax Laps, didn't get out there as much as I probably could have but I was too busy taking pics and talking.

I'll be sorting through my photos sometime today and they will be posted up soon.
