Just got back.

Had a very good day - was very busy - about 70+ peeps driving. Bit of hanging around whilst we waited for our turn - got better as the day wore on.

Very good track - prolly the most twisty turny uppy downy track in the country :lol: Very techinical, very narrow and the tyre walls are like next to the track in some places :!: Some of the slopes are nose bleed inducing :lol:

Just a tad slip in the morning :roll: they had blow leaves off the part of the track that goes thru woodland - it was fecking lethal til after lunch.

Lot of top weaponary out - Pugs, Golfs, Radical, Porsche 944's (1 supercharged - sounded like a jet!) 911T etc, BMW M3's, Alpina, M5 Saloon racer, MGF trophy, Saxo stock 750 racer ( jeez that bloke knew how to drive - made us look a bit silly thru the corners)MK1 Escort, Fiat Uno T, Lotus Cortina, Westies Tigers Caterhams, Jag XJS racer, AC cobra,
Ford Capri's - (Cossy engine inside :roll: )Astra GTE racers, Alfa Romeo 155, Mini, VX 220 ( top driver - we think an instructor) Toyota Starlet ( went like fcuk til his hose burst and smothered my windscreen in sticky wet shite) and lots more.

Several offs - the worst of which was the Alfa which was comprehensively wrecked - I think the roof wasnt bent but all the other panels were. We were told it was his wife's car - so guess whose not getting any nookey for the next year - oh dear :(

We'll draw a veil over MC's little trip into a cul-de-sac off 1 corner - i think he was taken by the wonderful scenery and decided to pull off for a bit to admire it :lol:

Only downer for me was when I discovered that my brand new slicks had been rubbing against my springs which had a worn a groove in the inside walls.

Will never forget that track mate, you need climbing gear to get down to the pits :lol: especially bad when you try and carry a set of tyres down!

Has to be one of the best tracks, especially suited to a nova, nice and twisty. Never had chance to go round it myself though! Was allways to busy looking after other peoples cars.

How much was the day if you dont mind me asking. Wouldnt mind doing the track early next year.

I actually realised that I was harrassing the guy in the 4.2 triumph too much and thought I'd give the marshalls a closer look at CP's paint job. It was a controlled exit!

My favourites were the 5 series Alpina, and the Mk1 GTi that was V.fast.

One of the better circuits in the country.
