For those amounts they must be some kind of series cars so probably all modified, positive thing is usually they are all decent drivers. I do find weekday events have much less idiots (that said there are 10 BMW's)

Will be some interesting tussles with the RX8's+VX220's

Hi.
Most of the cars on the list are better at going round corners, S has a poor back end when it comes to hard racing on a track.

I have been on reserve lists a few times and always got on the track, for a full day the afternoon session always has quite a few drop outs, so worth going.

Managed 150-miles on track at around 13.9mpg.

Great day, great weather, some good chats. Wanted to chat too more of you guys but was caught up in getting on the track.

Tamy was great all day - tyres took a beating!

Got home with no dramas.

Roll on the next day (Oulton Park in November for me).

Post some photos tomorrow.

I have to agree, a great day with great company.

Car ran faultlessly all day but my tyres really are shot now.
