I used to take 40L of fuel with me, in jerry cans, to trackdays. Now, MSV have limited spare fuel to 20 - 25L per garage.

I hope they, Magnatude, run these days next year as well. The car let me down ahead of the first event this year and I have a family do tomorrow.

Great event and even better to get to meet more TVR people and enjoy a chat and a track day with them smile

During a chat with Alex he revealed he is looking to expand a little next year with access to a few new circuits but with the same set up and ethos as per the Lotus events.

The more days like this one the merrier I say thumbup

Well I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 laps I did before my tyre issues...

Agree with above - a great event, atmosphere, etc. Looking forward to more driving next time!

Any other interesting cars on track?
It's a brill day or what smile
Great track, our cars are at home there, sad I missed it frown

Did you manage faster times this time M Poxon wink if you did I'm in trouble hehe
It was hot when we were there earlier this year, just thinking the track might have felt grippier this time round?
