Looked great (I was the silver S4 saloon parked next to you in the garages).
Never ceases to amaze me, the sized of the GTR's tailpipes...

The demister/heater's been removed, and with no windows to open (much) the scoop and attached duct helps direct outside air to the windscreen, plus in the summer it'll be feckin hot inside! Air conditioning for the cheap!

Great day out, really enjoyed myself. Not too busy at all, by mid afternoon, loads of people had left, leaving an almost empty track with zero queues.

Budget track car fun at its finest. Maybe drift days would be more your thing? Not at all, there's sliding out of corners for a laugh like this and there's Drifting.... Drifting a mid engined car with an open diff with 170BHP and a handbrake that doesn't work isn't going to happen. It is planted in the dry and in the wet it's pretty good, I just prefer to have a play and make it more fun from my point of view.

Everyone who attended gets my thanks.
Given the damp conditions at the start my main fear was constant stoppages. Organisers nearly always cop the blame for red flags (a little unfair considering it's not the organisers that go off and get beached) but everyone heeded the briefing and we got off very lightly.
Thanks to all that supported the event for their part in making it a great day out.
