It will take Tony a few days to get them all up.

What an absolutely fantastic day and an awesome track!

I definitely improved as the day went on and probably did some of the best driving I'd ever done! smile

The car did absolutely fantastically, and, if my maths is correct, assuming I averaged 7,000 RPM across the entire day with the 150 miles driving I did, each of my two rotars span 345,000 times! With the crank spinning 1.3 million times! driving

Unfortunately, yesterday in Burger King car park some numpty drove into the back of me! frown

Awesome fun, even in the wet but care/skills needed.
(I'm not driving in the vid, in the passenger seat!)

Damp start and drying out is how it looks at the moment.

Me too. BMW Car Club?

Should have me E30 M3 Sport Evo there.

Forecast is showing showers ovenight dying out by early morning, but cold all day, so the circuit is likely to remain damp I feel.

Yep, BMWCC.
I think the dry tyres won't be coming out this time.
Will be there in my E36 M3

Well yesterday went well, it was wet as expected but managed a dry line as the afternoon went on, very good behaviour from the MazdaonTrack drivers and our guys from Trackaction and only a couple of reds flags all day I think cool





Looks like a similar wet start for the BMW day tomorrow scratchchin
