I did! As you roared past down the straight....Car looked good. Shame about the brakes.
Cheers mate! Had another guy come up to me in the pits and said it sounded epic. Unfortunately it never quite pics up right on video..

I'll be uploading my videos to YouTube over the weekend.

No one spot me? I had my PH smiley on the back and everything!

Excellent day, loved it - until I cooked my brakes and had to limp home at 3pm.
I was the guy in the black sw20, also apologies for anyone who I span infront of. Twas the first time i've driven on a damp track, realy wished i'd booked some instruction. I assumed that it would be dry because all the surrounding roads were, doh!

Ahhh the man with the Advans! Yeah your car looked a handful mate... I bet those tyres werent helping you much though.

I've got a trackday at Donnington on Saturday in the DC5, it has Toyo Proxes T1R on it too - hope it's dry!

It wasnt too bad once I had some passenger laps with the guy in the silver mr2 and the track dried out a bit.

Although the next thing on my shopping list is a set of AD08Rs. I'm assuming a DC5 is a bit more predictable handling wise than my car though!

I was on the A048s at Brands and they were brilliant. Tbh I'd consider the Federal RSR over the AD08r if you do, quite a bit cheaper and negligible performance! (I run RSRs on my road wheels and did the ring on them)

Integras can be pretty unpredictable too, when I get my video up I'll post in on here. I had a big slide down paddock hill on my first session hehe

Did you film any of your laps?

Doubtful! I think I just moved over and let you get on with it, apologies if it was though. I was the only Black MX5 about so we'll soon know....
