This sums up Palmersport perfectly. No rev limits, no limits of any kind really. Lots of being told off for not going hard enough and lots of congrats when you spin off. It's the daddy - accept no imitations.

Great day out although I went on a corporate day. The instructors were excellent and push you all day.

Bedford is extremely forgiving being so flat so very little to hit.

Shall do. I'll be in the rather loud E92 M3 that's in need of a clean.

Weather forecast looks great at the moment, let's hope it stays that way.

Really hoping for it to be dry!

Very looking forward to seeing how the M4 is. It will be good for you comparing to the M3 I guess!

One more for this coming Saturday. I've had it booked since December and I can't believe the day is actually here and the weather is looking great so far. Don't think there has ever been something I've been more excited about.

I will be there in a big blue campervan. I am not kidding.

Could not have hoped for more from the weather!

The M4 is a beast. Hard to believe it's a road can considering what it can do.

felt very heavy after driving caterhams though - I may have had a little detour through a field in it....

We sure were lucky with the weather!

I really didn't think much of the M4. What's the point in APs if you're going to fit tyres with absolutely no grip?! The engine felt good, didn't sound too bad either. It was very disappointing not to be able to have the TC off though, it was so intrusive. I actually felt like I did pretty poorly, but came first somehow.

It was my first time in a Caterham, they certainly didn't disappoint. The lack of rear traction was surprising, as was how easy they are to drift, I thought they'd be a little more tricky on the limit.

Apologies for not saying hi to any fellow PHers, I completely forgot about this thread until I got home.

They left TC on for you? It was most definitely off for me. I was drifting all over the shop! It was a handful!

MDM 1 for me, it'd only allow a small amount of slip. Everyone in our group had the same.

Almost certain mine was off. It would account for my ploughing experience hehe

Which group were you in?

I did notice one of them looked like it'd been on an excursion off the track!

Team Vettel for me. You?
