Donington 30/3

[g40steve]

Anyone else booked on this ?

[graeme4130]

There's a handful of us from RS246.com heading over in Audi's for a day of understeer

[g40steve]

We're in MX5's

[graeme4130]

Looking at the weather forecast, it's going to be a quattro type of day

[FlyingTrotter]

Weather is different every time I check the BBC App - if it could be relied on I would fancy popping along but 2 hours in an Atom in the rain on the M1 is not the greatest way to start the day

Hi Steve, yep, I'm working on that one

[g40steve]

Hi Stv jump in & let me know what you think to the new setup

now that made me smile

[graeme4130]

weather can't make its mind up

[g40steve]

Yes, Monday now looks fine.
Not bothered either way

[g40steve]

Today is shocking outside

[Steve H]

I thought you weren't bothered

I was racing there yesterday and it was wet and dry, popped over this morning and it was throwing it down.

[g40steve]

Did you enjoy yourself today Graeme, we got lucky weather wise

[graeme4130]

Was a good day, and we ended up really lucky with the weather until about 15:30
Good to meet some new faces today
I killed off my existing Pzeros though

[g40steve]

Best excuse for wearing the tyres down

At least it was only the tyres. My mate took out the rear pads on his M5. I guess traction control constantly trying to control 720ps by braking the rear wheels isn't going to make for a long pad life

It was a fun day, and nice to be back at Donnington for the first time in a year or so

There were some fast race cars there too, which made for an interesting mix on the track

Not that I was timing (of course), but I was going round in 1:22** when I watched back the giro footage and I heard the Black BMW Compact race car was doing 1:15's

Those tyres look pretty good to me, they do not look like they have been leaned on
