Snetterton Evening 22 June

[JoeMarano]

Who's going?

The Civic Type R killing Polo Gti will be there! Well not my one but one the same colour and everything

Will be interesting to see if it's actually any good on a track. We shall see.

[JoeMarano]

Notice there's a lot of Clio's going. Anyone here?

Having come from a 172 will be interesting to see if there's much difference.

That said I'm guessing most will be track prepped...

[JoeMarano]

Just looked at the list and 15 places left with 59 so far.

To me that sounds like an awful lot of cars in a two and a half hour time frame?

Better be careful!

I'll be there in a Black / Blue Caterham. They'll be a friend of mine also in a caterham with academy stickers all over it.

It seems alot of cars but once on track its not that many really.

How many days have you done before ?

[JoeMarano]

At Snetterton? Only one other evening a year or so ago which was wet.

[Two speed]

I will be there but probably not in my 182 but my Clio 200 instead

[JoeMarano]

Standard? Would be nice to drive with similar power/weight cars.

I meant overall track experience. Sounds like you've done a short sessions before as well though.

You'll find it hard to get a track day with all cars similar power / weight ratio to your own. There's always a mix of ( Caterhams / MX5's / Clios / Saxos / M3's / Race Prepped )

Which is ideal really if everything was similar then it'd be all bunched up.

[JoeMarano]

In all I've done a few laps of Nurburgring
Brands Hatch X2
Bedford SW
Snetterton

and then this, so not a huge amount of experience but enough to not be completely freaked out!

I'll be there but only taking pictures, if you take a look at my Facebook page tomorrow most from tonight should be posted.

Awesome! I usually take videos when I go down there so nice to see it work the other way round

Let's hope the weather holds off

Was it a blue 200 cup?

[mark284811]

Joe, Which clio were you in ? I felt the track time went pretty well considering the amount of cars.

Most similar cars were bunched together which mean overtaking was easier.

[JoeMarano]

I was in the black Polo Gti mate.

Sadly I only got my very first two laps here

Yeah it was, went ok but it has a 'woolly' gearbox so progress is hampered sometimes.
Was a really good evening not to many reds and it stayed dry.

[JoeMarano]

Yeah I remember letting you past. Didn't want you going up the back of me when my brakes failed lol

Not as much difference in speed on the straights as I was expecting though is it modded in any way?

There's some videos taken from the Integra behind you here....

I was also there in my Clio. The weather was perfect and track etiquette was really good.
