Anyone along? Will be there, pootling round in my red Caterham (Union Jack smiley on the boot - easy to spot as you overtake me...)

A mate and I will be there in our Puma shed. Won't be breaking any lap times, but looking forward to it.

Perhaps you could slow down as you overtake us to make sure we clock the Union Jack biggrin

Excellent - seen a few "snaps" (or possibly professional photos...) on the FB group. Cracking looking thing - look forward to meeting you and it in the metal.

I was there, Orange Westfield with 1.6 inside sticker on the back. I had a great day and like the tighter track with the new corner.

I had a great day (first track day) and I'd consider doing another. I was in a black VX220. I followed you a couple of times and that is a tidy car. Can you share the specs for you car?

Had a huge amount of fun. Our first track day too. Some of those Westfields were unbelievably quick - spent a lot of time letting people past wink Our old banger did well considering.

Nice atmosphere and very well run. We will be doing another. thumbup

Thanks, I think that must have been the other half driving as I do not remember seeing you on track. She did ignore the stay out for no more than 10 to 15 minutes advice. 😀

It is a 2l Vauxhall C20XE on throttle bodies, set up to be easy to drive rather than out and out BHP.

Everything looked quite quick from my seat... Enjoyed following the black BM with a mate in the car, which was suitably lairy in the last hour. He came down for five laps at the end of the day and went round in a shirt (long sleeve of course) and tie...

That black BM was hilarious. He came out of the first chicane behind me on full opposite lock in my last session. Caught me coming out of the second chicane, howled past, and barrelled into the left hander with the back end moving around all over the place. Looked like he was having a blast. biggrin

Ordered 4 photos yesterday. There are some good ones there.

Thoroughly enjoyable day.
