I'll be about if I can work out where I stashed my new oil filters!

Did you make it?

What were you in?

Beautiful day, I'd been worried that it may have been called off but weather was perfect... Just a bit chilly and slippy in the morn!

Don't think there were any scrapes and very lucky to have such a quiet time on track. Everyone seemed to be having big fun!! smile

In the old Impreza Wagon.

First half hour was interesting coming into Riches! Watching the tyre tracks appear in the frost.

Yeah, it was pretty empty. Sadly, I think the Fiesta that caused one of the stops was a bit of a mess. I think it may have lost a ront wheel... not sure.

I done the fist one on Friday at snetterton, sounds similar weather with a bit of a delayed start but when sun came up was a good day

I've only just seen this thread, I was there on Sunday too, in the silver Puma.

It certainly was pretty slippery early on, which made it interesting. But overall it was a great day out, we were lucky with the weather.

There were quite a few red flags late in the day, the blue Fiesta looked a mess when it came back on the recovery truck, the front wheel was missing and the wing all dented up although it wasn't clear if the wheel came off before or after the impact.

That's a shame about the fiesta, I didn't know about that frown

Your scooby was going well, I was in a black Megane, saw you out a few times.

Someone else turned up in a wagon the same colour as yours but we couldn't persuade him to take it out unfortunately.

Thinking about going back on Feb 4.. it's so expensive tho - I spent over £150 just on fuel!

Sorry to hear that, where did it happen?

Was great seeing the puma's out together - looked a blast smile

I think that the incident with the Fiesta was around the back of the circuit, but I didn't see it myself until it was on the back of the recovery truck.

It was great fun in the Puma and nice to have another one around too.

Cool, I did clock you out there when I was driving my shed. I think we had a lap behind some traffic and then reasonably close by. I do love those Meganes.

I did wave give the wave at the owner when I was driving into the pit lane (yeah, we wave on the road too). Would've been good seeing it go around with the bike racks still on wink
