Discussion
Yes Sean,
'Harry' is my slightly tame Astra Saloon (ahem! - Belmont) (www.teamdangerous.com)
I posted a glib reply to your thread...... but that's what you have to expect from me!
See you there.
Rob.

......If it rains, you can improve on your wet weather technique - and that's where the skill is.
If you look at proper race test days, the amount of drivers/teams that cancel because it rains.... when they could be honing their wet set-ups and wet driving skills.
Let's face it, how often does it rain on this sceptred isle of ours?....

Now you're telling them the tricks of the trade for nothing!!! Don't tell everyone, they'll be doing rain dances to get their money's worth!
As for using my astra - well it's a case of needing a day to shake it down before 4th Nov, and this was the best venue and date available. I'll probably be "fully shaken" by mid-morning, all being well. Of you'll find me laying under it teaching onlookers new phrases or sayings probably unrelated to motor vehicles, probably more like questioning it's parentage.

......Hope I didn't make too much noise - I think you were in the same garage as me (12a/b/c)
Had an interesting day. Very pleasant atmosphere. Those that came to see me and say hello, well it' nice to see you all too.
I found problems with my car that have eluded me for ages and ages, and can now go forward into next season with them fixed (I hope!)

Wasn't expecting to drive, was keeping a mate company in the black GT2, but my curiosity got the better of me and had to take the hairdresser TTC2 out in the afternoon just to see if it was any better than the old one (which it was) but still understeering A LOT !! Was a good day though...
It was an enjoyable day, if a bit busy with a fair few closures!!
beautiful weather though, I was there in a black mk2 Golf if anyone has any pics or videos.
It was the first time i've done Silverstone, it's and awesome track and didnt disappoint, also some incredible cars out there yesterday!

i was there in the red 964. fun day despite the closures all morning. the little car's not bad for 15yrs old...
Yes, it was a nippy little thing, came past me a couple of times, cornered more like a go cart
i remember it and the couple of fiestas being wrung out pretty effectively too.
Great day, saw lots of people with video cameras, dont be afraid to post them!!!
Great track, the most technical track Ive ever done with one corner very much affecting your positioning for the next, and I was really struggling to find front end grip on some of the longer corners with front wheel drive (particularly the last one, went on forever
!) Its defo a big power RWD circuit 
, but fun nonetheless.
The ute really had some go!
