Silverstone GP 30th March - Goldtrack

[AndrewO]

Great day, managed to get on from about 1pm-ish

Just the one spin for me, club corner. If i'm a bit late on the brakes on that one the bumps bounce the car and it all goes horribly wrong.

Had a great day out Silverstone yesterday, 2nd ever track day and first time out in my new Aero. Having an instructor out in the car with you makes a fantastic difference!

'twas a good day. Nice to get back in the groove again. Nice mix of cars there too.

Thoroughly enjoyed another cracking Trackday.

Good mix - loved the DB5 but I didn't see it on track (if it went out)

Ted, I wanted to thank you before I left but you must've been out on track, so:

"Thanks for those sideways moments"

You lot made my car feel underpowered

Looked good fun, Cheeky orange one sneaked in at the end.

I was watchin the Porsche Fest from the pitwall @ 4:30.. you guys were pretty damn close..!
3 white GT2's in a row, an orange RS, green RS in there too.. great spectating..! and the noise.. oh yeah..!

Glenn.. I ended up in GP1, and was catchin a green RS at one point in the CS ... but i am guessing you had a guest driver at the time.. didn't get a chance to come and say hi as we were on the tarmac all day..! but will next time.

Was a good day, very nice selection of cars as always with Gold Track. Only thing was there was a lot of traffic in Group 1 through the morning, seemed to quieten down a lot in the afternoon sessions, just when my on-board camera ran out of battery! Here are the video's I made in the morning:

Nicely..

Not a bad day but felt quite rushed with the format on half and hour on half an hour off, maybe its the faff of getting into the caterham.

Was a good day although you porsche drivers don't like being overtaken do you! My caterham r300 couldn't keep up with you on the straights but ended up having to wait soooo many times whenever there was a kink in the road. (I could of sworn that was mentioned in the briefing that a quicker car is round that laps quicker but oh well!) Only real quick cars through the corners I saw being driven hard were the orange britcar beemer, 911 RSR white one, and the black one, and that was about it.

Will post some video footage later following the chain of 911's gt3's.

What session was that car in? Not one I recall seeing. I saw a beautiful GT3RS in green (again not on track). Now thats the car. Not a fan of the orange personally.

Photos were taken by my brother. On my site.
