Thanks to Fiona Easterby for the video

That wasn't my GTR who took you on the chicane - but I know who it was!

Anyone on here take a ride in my GTR - reg started DA59. I was there all Saturday and Sunday to lunchtime.

I think my mechanic was - looks like Jasper Carrot (sorry Jamie!).

He just came into my office with a bill and he was raving about having been in a GTR chasing an SLS and something else round the track.

The SLS was mega quick, I reckon that was one of the fastest cars of the weekend, it seemed to pull like a freight train!

I was lucky enough to be out on track with it at the same time for a while:

Thanks David,

It was more than a little cheeky but at least when he did it to me again I was ready for him.......

The SLS and myself had a number of "playful" laps - lets just say we kept each other honest.

He was one of the few with big bhp that actually wasn't shy in using all of it which was what made him look fast.

You ran out on the straight but had him in the corners that is pretty plain to see! Great videos!

I also had many 'playful' laps with Piers in the SLS, quick car, quick driver

Nice of you to take photos of all the cars I passed....

Getting a close-up on Chris Evan's La Ferrari made the day, and as last year he was really laid back about folks getting in, touching, taking photos etc.

Really??

My estimated costs:

Fuel £175
Brake pads RS29 all round - 25% wear £200
Tyre wear - 10% wear £120

So thats almost £500 without trying!!

I was doing Sporting Bears rides and on returning from one of the rides there was a Ferrai in front blocking the way at the last marshall's post... now I realise, that odd looking rear end was Chris Evans... if only I'd known...
If anyone has any photos or video footage of the Sporting Bears it would be much appreciated if I could get a link or two... ;o)

Concur. I went through around 75% of my spare pads (my RS29 were too worn and spares did not arrive in time) I also munched through my PZeros @£230 per corner. Fuel was around £150 for me excluding travel to and from. But I don't even care as it was for a cracking cause and would have happily done it all week!! If each driver covered costs of around £400 and there were 60 drivers than that's £24,000 - not bad going (obviously that's excluding any Ferrari and Maserati mating damage )

^^^WOT E SED^^^

Fuel, including the trip there and back, £160
Brake pads, negligible, the Atom is good like that.
About 25% of the rear tyres and 10% of the fronts, so £130
B&B for two nights, £120

[V1DL3R]

Just wanted to say it was a pleasure to be overtaken by your atom. That thing is immense!

Not sure I want to put numbers to it
40% of a set of Pirellis
20% wear of disks/ pads
270ltrs of fuel inc travel there and back for both days

Good video. Should be "paid", not "payed".

How many trips out though? Up and back in a day was £120 on fuel. £12 entry and £190 for 3 trips on track. Didn't get to pick my cars either. Not that any were bad.
