Pembrey Trackday (21.06.14) - Anyone coming?

[framerateuk]

Had a great fun at the Pembrey trackday at the end of last year (despite the pouring rain!). Anyone coming to the one on the 21st of this month?

I'll be there in my Caterham - hoping for good weather!

Never knew about this - booking now

Did the one last Spetember via Motrosport Events and was a great day.

This is very tempting. Will watch the weather...

The Chimp is crap in the wet.

Good stuff effkay.

You might as well Wyn, my 7 is rubbish in the wet as we saw last time!

Anyone else coming along at the last minute?

Getting my new set of track tyres fitted tomorrow.

Come and say hello on the day!

[logix42p]

Do they allow people to turn up and watch? Or only people that are booked for the track?

[pwd95]

Yes, you can turn up & watch no prob.

Can't make this now anyway. Fingers crossed for September.

I'll pop along to watch....

Had a good day! Lots of red flags though (especially in the morning).

Lots of people coming off at the Honda Curve. I thought they might have taken the hint after the 2nd spin there! Lots of potential to go wrong there if you enter too fast...

Ended up taking the whole Dibeni/Esses section in 4th (with a lift at Dibeni and a touch of brake at Esses) by the end of the day. Brand new tyres not looking so good around the edges anymore - big improvement from my last time there.

Who else went off apart from the blue golf that was parked next to me in the paddock?

I was enjoying the day til my power steering pump failed

Saw a couple of cars towed back (A white coupe - can't remember what, the blue golf). Another car hit the tyre wall after Dibeni (backwards!), but I think he got away without any damange - that might have been the RX7. Most times the red flat went up the ambulance ended up being parked over at the Honda curve along with the tow truck. I think most cars got away without damage, but I guess the corner caught a few people out.

Friend (lady driver) was there in blue S1 Elise.
