Snetterton Saturday 3 November with Opentrack - Who's going?

[_Neal_]

I'll be there with a mate (Harry Flashman from here) either in the Caterham 7 we own or (in the event of very poor weather) my Clio 172. Anyone else coming along?

That's a real shame, you passed me in the morning and were clearly going well. Are you going to drop a new engine in or try and repair?

A good day all round. Driving standards really good all day, with the exception of one muppet in a Mini and a stock hatch with a novice cross who nearly rear ended me trying to overtake into Oggies under a red flag.

Absolutely, that is a pain for you, car seemed to be running really well.

We had a really good day as well, first time at Snetterton - excellent circuit and the Caterham was great, and far better than me! I was really glad I went out in the wet a few times too, really helped me work on smoothness and to get to grips with the car at sensible speeds. I was pleasantly surprised at how grippy R888s are in the damp.

As you say, Carnage, I thought driving standards were very high all day. Marshalls and other circuit staff were really professional and friendly, and I thought Opentrack were great, with things like free hot drinks and nice snacks an excellent touch. I'd definitely use them again.

Were you in the yellow 968 CS? Very nice piece of kit.

Great day for sure , a few idiots around the blue n yellow mini overtaking on the inside of bends if a novice had been there it would have ended in tears.
some nice cars there as well

I'm not ashamed to admit to lusting after your MG chormy, looking and sounding stunning

Couldn't agree more about the MGC. Lovely.

Your spin was right in front of me - kept me on my toes nicely

Oops, sorry! Dicking about seeing how well it would slide. Too well!

No need to apologise, that corner was damn slippy!
