Had a great day
the weather was 'interesting'...
to be fair we were lucky
drizzle in the morning , with a drying line,
totally pissed it down during the lunch hour
started damp in the afternoon then brightened up and was dry
The whole day was very relaxed - Javelin did a great job - and the best ever burger van topped it off.
The circuit that was challenging, and would probably have suited the more nimble agile cars - god knows what was under the bonnet of the peugeot 106 but I've never seen one move that quick !
The change in surfaces made it interesting... going from a pretty grippy side road onto a pretty slippy runway trying to get the power down proved fun - lots of hand twirling to keep things tidy !
Biggest problem that occurred during the day was the large plastic corner markers were starting to shift around in the strengthening wind. At one point I was heading for an apex, when said apex moved by about 10 foot - in a tightening direction - again a little car correction was needed.
The overall track conditions were great - I've been on race circuits with more debris.
No stone chips, and no damage - just one tank of fuel
All in - a great day with some very nice people
Another one to add to the 'must do again' list
