Was a busy day with 95 cars booked on apparently. Although it didn't feel as busy as that on the day.

Did anyone else attend? Plenty of nice cars so had to be a few Pistonheaders..

Ended up being a great day weather wise and I don't remember there being 1 red flag.

Did anyone get any footage or proper photos?

I was in a Silver Renault Clio.

I missed the spin on the sighting laps. But to be fair it was very very slippery first thing, especially on semi slicks.

I think most of the cars mentioned are in my footage somewhere. Certainly remember the GTR flying past me in one clip and the green/orange? Caterham.

Had a look over the CSL, very very nice car! There was a guy called Steve (my friends dads friend) who had the CSL interior in his silver M3.

Here's a vid of me following Steve in his M3.

Here's one of me following one of the Cayman S, which seemed to be on the track non stop going very well.

And another of just a general session with plenty of other cars.

Oh I do remember seeing the A-Class driving by now actually. Didn't know it was an AMG one though!! Don't remember it sounding special.

Don't think he was out on track whilst I was out there though.

Thanks :-)

It's good to see my car from another angle.

I can remember that session too. Almost had a bit of a moment when the M3 going completely off line made me brake mid corner.

Do you have no more footage from after that video stops?

I'll check - I think I just did a cool down lap after that though (after you went past me again)
Send me the link if you upload it please smile

Was hoping to hear the noise of my car from your video but that lovely supercharger whine is a lot louder than expected.

Just checked - yeah just a short clip of you passing me then I start a cool down lap. Just uploading another video (Mac seems to be taking forever) with a clip of a silver Clio getting it a little wrong and diving up the wrong side of the cones, don't know if that was you or one of the other Clios. This video's a little more sedate, learning the track in the damp in the morning, but managed to get one of the Caymans having a sideways play with the blue 911 at the end of the day. Will post a link when it's finished processing...

Decent little bit of footage of the Cayman and 911 on that corner.

Would you mind uploading the little bit of me going past you? Not often you get to see external footage of your own car on track so would be good to see.

Not sure about the cones moment you mention. I cut the chicane a couple of times when I was on a cool down lap and there was a car on a hot lap coming up behind me fast. So could have been me, but if it was actually a moment then it would have been one of the other two silver Clios.
