Rockingham - Epic Day
Discussion
Thought I would start a new thread as the 'organisation' thread was getting a bit long.
F*ck Me...What an epic day...Bucket list well and truly ticket off.
Bob Sir....A Knighthood coming your way...well done Sir.
Everything has been absolutely perfect..Weather, Staff, track, food, photographer, instructors...
When me and George left there had been no issues (Apart from someone doing a quick 360 as we left).
Can't wait for the photographs...But I do know no matter how good they are they won't, can't, capture the atmosphere of today....
Truly EPIC......

I just drove back and forth through the tunnel to the pits all day with the windows open - that was worth the trip on its own
Got a free passenger ride which was good fun especially when the dealer went into the last S a little hot with the somewhat unforgiving looking concrete on the second apex looming large
If I was meant to pay something as a spectator please let me know

I'd just like to say what a brilliant day. Well done Bob. Organising stuff like this is only for the brave - no one has to do it, but those that do should be truly congratulated.
Can't wait for the pics to come through - another nice touch to the day.
And thanks to Lotto for his DBS advice!
Anyone got the number for kwikfit???

Now in the right place!
FAULTLESS. As Tony said Bob, you have done us proud. What a great day, a great bunch of people and great organisation by Rockingham. Only two flies in the ointment, 8.0mpg average for the day and a malicious rumour that Cockers drove my car, it was simply me in a different helmet trying a few 'alternative' lines. Accordingly my engine is not shagged, my gearbox is not shagged, my brakes are not shagged and my tyres remain in pristine condition, accordingly my car is not worth £30k less than it was this morning; by the way has anyone seen my stereo and sat nav? .Looking forward to the photos-hope there was film in the camera - thanks to Dave and Georgina for organising that too.
Aren't we fortunate?
Ps Is anyone else's neck aching?

Fantastic day. Many thanks to all that helped organise the day and to all at Rockingham.
I got to experience the true potential of my car (apart from using the turn 1 run off a few times ...... 'shhhhhhooooot I'm not gonna make it !!!!!!!)
So much more confidence after today.
Tyres and brake pads are now needed hehe!!!
