Not long home from another great day at N Weald! Pleased to meet you Dave who posts on here.

Did a 2 person day this time rather than an activity day. Learnt a lot! The activity type days with lots of people are good for practicing etc but the personal attention you get from Andy on the 2 (and presumably 4) person today really does teach you loads.

The traction control was well and truly switched off all day long. Some monster spins! And some pretty good slides held too. Although some more by luck than judgement

The A048s started the day well on the wear markers. And now you can still kind of see where the tread used to be

Car off for a service and new tyres on monday. Along with a couple of little upgrades as it seemed a shame not to. Going for pagid pads and some decent fluid along with the bilstein adjustable dampers you get with the supersport pack. The last photos of me at bedford showed a lot of lean in the bends and I find the ride on the wrong side of rock hard on the road, so hopefully this will be an improvement. Sports seats and harnesses ordered too, should be ready in another couple of weeks

Always love the way you can do these trackdays or airfields days in the lotus and then cruise 200 or so miles home on the motorway in reasonable comfort. I love my car!

Simon,

Good to meet you as well, what a cracking day, only slightly blunted for a 3 hour traffic jam on the M25

Hope the upgrades go well next week and that they fit that anti-spin device !! (only kidding)

Best wishes

Dave
