Silverstone 30 May - Gold track - any PH folk going

[FlyingTrotter]

I'll be there with a blue Atom 300 - forecast is rain from 11am which isn't great for a sessioned day in an Atom - plenty of time to chat if it's a wash out !! Hope to see a few of you

I was there, was a great fun day, love the wet! Did see you have a nice spin in front of the new pit complex i am guessing the couple of inches of standing water had something to do with that! I hope the brown stain from the drivers seat washed out.

[FlyingTrotter]

Not me - must have been the other one with white panels - mine is blue with carbon aerofoils - managed to keep it pointing in the right direction but got just 20 mins of track time before the rain started - A048s are no fun with standing water as the car is far too light

What were you in that likes the wet ?

[sadlerj]

Ah, I did not realise there was 2 out there. I was in a Aston Vantage, she loves the wet, not as much as the GTR boys tho!

[gtdc]

The GTR boys have some serious electronics. In an Aston I guess you just have the connection between your foot and your sphincter?

Do we know if any of the Atom drivers drowned?

[FlyingTrotter]

I didn't drown but I got about 17 mins of track time before the rain started and it then rained until I was about 10 mins from home - what a day - I've just about dried out

And to make it worse it's been beautiful ever since !!

[gtdc]

I'd have squeezed you out if you'd asked.

Melindi

[FlyingTrotter]

Don't recal much difference between the weather across the sessions melindi - it's just a function of driving the car to the track on A048 s so no scope to do more than tootle round

I'll need to find a better approach so I can bring a set of wets - I understand it has been known to rain occassionally at SPA !!

[gtdc]

Not squeezed you out on the track - squeezed you out so you stopped dripping.

You know Track Club will store a set of wets for you and bring them to the track don't you?

Melindi

[FlyingTrotter]

A thought of pure genius Melindi - problem solved

[TuxMan]

The trouble is I don't like to get the car dirty in wet weather let along drive round track in it !!!! ......... Sorry I'll get my coat :-)

I was once in one of those second wife type 4 x4s. A client who shall remain nameless said "I'm not parking there, I'll get my tyres dirty"

Sounds like Angus, Melindi?
