Hi all, had my first taster track session at Snetterton today, wow! I will definately do it again! Just wondered if anyone took any pics today? I was driving an Impreza WRX, probably badly...

Can't help you out with the pictures mate, but I was another first timer there today as well! Was a fantastic day and glad the weather held out as well!

I was in the blue MG ZR by the way, but I don't think I was out with you...is yours the white wagon?

Thanks man, but which one? I managed to drop it twice...

Once through Oggies; where I missed a gear on the downshift, went in all muddled up and ended up on the grass, then the last session of the day where confidence exceeded grip/ ability and locked up coming into Murrays and ended up sliding toward the barrier backwards at 50odd

Just carried far to much speed through Coram and the back went light and took me round...

Took that as a sign and called it a day after that!

Mine was the blue new age WRX. The MG looked good (and sounded good) stripped out, anything done engine wise? Thinking about doing an evening session next, under 20mins just not long enough, but £25 well spent. A mate was in a black Audi A3T holding up people at the back...

Thanks bud, it was the first time I've ever taken it out, so it surprised me a hell of a lot! Engine wise, it's just a standard K-Series with a Reverie carbon airbox and a full exhaust system, lack of power was frustrating on the straights...especially as about three/ four people completely ignored the move over for faster car rule

It's fully addictive though, been looking at dates for the next one already!
