Anyone else make it from here?
Was a beautiful daysmile
I had a lot of fun but track was busy!
Seemed like there was a greater percentage of the "I dont use my mirrors and my car's faster than yours so I will hold you up on the corners and pull away on the straights" .. Also a lot of unnecessary accidents..

anyone else have any thoughts?

I too was there in my Fiesta. I also went with a few friends who had mk5 Fiestas running Puma Engines, a Clio 182, and a bug eye Scooby. What were you driving?

Agreed, a lot of silly accidents, quite a few of which seemed to happen only a couple of cars in front of me!

-saw a few fiestas - which one was yours? .. looked to be some well sorted ones..

I was in an M3.. Brands is my local track but it was my first time in the M, really pleased with how it coped (helped massively by the conditions).

I watched in my rear view mirror the mint lookiong yellow porsche spin and hit the wall frown - hope the driver was ok.. damage only looked light..

The elder Mk5's were some friends of mine, all of whom have exactly the same setup (i.e. Mk5 Zetec-S, using Puma running gear). I think there were 3 in total;



Mine was the Mk7 Fiesta Zetec-S Metal;



Were you in the Black E46 by any chance? If so, I think my friend in the Blue Subaru was a little upset, that was the only car that passed him all day hehe (The one in the pic with the blue Mk5 Fiesta)

I saw the 968 from watching up by the commentary box, such a shame, it looked to be a very nicely sorted car frown There were so many little spins, but the one that confused me was the Z3 that hit the outside wall quite hard coming out of Druids, then continued to drive back to the pits, then drive out of the circuit eek I hope he had a trailer or similar, the car was in no fit state to drive back home!

Only just seen this!

yeah was pretty busy! but fun in the wet/damp!

I was in the Grey / black Uno Turbo

http://www.msvtphotography.com/?Action=VF&id=9...

That yellow Porsche was right in front of me exiting Druids when he span!

I don't think he wanted to be passed by a Fiat Uno!

Only my second track day, but proper hooked, adding coilovers before the next one and had the car weighed today and corner weights calculated to help set it up properly.
