Thruxton 14th August

[drakart]

Anyone else from here going?

[T4RRR]

Yup, will be in Garage 10 to have a bit of fun in my putrid green "boring" family saloon - pop over and say hi!

[drakart]

Will do. I'm in garage 11 - driving a mate's silver MX5.

Popped down today as Thruxton is local to me.
Here are some of my pics.

Considering the forecast thought we were very lucky with the weather.

Only my second visit to this great circuit, really enjoyed it again today.[driving yellow seat]

As ever, a great Gold Track day with "the right crowd and no crowding" !

Regards to all participants, and the GT Team.

Great day. Even the spot of rain was a fun experience.
Well organised by Goldtrack and a nice atmosphere about the place I thought.

Saw a few of you guys going past me, I'll look over my video footage to see if you are in it and post it up if no one objects.

Was the Yellow Seat modified? Seemed to corner so flat. Maybe I need uprated springs.

Bit of video from the day (FF to 50 secs for track action). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOzmSzIYUd4#t=52 Slight moment at 3:21 when it didn't want to turn in to Goodwood/Village! Had no choice but to get it sideways to stop us running on to the grass and having a big one... Looks like the damping couldn't cope with that little bump. I really enjoyed taking the 911 Turbo out a bit later on for a quick run out.

Good save!

Thruxton is superb. I went with Goldtrack in April; it was my first time there and I had a brilliant time. All about high speed turns and none of those mickey mouse hairpins; I loved it.

Yes, I have uprated suspension etc. to basically stiffen it up quite a bit more than when it was standard. Doesn't like any bumps in the road but pays dividends when on the track.
