Morning gents

Anyone going? I'll be there in my 306 along with a stage 2 Focus ST and a Leon Cupra R, should be a hoot!

Cheers

Providing I pass the noise test, I'll be in an E92 M3.

I'm going with 2 E46 M3s, and there are another 2 E46 M3s from another forum going.

Yep and buzzing, cant remember the last time I got on track.

Never done SEN circuit before, hope its warm enough for cups.

[Chr1sch]

Awesome, cant wait! Weather is changing by the hour at the moment, so fingers crossed it's ok, that said i was there in October in the pouring rain and it was great fun.

Noise wise you are better off on the SEN, there is only one sound meter for driveby anyway...

I've only ever done the GT circuit so i'm intrigued to see what its like given that it includes most of the better corners from the bigger circuit anyway...

Had a brilliant day, managed 1 dryish/greasy session then when the rain fell the car had superb grip.

And I think one red flag all day.

This is probably you then:

[Chr1sch]

Haha yes indeed! What a great pic!!

Hope I didn't get in anyone's way/upset anyone...

Had an awesome day, wet weather was actually a great test and throughly enjoyed it! The rsr's held up well throughout although temps were a bit high in the morning.

The silver m3 was incredibly quick in the wet, were you running wets?!

I had 12 epic laps desperately trying to cling onto the black m3 with yellow wheels in the pouring rain, best driving I've done on track and clearly he was struggling for grip even more than me! (I've got a great vid I'll share once it's uploaded)

Sorry gents, should have come and said hello, great driving throughout the day :-)

[billyboysm3]

Hi Chris,

You didn't hold anyone up, plus its just for fun.

In the wet I was using uniroyal rainsport, first time I have ever used them. They gripped really well, Id say better than a set of new goodyear eagle F1.

Pictures are up and look great.

[Chr1sch]

Ah good good, had an epic day, pics are great aren't they!

I'm amazed they weren't 'wets' in a track sense you had some serious pace! What else have you done to it?

[billyboysm3]

All OEM bar stripping it out, intrax suspension, AP brakes, rear wing, front splitter, bonnet and lots of tuition

[Chr1sch]

Fair do's Im impressed!

It was my best pic from the day and totally by chance as I was just getting ready to take some shots of my fellow MX5 Mk1's when you came into frame at one hell of a pace and I thought 'this could be interesting'. Then you went into the corner on 3 wheels, which was nice.

Cracking day, always good to have a variety of weather conditions, and I thought the driving standards & etiquette overall was a very high standard. The first one I've been to where I'm not constantly watching out for at least 2 or 3 complete idiots.

[Chr1sch]

Yep totally agree on standards of driving although the pace of the s3 caught me out, absolutely flying! (There's an amazing pic of it with glowing discs)

Thanks again for the pic, love it :-)
