Oulton park today (1st of dec)

[gtikurt]

Was anyone off hear there today? was great that the rain held off...very lucky.

Also if anyone has any pics that would be great.

[NTEL]

I was there in the red TVR Tasmin racer. Had a spin first time out at the chicane (got a bit giddy on the exit) and went off roading once at lodge but managed to hold it. Interesting morning on Toyo R888s. Track dried out by mid morning and just got better and better. A really good day.

No photos unfortunately.

What were you driving?

[gtikurt]

I was in the blue Almera GTi, Didn't go on until the afternoon. Was my first track day..and it was much better than i expected.

Have you got a pic of your car?

[SLOWER]

There was a bloody fast red TVR griff blasting round today,

Yeah, I had a quick chat with him, he told me it was totally standard. It was to bloody quick in the corners to be standard.

Ahh, yeh you did pass me once or twice. Me and my dad were wondering what it was. as you passed. Sounded lovely.

This is what I was in...

[Combover]

I went to spectate today and I must say, there was some bloody fantastic machinery there!

Big to the bloke in the Rover SD1 Vitesse! Looked and sounded awesome! How did it get on on track?

[Alfatim]

ntel, I think I may have some red tvr paint on my nice silver Alfa front bumper.... nearly .. he he. Great Tasmin btw

60 mph on the grass eh? We recommend the tarmac as it has slightly more grip!

[Alfatim]

photos will be on www.trackphoto.co.uk in the next few days btw

[CHIEF]

Well my first trackday today - never actually drove but was lucky enough to be a passenger - i'm hooked. Its quite addictive isn't it?

Went out for a few laps in a Silver Subaru Impreza (Cheers Al) went off at Druids although just really slid onto the grass so was quite lucky really. later on Dai a.k.a. Supertouring took me out in his Clio Cup racecar - what can i say but fook me, totally scrambled my brain on how a fwd car can handle and brake, nothing and i mean nothing overtook us.
Never experienced grip like it

massive respect

cheers guys for a great day.

Now i'm hooked.

Who saw the coming together of the V6 Vectra and the Leon? that Vectra was a lucky bloke.

[NWMark]

I was there with my camera yesturday afternoon, never got everyone but im sure ill have grabbed maybe one or two, ill try and get some posted later.

I was out in my little yellow Fury in the morning I could only get a place for the AM session.
It went like stink once we got some dry track, was a bit hairy on the brakes in the wet on Toyo 888s & old 048R yokos first thing!
This is the first time we had it running proper and it's little 919cc engine was screaming round the revcounter - can't wait for the next one.
Great chatting to a few people to - loved that Ferrari engined Stratos.
Thanks to everyone who let us past!
It was my dads birthday so he even had a go and loved it.

OMG! Anybody get any pics of that? Was it a replica or the real deal?

Oulton Rocks btw. Could quite possibly be the best circuit in the uk. But then again Cadwell....
