Anyone from here is attendance. Great Gold Track day as usual, very relaxed and the rain stayed off - miraculously.

I was in the old 944, making relatively pedestrian progress, based on my modest ability.

Does anyone know what the red Mk Golf GTI has under his bonnet - he was in a completely different league.

Popped in to have a gander. You all looked to be having a lot of fun. Saw a black Golf cocking it's inside back leg for about 500yards down the back straight and through Surtees. Fantastic!!

I had a chat with the guy with the Golf he came over just before the open session.
The red one had a 2.0lt Turbo Audi engine producing around 380bhp and weighed if I remember correctly 980Kg with fully rose jointed suspension.it was pretty dam quick.
Good day and not to many red flags.

I was in Group 2 in the Blue Boxster S.

Aahh that goes some way to explaining it, but he can clearly drive as well. I don't think I've ever seen one car so dominant on a track against some pretty good cars

You were going well in the Boxster

Thanks, I think people underestimate how well a Boxster goes and handles.
