PH Track Day Pics

Here's some photos from the first PH Track Day of the year...

---

Last week PistonHeads held a track day at Brands Hatch. It was a fantastic afternoon and luckily the rain held off. Thanks to all those who came along - hopefully you can make it to the next one at Snetterton on the May 15.

Here's some pics of Brands Hatch...

A real mix of machinery there! Lotus Carlton and Landy Defender in the same pit lane...

Looks like a top day out was had by all.

Cool pics , especialy the gulf caterham , that's my old car ! looks awesome

It was a good evening. Friendly punters and MSV staff plus considerate driving. Well recomended.

PS the snot green caterham is much nicer (but I am biased) and the gulf is my mates. Rich- I am sure he would be interested to speak to you.

It was my first time on track (Black Lotus Elise) and I had thoroughly great time. After initial apprehension, I was impressed by the standard of driving and the running of the event. No mishaps apart from a 70-80mph spin exiting Paddock Hill bend, but thankfully the drivers behind (one of whom was Garlic in the Z4 Coupe)managed to avoid me.

I'll definitely be back for more.

Lexus IS? In terms of variant or mod's no idea I'm afraid!

[Oli S]

It was an IS, but had these tasty looking brakes and lots of stickers - but otherwise looked standard. Hmmm...

Makes me want to get the wheels out for some laps- but the car is at the garage without a working trans and a flat.

Minus the odd TVR/Pug/Renault, that looks like a track day here in the states... but you guys have far better facilities. Far better.

Can anybody who was there tell us what the rules of behaviour are in terms of ensuring everybody's car remains car-shaped?

Thanks

Usual Trackday rules apply. Overtake on the left only, on the straights by invitation of the the car infront (by means of a RH signal, a move over to the right and an slight lift off of power).
