Oulton Park today (15th July)

[screem]

Just got back from a fantastic day at Oulton Park and just wanted to say well done to BHPtrackdays for a very well organized day and gotta say that from what i experienced everybodies driving was impeccable and courteous.

No overinflated egos and trackday rules followed to the letter.

everybody i spoke to were really nice people.
This is what trackdays are all about.

[Combover]

Have to say, the standard of driving was high in general.

Was a fantastic day and i'll have a few good memories which is what it's all about.

A big thanks must go to Chassis33 and Sniff Petrol for allowing me to bug the st out of them all day!

Enjoyed that!

I couldn't do the track day myself this time due to work but came and saw the last couple of hours!

Here is a vid!!!

SCREEM, nice number plate.

Matt, it was nice to meet you mate. I was being talked to/shouted at by my coach when I saw you. Are you going to the British touring cars?

Anyone got and video/pics with the stty blue Mini going round?

[Flying Peach]

I also meant to say what brilliant organisation by BHP it was and to top that they refunded me with some money because I paid months ago and when they dropped the price to get the numbers up they thought it was unfair for me to pay the original price. Very honest I thought.

Actually I think the first one is that S2000, although if I was lapping that fast it would explain how I managed 6 mpg....

Ok, I'm afraid with that footage I found it hard to tell them apart. Seriously though, 6 mpg? thought that would be impossible on standard fuel injection - I manage about 13 mpg in the dry and that's with dirty great big jets on my carbs. I even got less than 20 mpg out of the diesel estate towing it there and back - good job I bike to work now to balance out my carbon footprint!

Yup great day. I had one of the best days ever today A huge story/thank you/picture post to come shortly. Pistonheads wont know whats hit

Used 20 gallons and did 120 miles on track. I was supprised too, but that's what it comes out as.

I would seriously be looking for a leak or get it check for overfuelling. What's the consumption like on the road?

[Combover]

Chuffing terrible, but as I don't use it that often it doesn't bother me.

I tried really hard to get decent mpg on my last trip to London and managed 33, so it's not always that bad.

It does pop and bang quite a bit for 1.8 though.

Did anyone find out why the day was stopped early?

Ok, went to get a few last laps in at 1650hrs and it was closed.

What engine are you running Screem? It sounded great when you overtook.

Cheers,

Its just the Factory standard 1.8 toyota engine supercharged with standard exhaust.

Track shut early, I think, because that S2000 made contact with the barrier. I saw it go off and hit the tyre wall at Knickerbrook.

Not badly damaged, but I think they thought it best to shut given there was only a few minutes remaining.
