Hi All,

Anyone heading down to Le Mans next weekend for the Circuit Days Track Day ?

If so, see you there !

My brother and I are going down. We both have Caterham 7's. I was there a few years ago and it's a great track for a 7, in contrast to the full 24hr circuit. I wouldn't be as keen in anything much bigger or heavier. For big power cars spa's your man. What are you bringing?

Im taking my Radical SR4 along. I did the circuit a couple of years ago in my old E30 M3 and really enjoyed it.

I'd say the radical will be near untouchable there. Good choice. I'll do my best to keep you honest, on the straights at least!

I wouldn't worry about that, you will be all over it... I have only recently bought it and driven it once, so its very much a steep learning curve for me !

Anyway, im sure it will be a good day !

Very much looking forward to this one and will be taking the CSL along. I’m coming along with a couple of Porschists who I think will be peddling a 993 RSR and a Manthey GT3 so all very appropriate stuff for Le Mans.

This is my second day on the Bugatti and it was certainly a major league car breaker last time and is extremely hard on brakes so a nice set of Pagid RS 29’s got their maiden voyage at Snetterton last Friday.

Still a trip around the museum and a run round the rest of the circuit beckons, rude not to really!

Shame you can’t get a track day on the full circuit, that’s something I really would be willing to break the bank for

It will be good to see the RSR and looking at the list on the Circuit Days site there should be a lot of interesting cars there. I have a CSL as my road car so it will be interesting to hear yours going round.

I agree with what you say about the Bugatti Circuit being hard on brakes, we managed to destroy a set of DS2500 pads on the last outing there.
