Dunno yet, I am rather ill and shouldnt have gone TBH but ah well 
THe day was crap for the people who paid to drive. 18 red flags in the morning alone!! There was a VTEC powered Metro which was really quick and a GTR which I had a few laps in!!!

Like i said, that was just in the morning. Christ knows how big the total would be if I knew the afternoon spin couny 
The organiser of the day seems to attract the idiots. Last time I went to one of there days at Oulton, there where HUGE ques and every time I went to take pictures it got red flagged
Hi Matt
I'm guessing about 16 of those reds were on the exit of Druids
They should just have a big catch net there followed by a one hour sinbin for all spinners, that would sort them out
.
Last one we ran there in November we had a bunch of spinners at the start of the day, luckily we had a sensible number booked in and most of the cars recovered to track without a red flag so it didn't cause any queues but we announced that anyone spinning there would be banned for an hour and amazingly we hardly had a problem after that

credit must go to Staff @ Oulton for getting the day on and marshalls did their best with blue flags, but must admit there was some very poor driving at times and there seemed to be far too many cars there!
not sure if this is significant but have only attended 2 trackdays @ weekends, usually attend midweek events, and both seemed to have a far higher % of "poor drivers" and a lot of queuing, signing on and getting on track.
Must hold my hands up as I caused a red flag - but little I could do when my engine cut out right at the breaking point at the end of pit straight and cruising downhill to try and park in a runoff out of the way - my apologies.
midweek only for me in future -when i've sorted the problem with my car that is :-(
