Autocar Porsche day - 22 July. Anyone going?
Discussion
What a great day! Got blackflagged after about 10 minutes for being a noisy b
tard so very glad i had the silencers. Huge thanks to Tim at ACT for sorting them out at short notice 
Had a few drifting moments but only 1 spin (when i was out with the instructor). They really do encourage you to push your car to it's limits. Was going sideways on full opposite lock for about 2 seconds but just couldn't hold it, and ended up doing a complete 360. Glad they've got those run-off areas everywhere! Wanted him to drive it to show me what it really can do but, after checking with da boss, unfortunately they aren't allowed. Think he was even more disappointed than me
Managed to hit around 140 down the straight before stamping on the anchors and fishtailing into the chicane
Tried out the 997 Carrera S and, although it's clearly a very capable car, it didn't excite me nearly as much as the Cerb. Felt very easy to drive quickly and would be great for blasting across Europe, but not as much fun on the track. Told the chap from Porsche that it needed more power - easily pulled away from it on the straights and kept up with it in the corners (though i'm not sure who was driving it at the time). Needs a smaller, thicker steering wheel too.
Rob and Jon - good to meet you, hope to see you again at another event soon.
Wanted to say hello to the chap with the black Tamora but kept missing you - whenever I was in the pits, you were out on track, and vice versa. Anyone on here?
