If Justin is a slightly better driver than any of the CGT guys he may get by one. I have passed all sorts of things I shouldn't be able to on a track. It makes for great video! He won't pull past one on the straights though, or under braking... Looks like he does have his work cut out for him after all....

Would have gone to Bedford today or Monday, it's just an awfull long way to travel. At lest 3 hrs each way, and then a full day's driving. For us Northerners, Donnington and Croft are a lot closer. I do like the idea of lots of run off though (that's why I'm not doing Oulton).

Anyway, see some of you on Monday.

I've been trying to get on this one but have left the booking to late. Why in this country aren't we allowed to do anything spontaneous?

Yep as Nathan said, I'm at Donington on Monday.

I count myself lucky to have even got on that given how late I booked.

Silversix, I wouldn't worry about driving gingerly, I'm sure I'm even more so

Dan - I had a great day today at Bedford but have killed my brakes (took to the grass at 110mph at the end of the main straight).

Fingers crossed new pads and a bleed gets them back for me. They lasted until 16:50 so not too bad, also had some great battles with GT3RS's which I have on vid.

How come you didn't come and say Hello to the single Noble contingent at Bedford today?

Missed your excursion ......sight of two Carrera GT's at the track some something else though (even they are they are porkers)

Yep, got a new set to go on tomorrow, they've turned white and gone crumbly, Donington should be less hard on the brakes.

My excursion was at 16:55 so right at the end of the day, I kept on wondering over to say hello but you were either busy talking to people, no where to be seen or out on track.

The CGT's were silly fast, they must have been doing 170 at the end of the straight, sounded lovely but a bit quiet!

Couldn't quite emulate Joust's wheel lifting antics but had fun all the same.

I couldn't keep up with the GT3RS's either.....the fact that there was about ten of 'em of there didn't help. Every time I went out I had one 'em sitting on my tail.
