Luckily they have announced an extra race which means my 1st outing will be on a wide circuit thats nearly 4 miles long, rather than Brands in cold November on a narrow 1 mile track!!

Getting very excited now. [read--plopping my y-fronts]

Very cool. Have fun mate, and good luck.
I would come along to watch, but will be driving the nob round the alps then. biggrin.
So, are you going to start a blog like Richard, makes it easy to keep up to date with your progress.
Any pics of the car yet?

Could do a blog I guess.

Anyone know of a blog site that makes things easy peasy for me? I have my own domain if that helps?

No pics yet. Its the racing green S1 elise. Just back from service chap who has given it a clean bill of health. When I get back from Vagas next week its off for the cage, fire ext. battery cutt off, full geo and corner weight. Then its back to me for a pair of carbon seats and harnesses. smile

Very exciting!!

Not missing the Noble at all frown

I use blogger. You can point it at your own domain if you want, just follow the instructions.

Have you booked a test day yet?

Hi Richard, saw your motor at Kerridges the other day. Looked great!!

I've got my ards and a snetterton trackday booked together on august 12th. I have a silverstone track evening booked for mid july and would hope to try and get on there again with some instruction on the lines before the race.

I know silverstone's lines are a bit tricky on the full gp circuit so hopefully I'll get some tuition. Otherwise it'll be lots of GT2 on my PC biggrin

Its a bit strange that you go all the way there on the friday for a 30 min quali/practice and 1 x 20 minute race, then have to go all the way back again the next day for another 20 minute race! Not exactally a full days track driving!! smile

Slippery surface, and muggins here wrote red and black, not red and yellow! There was a picture of it on the front of the paper too!! banghead
