Well done , Pete, I'm sure you'll soon be a track addict, once you get the taste of blood..........Nad and myself will be there with the CC, and we are happy to offer rides to other Viper owners. If you have been thinking of doing track days, why not come and see for yourself how it all works? Particularly if you're planning to do the Ring, and have no previous track experience! I doubt you'll find a UK circuit better suited for Vipers than Silverstone GP.

I am going to be there with a couple co-workers. I have 1 case of Mobil 1 10w30 to offer if someone is willing to give them a ride! Thanks..

Due to some unforseen circumstances, we are now sadly unable to attend tomorrows trackday at Silverstone with the Comp Coupe. Please go and support Pete on his first trackday outing with his new Viper, if you possibly can.

damn scarey to start with!! managed a few offs but after a very insightful 30 minute session with a GoldTrack instructor, getting the monster around the course became much more enjoyable.... even with GT2s and elises frequently sniffing around the back end!
need new tyres! sorted now or will be before the next track visit. it was so cold, it wasn't until i had a full session - the instructor session - that the tyres got some proper warmth in them....
Thank you Mike, JP and Steve(?) for being so supportive - really enjoyed seeing your true viper fan enthusiasm! Thanks for posting the pics too. Sorry i didn't boot my pals out of the car long enough to give you a blast around the circuit; i'll keep the seat booked for you guys next time!
sorry to hear about your back Bjorn- big shame you 2 couldn't have been here to show the Porsche, TVR and Gallardo crews who's boss! no more bending over backwards mechanic manoeuvres yu heer! Look forward to next time (on a warmer day!)
