Yea. Just realised most of those vids make me look slow or like someone was blocking me, lol. Obviously I was just following people I knew for a bit to get them on film. Always nice to see your car on track, I think.

Thanks no probs, you were going really well perhaps the only 911 to give me a 'run' quick car...
The yellow Audi was also suprisingly quick, nice lads too.

Slightly off topic but were you at the Spa track day in April this year? (2nd April)

Great event. The guys in the Galant were not only fine but actually drove the car home to Kent after some 'creative engineering'...

Commiserations to Adrian at the Ring - he was kind enough to give me a PAX lap in the M3 a couple of years ago. He knew the difference between 'fast and safe' and 'fast and stupid'. Hope the Porker insurers do the right thing.
...and the owner of the red 944 even offered his co-driver another go - even after said co-driver had dropped it into the barriers at rivage :-)

Yip I was there all 3 days in my track m3, well 4 days really as did tf on the sun at 'ring too, another utterly fantastic few days by Darren & the DN crew.

My day job is this- lizardlogistics.com & I brought back a couple of the spanked ones back to Uk already & am out again next wk for another one & there maybe a Goldtrack one or two from Spa as have been in last couple of yrs.


Havent seen the vids above yet, but did have a really close moment with black Noble with a 'rocket'- or similar num plate @ Blanchimont, I didnt spot him & was overtaking a car then about to turn in & he nipped up the left, was a bit of a clencher as I turn into Blanchimont at 115mph, would have been a messy one if we connected thats for sure.

Was there in a 3 RS , thought both events were well run but very busy,previous DNs have been quieter, obviously people prefer this to TF! Some great cars, loved the macca at Spa on Wednesday, the Cobra Coupe was a stunner too..

Jack, thanks for posting those videos. I was the guy in the Alfa GTV6 it must have been you that I had a chat with. It was great to see her on video I've only ever had stills before and it's not quite the same. Cheers!

That is in a 2.0L N/A Honda DC5 (260bhp) lapped round there all day long with no issues!

Do you have any idea when the spa dates will be released for april 2013? (with Circuit days)

And any chance of a P-ride in that noble if you are in attendance?! smile
