Anyone going to be attending? I'll be heading up the night before likely staying in the Ramada locally.

Be in the (hopefully aligned and ride height set up) Clio 182 on my tod.

I'll be there in my Z3 2.8, fitted new brakes today, but not bedding in very well. Will be with a black Civic, white MKII Escort and Silver Puma, come over and say hi.

Was a great day!

Only gripe was given the lax rules there were some slower drivers in faster cars holding up traffic in my group (novices) which got a bit dangerous.
Other than that, great, well organised day!

What were you in?

Agreed yes great fun, what were you in?

Highlight for me was the Blue Mk2 Escort with the Millington diamond type engine, 350 bhp n/a beast with a good driver was flying.
We were in the Silver Primera GT and Green Xsara VTS both standard road cars with good tyres and uprated brake fluid.
We had to take it easy in the VTS as the oil temp was too hot after 5 flying laps and needed cooling off, will need to get an oil cooler fitted.

excuse the crap quality phone camera photos!

Was in the blue Clio in the Novice group. Think maybe intermediate next time as there was a bit of dodgy driving in my group!

Enjoyed the track though.

Was great fun, I was in the intermediates for the first 4 sessions and thought the driving standard was very good, courteous and slightly competitive, just the way I like it.

The drone got this.

Being a regular at Lydden Hill, I love that drone footage. It captures what a sunny day at Lydden is all about.
I will about in July
