RS Day at Oulton Park on 5th March - with a stock GT4 be ok for drive by noise? It says drive dB is 92, I think that’s quite low for a GT4?

I believe it's the 6th March ?

Another 12 mm of rain today in not so sunny Yorkshire ... !!

As predicted last week, forecast looking a very cold and damp track ....

[Digga]

As much a personal reminder as anything...

I’ve booked TheGoose for some tuition to keep me on the black stuff!

He's very good.

I never once went on the grass while he was in the car.

Me neither.

I may have had a little excursion at Lodge Corner, late in the afternoon last year, when it was wet enough and cold enough that anyone with any sense (i.e, just about everyone else) had already packed up and gone home...

About 5% of those in the car park.

I had no problems keeping my RS on the black stuff............well until this afternoon when said black stuff got covered with white stuff and my RS failed to stop and ended up in the central reservation..The congested M4 hit sudden snow and everybody decided to do an emergency stop, unfortunately the Cups decided to carry out some ice skating and i had to choose between ramming into some stationary cars or turn towards the central reserve hoping the kerb would help stop me.It did a grand job however the front PU caught the crash barrier and crumpled like cardboard..
It scared the bejesus out of my wife while i was my typical cool self. Anyway it won't be coming to the Oulton park RS day so my ticket is up for sale..Anybody want it please PM and first come first served.

Jeez sorry to hear that Taffy. Not ideal. What a PU when it is at home and is there much damage? Hopefully not. Get the PS4S on..

Front bumper and maybe one light unit if i'm lucky..I have a pretty large excess so i might just pay for the repair myself and not involve the insurance company.

[hunter 66]

Speak to Paul McLean and Tony .........T will fix it

[browngt3]

That's bad news, sorry to hear that Taffy. Hope nobody got hurt,just some frayed nerves I guess. I would also recommend not claiming if at all possible as it might prove more expensive insuring all your cars next time round. However, I bet an RS front bumper and light unit isn't small change...

Will come and say hello then, as I’ll be there too!

Sorry to read about your incident John, hope you can get it sorted it out quickly.
Main thing is no one was hurt. All the best.

Sorry to hear this Taffy, but pleased no one was hurt. Porsche bumpers are expensive, but definitely replaceable, so hopefully no real harm done.
