No problem! Glad you enjoyed the day - brilliant racing! - and also got to catch up with Nik (sorry about that bit! )

[superlightr]

Excellent day out thank you to IM team !! Nick was a Gent and was good to talk with him and his partner.

I was wondering what happened to Balfe, I noticed they’ve not been on the grid for most of the season. I was planning on getting the set of A6 poster cards on Saturday and getting them signed by the GT3 and GT4 winners Sunday but failed at the first hurdle with the first round winners not on the entry list.

[LukeBrown66]

Car was up for sale apparently recently, I reckon they either ran out of money Or Balfe had too much work on and flogged it.

(forgot about this thread - posted some thanks on the investment one here!)

It was a superb day out, blessed with amazing weather for mid-October!


Great hospitality at SMO & with Nik - nice to have a natter, cheers!


Obviously a lot of great racing, but also with a few "you can't park it there mate" moments"



Tickled to find a smiling Ainsley on the pit walk, compared with last year's cardboard cutout (apologies to the ladies, I have no idea who they are, but he did the best smile for them!)


& the grid walk was of course full of beautiful machinery....er.....


I learned how to repair a busted panel with a hole punch and some zip ties:


& of course, plenty of exotica in the paddock - personal fave was the Bizzarrini, but plenty to chose from:




Thanks again to Nik & the SMO team, & the support of Julian & IM behind the scenes, organising & setting things up: cheers!

[LukeBrown66]

Have to say some of the driving on show even from pros was fairly poor, some real second rate moves, lots of damage and sometimes from people who should know better.

I know GT cars do not really suit many UK tracks, but some of it as a bit average in terms of driving quality!

So you know...

[Grey_Area]

Brilliant; I’ve enjoyed the couple of events we’ve been to with IM….

I don't know how anyone couldn't- even my wife enjoyed it!
Excellent events and fingers crossed for other opportunities in the new season.

Good news on the sponsorship front.

Is there any news on the firmness of the calendar? Specificly if the Silverstone round is still taking place on the Coronation Weekend, it is suspiciously missing from the Silverstone website.

[williamp]

Excellent, well done

[FredericRobinson]

Good stuff, one thing and another the only round I got too last year was Spa, hopefully will manage a few this year
