I live less than 20 miles away. Weather has been really good here since the weekend.... touched 10 degs today and lovely sunshine.

Spoke too soon. Overnight snow has left a thin covering this morning with still a light snow coming down at the moment

Only a few flakes here Andy. Sun out now.

I messaged 4 people who said they had places, only 1 replied (his had gone) so I presume everyone else's have gone too?

Yes it brightened up nicely after I'd finished changing Brake pads and wheels in the freezing cold

Great day and I didn’t see one red flag

Wot, no pics?

What an awesome day! Great driving and cars on show and no flags that I saw 👍

Great day today, a little cold and slippy first thing but everything warmed up later.
No red flags or black flags as far as I am aware.
Driving standards were the best I have ever known, some very quick cars out there (especially the 991 Cup car), some not so quick but nobody appeared to get in anyone’s way.
Bring on 2019 🚗

...and it was proved yet again today, red cars are the quickest...

Jeez - the answer is BLUE! Looks like the faster cars stayed at home

Was really tempted by the last minute cancellations but couldn't free up the time

Yep!

Near perfect conditions. As people have said, standards of driving we're excellent too. A great day.

Agreed.............except the last bit.

Most enjoyable day and yes the driving standards were top class. God to put some faces on the names we have on PH. Thanks to the organizers who first invented this special day. Long may it continue!

[BubblesNW]

Maybe it should be renamed the GT4 day as the numbers are growing year on year and only a couple of RSs on track? There were at least 8 GT4s with Chris’s yellow one probably racking up most laps as usual.

Not sure who started it originally but may have been chap called Melv with a v nice 964 cup car.

Whats a little disappointing the last couple of years is that the original charity element has completely disappeared it seems. The day is a cracker with some nice cars both on the track and off it and also a very laid back feel to it. . Its not an expensive day relatively speaking and there more than a few bobs worth in the car park...

MSV just carry on as per normal track day. Would be nice if they thew a few quid at a local cause or invited someone along with their collection buckets :-) as without that original concept it wouldn’t exist today i think.

You are not correct,3 of us started the day,the first year we had 12 cars and other mixes of cars,so for the second year i personally underwrote the day to be porsche only,on my head!
The charity part only came later when we ran a couple of years with a chosen charity,if you want to come up with one,let me know and we can arrange.
Our day has no place for premodonas etc,just good cars,big respect for others and total enjoyment.
What has not helped is pratts in the paddock doing rev offs and bouncing off the rev limiters,when we drivers have to meet the 105db,the day is not for rev offs ,only drivers and enthusiasts who want to see the cars being used as intended.
2019 will hopefully have great weather again,and for the 20th anv may be a 2 day vent again,thanks all for supporting, i think other track day companies etc have a thing or two to learn on a great day on track with not one red flag and only 1 black flag all day.
