I'm at the Ring again right now, and it's been raining almost non-stop since Tuesday

You have to get your timing right, otherwise it can be an expensive folly, even if you don't bin your car

The last time I tried to drive here in the wet I nearly destroyed my 928, which is my backup for when the Cerb is sulking

They do have a great reputation, sadly I don't have a support vehicle with different wheel/tyre options

No wishing to overtake your idea, but how about a double header with Spa as well? rotate

Requirements
Between Apr and Oct - seasonal plates!
Also circuit instruction might be an idea - last time on a track, Cadwell Park 1984ish on a Yamaha 350 ypvs!

Cheers Martin

Good idea PP,

To be honest, I was hoping for a few more interested parties before actually throwing some time at the project.
Your requirement to include Spa is the biggest time restriction element for the idea so it may have to be postponed for a later sortie thumbup

The Ring's Calendar is only quoting up to 31/03/2023 at the mo' so I don't see any urgency in committing to dates yet.

However, including my own restrictions, may help start some sort of temporal framework so....

I haven't seen that this was published in the Cerbera section, is it supposed to be only for Cerbera owners?

Hi Vincent wavey

No, not only Cerbs I was just trying to think of a new, snappy name.
As you can tell, I failed my PR Entrance Examination rofl

BUT

Now you've brought my attention to the possibility of other models coming,
I will incorporate that into the table (for fun).

If there is sufficient interest, I will put it up on the Track Days forum.

Fantastic pictures!

Were you trying to minimise tyre wear by not contacting the tarmac? driving

Back again, and it's very busy

Definitely a day for watching rather than driving
