Cadwell Today

[hughandjenny]

Just come back from a trackday at Cadwell Park with my son. (Even with dodgy wipers see other post). Got to the circuit in time and promptly locked my keys in the boot bl...y dipstick. I had read that there was a secret way to open it. So called Gugliemi from the circuit and they talked me through it, phew. Day went really well, very scary when it rained heavily and even more so when we spun it on the corner before the mountain. (No damage thank god) Later in the day we were overtaking quite alot of stuff. The only thing that came undone was the boot strut worked its way loose.
Anyway seriously fun day.

Nice one. Cadwell can be like an ice-rink in the wet, especially under the trees past Hall Bends and along the bottom straight. Everyone seems to spin at the bottom of the steep hill (whatever it is called).

A 911 aquaplaned on the start straight at 50mph (He was on semi slicks) He span 3 times and missed the armco by inches. A couple of others came off in the wet also. Those bl..dy clios are quick. and a new scooby sti was very fast. But the two atoms were the best.

It dried quickly in the afternoon, so got some good laps in.

I did a trackday at Blyton today not too far from Cadwell as the crow flies and barring a 10 minute shower at 9.30 was glorious all day. Newly laid 1.6 mile circuit and very challenging. At £99 for the day, great value too.

Yes it was an open pit lane very well run and no noise testing, at least for the moment. Javelin ran the trackday. The track itself goes anti clockwise which is unusual but non the worse for it.
