Great stuff, I'd be eager to talk with you about your 750MC MR2 prep etc...

I'd imagine we will be with a Clio Cup race car and a White McLaren MP4-12C (also a PHer)

[Dowks]

Sure thing I'd be happy to. Still trying to shift my old MR2 but no joy yet!

I might book it actually as I have the day off and the Yaris put up with "ze punishment" last time pretty well, also the thought of trying to blag some passenger laps in an MP4-12C is worth the money in itself. I promise to take my shoes off getting into it and will not pass wind. Too much

Sadly he is unsure whether or not he can make it now

Anyway look out for an 18 year old male turning up in an S3 followed by a bright yellow MR2

Dowkes you're not far from me, I'm on the outskirts of Wokingham

[Dowks]

Yep just up the road, hoping for a nice day on Friday

I will come over and say hello. You are 18 with an S3 and I am a 44 year old with a Yaris, you have taken the right path in life whilst I took a wife, let this be a warning to all

[wackojacko]

Good stuff, maybe see you down there.

[veryslowone]

Not a bad day, I did see you but was too nervous to say hello The guy in the yellow MR2 did a nice save at Graham Hill bend, nice work.

I had plenty of time thinking about things considering the number of red flags. In the briefing the bloke tells you about warming up as the track was slippy. Also that if there is a red flag then you have to warm into things again.

So what happens? Some numbskill forgets all that within 20 minutes. Then the second numbskull goes off just after the red flag. Were both Caterhams? The more hairy the chestwig the more it seems people are missing brain cells. More red flags than a Communist day rally. When the circuit PA said that someone had dropped oil from the top of Paddock Hill bend to the bottom I know it was time to head home. You do not need that there!

The Yaris did better than last time, down from 35mpg to 34. So must have been pushing a bit harder. The front tyres are a bit fooked as well, it was rolling more than an Italian cruise liner in Paddock Hill.

Oil was me apologies

Engine let go just as I came up to Paddock Hill turn in, pulled over as soon as I could

That's a shame Dowks, great to meet you.


Aha I was on opposite lock out of the Druids and Graham Hill pretty much every lap when I was in the car, the crap Nankangs lost literally no tread depth at all after all the sliding and hooligan exits to corners..... when they get hot though they wern't that bad at all.

Just uploading the video of me taking PHer Kovac (the other part owner of the MR2) out in the morning when it was greasy.

[Dowks]

Likewise, looked like you had fun on those tyres!

Am now dreading the cost of that oil.......

[wackojacko]

Plenty of videos to come but these 2 are from the morning when it was bloody slippery..... this only aided my sideways addiction

You don't have to apologise for oil Simon, can happen to anyone, I mentioning it in relation to it being the icing on the cake from all the other flags. Having booked an instructor red flags were pretty painful wallet wise

Talking of which those Ferrari's must be pretty hard on the wallet. Bad enough paying for them on the road, track time must be doubly expensive. Nice to see them circulating though.
