Hi Ted, just arrived at Silverstone - taking a few pics, sorry I have not posted the others yet - because of the rain we are to be driven round by BTCC drivers etc!!!

What's on at Silverstone at the mo?

If you could try not to destroy the cars though eh.

So far some twat managed to roll an MR2 at Brands, another drove straight at a wall in the driving dynamics course and another twat hit the wall earlier this week at Silverstone.

The pro-drivers are there for a reason so please listen to them. We (as organisers) get pissed off with the trouble the minority cause when they think that they 'know how to drive' as other attendees have to go without 'cos of your selfishness.

Of course I'm sure you won't behave like that eh?

[manek]

Hmm, well I had fun at Brands -- and no, I'm not the one who hit the wall! I did throw it about a bit on the dynamic driving bit though and just to get the back end out...

No, don't mention it, least I could do, blah blah

Thanks to Toyota for a great day; the highlight for me was Steve Cole's guided Rav 4 tour.

Chris are you part of the On Track promotion?

Why aren't you a prodriver with your Locost experience?

I dont moan very often, but here goes. About 6 weeks ago I was invited by Yamaha UK to try out the new R1 and R6 at the full circuit at Brands. We were told we would get about 2 sessions on each bike (each session 20 mins). This would have been plenty for me as I'm about as fit as a mars bar.
We all get the talk about taking it easy etc etc. What happens. Within one lap of the first session (mine) 3 muppets had lost it and I spent 15 mins of my 20 in the pits. Second session something similar, you know the sketch.
At the end we were lucky if we got 1 session on each and some poor sods only got half of one session. Purely because most blokes were Mick Dohhan wannabees who didnt have a clue how to ride theyr'e woman let alone a sports bike. While i'm at it they had no respect for someone elses bikes neither. Loser's.
There we are rant over.
By the way thanks Yamaha UK for organising it.

Yup. We (Pci:Live) organise the event for Toyota UK. I looked into pro-driving but would really need an ARDS instructors licence which is a bugger to get these days as you need to be sponsored by an ARDS school.
