Donington 23rd Nov

Trackday through Focused Events tomorrow.

Just booked it last minute.

Anyone going?

Good luck. Hope you enjoy queuing. They stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap. I have never enjoyed any day with FE. Loads of waiting and plenty of red flags through poor standards.

But then I guess, everyone's experience is different...

I'm going Sunday with javelin, looking forward to it.

I'm going tomorrow, first time at Donnington so I'll be pretty slow, especially to start with

Good day. Pretty quiet. Too many red flags though.

I was there on Saturday (in the bog standard Mini) for my first ever trackday. As my first experience I'd have to say the day was perfect - a frosty start so we were under yellows for the first half hour, no queueing at any point in the day and friendly organisers. It was very quiet, I think they said 40ish cars booked, regularly managing a few laps without seeing another car, especially in the late afternoon. There was a few red flags but in fairness I think the problem was how boggy the grass was - I didn't feel short changed for the loss of track time either. My only criticism was a lack of blue flags - spent 3 complete laps sat behind an FTO who refused to let anyone passed.

The day's certainly whet my appetite for track driving, and looking for my next day.

Also thought was a good day with no queuing-except behind the FTO. Whilst there were quite a few red flags the stoppages were short.

I sat behind the FTO for a couple of laps. Absolute joker, his mate in the Civic Type R wasn't much better. Love the old move over and keep your foot down

Apart from that it was a decent day and nice to be back out on track.

Was there anyone taking photos at this day? Would be nice to have a souvenir photo of losing my track virginity...
