It's a beautiful day. The track is dry. The day was not a sell out so a few less drivers on the track.

Got some photos that I'll post up tomorrow once I've loaded them up to the 'net.

Done about 32 laps in total this morning (92-miles). One spin coming out of Hamilton's. All ok and only the pride is injured.

Hefty head on crash brought the session to a close and an early lunch. Prototype racer failled to get round the first corner. Car looks a mess but driver fine.

Other than that, a great mornings driving. 25-mins on 35-mins off. Old tyres are graining nicely and my brakes are holding up well. Rear discs going on next week but the larger fronts and drums are running fine.

Looks like the bushes are the next 'must do'. Then some dampers and springs.

Snetterton is fast! Loving it.

A nice rannge of cars. From race car to Ferrari. 458 is a bit nippy! Nice 308 GTB in the paddock too, has the same mirrors as I have smile

A couple of checks on the fluids and then back to the track.

The afternoon was excellent. I managed a good few more laps.

I feel like my driving moved on a lot. Got smoother throughout the day and certainly felt faster. Starting to get a feel for Samy.

Lot of red flags in the afternoon.

Samy ran well all day. Used a bit of oil and scrubbed the tyres a lot. Drove home without issue too. Had the roof off all day smile

According to Fuelly.com mpg was 14.5 on the track.

Off to Anglesey in July, not sure if I'll get the time to do another before then.

I'll post pics tomorrow.

Nice not to have added to the list of jobs to do ahead of S-Club Tour. So, wing mirrors, other seat, Griffith struts, de-cat pipes, the steering bush and a bit of wiring on Saturday.

Couple of after effects. Mpg has improved but the cats are blowing more. De-cat pipes didn't arrive. But the Surrey Roofs did.
