Who's going?

I'll be there in my Westfield.

My first track day since last September and I cannot wait! Will be bringing a mate who has yet to do the Trackday thing. Could be interesting!

I'm going to be there in my M3, have not been out in it since November.
If it's a nice day I want to take my 911 out for a spin but Javelin are a little slow responding to my request.

Fingers crossed for sunshine!

BBC Weather is very reliable........except on timing. Cling on to that thought.
I was going to book myself, but then realised that it was in the first ten days of June.
It's strange, but having friends with early June birthdays, I have noticed that the weather in the period 1-10 June is remarkably wet 8 years out of 10.

Best of luck.

I hope it will be good, as I will be there too, but for the evening session in my MX5 mk3. Will hopefully be there early for sign-on so will try to look out for some of the daytime folks on track.

I have just reserved a garage. This effectively provides an assurance of the weather changing to bright sunshine all day long

I'll pack the tinted visor tonight!

I'm coming - hopefully in my Mk3 silver MX5 but it really doesn't like the wet with the Federal tyres. I expect that if it's quite warm all day then it's unlikely the circuit will be wet all day so hopefully at the worst we'll get a mix of dry/wet conditions.

Have never driven Donington before so am looking forward to it. Hopefully see some of you out there.

ah, when I looked this morning it said dry all day....
I have already fitted the Federals and racked on as much -ve camber as possible.

I also have a garage to myself so if anybody wants to share, look for a purple M3 with green wheels

The forecasts really seem to be a mixed bag! Fingers crossed, I reckon!

New pads fitted to the mazda this evening (I might have got away with them, but thought I'd play it safe!), so that's all ready to go!

Man up Mike, you aren't made of sugar so a bit of rain won't hurt you!! Are you borrowing the KMS GoPro set up to record your cock ups?

You are right but it's just faster (and more fun in my opinion) when it's dry.

No Go-Pro - don't want to record my ham fisted attempts at driving in the rain Mark!

If anyone sees a Westfield stuck, backwards, in the gravel....that will be me. Please return me to the pit's as I may well still have my eyes closed.
