Anyone else attending? I've always wanted to do the full GP circuit - I'll be there in my trusty S2000, hoping not to be a mobile chicane! It'll be my 4th track day, after Goodwood, Castle Combe and Thruxton.

Also attending will be my old man, as a passenger! One of life's dawdlers, his many questions before agreeing to come along have been:

"Do I have to go in the car?" <-- Yes
"Can I bring the dog?" <-- No
"Will we be going quickly?" <-- I'll try
"Can I just sit somewhere and take photos?" <-- No

Excellent!

You will have a blast!

I was there in my GTi6 which is about the same pace if your car is standard and I wasnt a mobile chicane. The nice thing is how wide the circuit is, you can carry lots of speed and also keep out of the way of faster cars.

It is a fantastic setup - just make sure your tyres are up to speed as the cornering speeds are very high (turning in at 85-90!)

It's fairly standard, I've got a slightly louder intake, better brake pads and R888s (moment of madness...) fitted. Good to hear I shouldn't be swamped by faster stuff!

Roll on next tuesday!
