PCGB Track Day Oulton Park - Tuesday 26th April

[TDT]

Anyone going?

[Twinfan]

Yep, see you there T Weather looks like it'll be dry but not super warm, so it should be good.

Don't worry, I'll be using my mirrors and keeping out of your way

[dontdobends]

Yep! I'll be in a Shark Blue GT4 Looking forward to see what its like on track.

[Twinfan]

So that's 3 GT4s - as usual, the car of choice at PCGB track days!

[Mad Scientist]

Don’t know what’s going on. Tried to reply 4 times because I’m over excited!

Anyway, I’ll be there. Engine in the wrong place.

[ChrisW.]

Yes ... in the 944 !

I suppose someone has to drive a 911

Dropped by to say ‘Hello’, it was great to see so many superb cars on track. My favourite was Kev’s Python 718GT4. Some 991GT3RSs and a few 992GT3s and too many GT4s to mention.

Driving standards appeared excellent as usual with a few more unusual cars on track - a noteable mention to ChrisW in the 944 Turbo, must have a pax in that some time...

Weather was dry all day apparently and very few red flags.

[dontdobends]

cracking day and weather! nice to meet few guys from here.

enjoyed a few steady laps in the GT4.

I was on the A49 about 9am so missed the bulk of attendees, plenty of fabulous cars spotted on the way there and on my way home. Sure there was an electric one (technical response) any do the track day?

Yep, weather was awesome all day.

Three red flags which wasn't bad really, only one in the afternoon when it was quite a bit quieter on track.

Was a fun day, barely any stoppages, glorious sunshine, and some mainly decent driving…. few stubborn ones…. But everyone was pretty fair and it was nice to be on a car track day and not a test day!

Few quick guys around, to try to follow and to to pick up tips from…
Dontdobends…. very nice driving from you mate, I was not on that pace at that point. I also tried your suggestion of holding 3rd, from your look at my RS day video, much better.
Mad Scientist…. 992 GT3 is rapid!
TwinFan, looks like you’re gaining confidence and was having great fun, also ChrisW in the 944 Turbo Cup.

Personally, it was another school day, learning to try to really lean on the car and the tyres. Properly turning the steering wheel and getting a bit of rotation and energy into to the car using the throttle. Net result from a quick review of data when I got home - dramatically improved PB supported by a decent number of consistent laps…the journey continues.

Nice one T, and thanks for the kind words. I think I did OK for my third track day and as promised I hope I kept out of your way enough!

It was great to see you, catch you again sometime no doubt.

[Mad Scientist]

Superb day. Was my first PCGB event but I will be doing more!

Lots of lovely cars and some great driving. Nice groups to have a bit of a play with, but also some really clear sessions.

Nice to meet you T, albeit briefly. I always seem to run out of time for more socialising!

John: your GT4 is the best colour.



Some video here, to help with the post track day blues!

Nice vid! What camera are you using for that that moves around in the corners?

Go Pro, hyper stabilisation feature.

[jackwood]

Thanks. That’s pretty cool! Certainly makes it feel much more “dynamic”.

Looked like a great day. Will have to get booked for next year.

How quickly do they book up after the dates are announced? And roughly when do PCGB release dates for the year? Only just joined PCGB so not aware of their schedules or how quickly these things get booked.

Great day, thanks to everyone involved in organising and running the event and to everyone who came out to play! Nice video
