good clear pictures, but you need to get that tripod fixed!

Nice Was it an easytrack or bookatrack day? - I thought I recognised a few cars (and some of Geoffs decals)

...and were you driving? If not - why not!

Thanks.

ET (and a very good deal I think, 65 cars, OPL, GP circuit.)

My brakes let me down at Bedford earlier this year and knocked my confidence in the car so haven't done anything since then - but would love to do Brands GP at some point.

Is Marcus still rolling up in posh cars, giving his dodgy briefings and driving into cat litter?

some good pix there, well done
But who in their right mind would take a BMW X5 on a track day ?

Perhaps he took the wrong turning off the outside lane of the Motorway

It may well have not been the slowest there, looking at the pics - But it sure as hell would have been the heaviest!

I was impressed by the X5, certainly not as lairy as the cayennes I've seen on track.

Slowest I saw for the short time I was there was a rather pedestrian DB7. (Although it *was* a track day and as long as everyone drove safely, with consideration, and within their limits, they can drive how they like.)

As for Marcus, I think he must be taking it easy, I've only bumped into him on a few occasions and I've never caught him on track! Maybe I've been going to the wrong days.
