Yep that the people , its my first outing in my Caterham so will be taking it easy till i know how things feel , and yes lets hope the weather holds out

[Cuzza]

I'm in one of the groups for the Caterhams

[mantaray]

Looks like i will be following you guys then

[Mr Apex]

I'll be there, sliding around in the rain

[mantaray]

Well looking out the window in Southampton its pissing down forecast for weds looks the same
Real shame its such poor weather , do many get cancelled due to rain ?? if your running a top no problem , but in a caterham not a lot of fun at all .

[Cuzza]

No chance it'll get cancelled for rain, shame about the forecast as I don't think there's much shelter at Combe The last forecast I saw had showers so we might get some dry sessions with a bit of luck.

[Herman Toothrot]

Was a good if wet day, one dry session before lunch was nice.


Didn't matter so much the rain as my proper (scary in the wet) car was broken so I picked up a new car from ebay the night before. 14 hours of ownership before track time

[Mr Apex]

Good effort - that's one way to get to know a car! I tested my Peugeot 205 for the first time (the red one, in case you saw it..) yesterday. Loads of madness, not much traction.....

[mantaray]

Yep good time was had , even as the noise police kept me off the track till the silencer was repacked with new loft insulation !!
Still i did get on the track after lunch and they did let me catch up on the sessions i missed in the morning , so thanks for that
The rain was a pain and i never did get to see how the Caterham went, wheel spin in 5th was a little unnerving
Roll on the next dry one

You looked quite pee'd off stuffing that exhaust when I wandered past, car looked a right beast though. Got to remember what David said, one foot on the accelerator all the time, keep that turbo spinning
