I was there in the Yellow S1 Exige, what a great evening, loved every minute. Only had one spin at Copse, almost made it to the wall.

I was there in session 1 all day in the white/blue RS.

Had a good day although in an ideal world I'd have liked to have been in session 2.

I was there in the silver Ford GT in group 2.

The Sauber Mercedes was fantastic.

I have an issue with the Radicals though. Clearly they are on a different league in terms of braking and cornering speed, but yesterday I constantly needed to check my mirrors even after turn in to see if one of them boys had just gone banzai inside....

Another thing is that there were too many red flags, and most of the times it was a Radical stuck in the gravel trap...

Anyway I had lots of fun after the first 2 sessions and I am planning on going again...

Were you in the evening session too? Saw a Ford GT spinning nicely at Becketts biggrin

Was instructing in a 996 RS on the day and a 997 RS in the evening.

Thought I saw your car parked up on the side of the m40 on the way home too? Hope not, as whoever it was looked broken down!

It was me again... The alternator had gone. The battery took me from Silverstone to J8... No big deal... just had to wait for the RAC twice, as the 1st recovery vehicle was not a flat bed...
