Can't make Donnington, but I will be at Cadwell next Friday evening.
Donnington's superb and Nick's trackdays are well run, so I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Have you done anything to the 540 to improve it's manners on track?
I'm at Oulton Park next Friday so can't do Cadwell. I have done Donnigton before in my Tiger R6. The E34 should be a different experience!!! I have listed the changes to the car in this thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... on the track day forum.Donnington's superb and Nick's trackdays are well run, so I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Tom, were you at Cadwell earlier this year in the Z4M Coupe?
I'm Tony with a Z4MC if you mean me?Although I wasn't at Cadwell earlier in the year, only Oulton Park - and I've also been back once or twice and found out that I have to drive the circuit quite differently in the Z4MC compared to the e34 M5, which has the added benefit of knocking an alleged 30 seconds of my M5 lap time.
Had a great time at Cadwell Friday evening, the weather was fine, though it did try and rain for 5 or 10 minutes, didn't cause things to get too slippy.
Had one or two comments like "don't drive too quickly" about the "hairdressers car" when I went out for the sighting laps, but they stopped after a while.
My highlight of the night was towards the end (from about 7.30 onwards) when I didn't have my very heavy brother on board and was able to have a great play with the white 09 plate Exige S.
Shame to see the E30 M3 stopped on Park Straight and the E46 M3 with damaged rear bumper at the end at Mansfield. Hope they're both easy fixes.
