Well, it was a lot better than i thought it would be, although i may have been better in a dinghy with all the standing water on the track. I was surprised at how slippery parts of it were as i did leave the tarmac right by the pit lane paperbag but with bedford having such great run-offs i just coasted back to the track and carried on with my day. Lotus were there with the Evora taking people round for thrill rides, and it was pretty damn lovely to be honest, nicely finished interior, quick through the twisty bits and fast down the straight. I just managed to keep up with him for half a lap, but then i had to show him how fast the noble is by taking down the straight (i noticed his speedo earlier touching 120 where as i was getting up to 145mph whistle) but as soon as we were back to the corners he was all over my ass, he really knew how to drive! It's a shame you missed out on yours last week, hopefully it will be a bit warmer and dry when you next go, but even if it was wet i still had a really great time!

Sounds like you had a great time. 145mph down the long straight? Hmm, not sure I'll be that brave in the wet!

Will find out on the 29th of March as I have re-booked for then driving.
