Members Meeting Test Days

[Dave2P]

Is there any particular theme or running order for the 3 test days, or anywhere to find out what's likely to be being exercised? Or is it completely random and pot luck on the day(s)?

I'm unable to make the meeting itself but hoping to get down to at least one of the test days for a look and listen.

Anybody here know, or taking anything out?

Many thanks,
Dave

You largely answered your own question there!

Well, random's exciting!

Are these free access?

They are. Similar to a normal trackday; no problem having a look around - just park out of the way and make sure you don't get run over...

I'm going to drop in this afternoon as weather looks good so hopefully that will bring out something exciting.

currently at the circuit, E type, mustang, cobra, escort, some capris and a bit more.

Enough to be entertaining!

And a load of singleseaters and can ams. Plus Tiff nedell.

Spotted! Was that your 500 in the paddock?

Someone's day just turned expensive, think drivers fine though.

did someone go "off" ?? quite rare on a test day...

Unfortunately, yes. From overheard mutterings in the paddock, I think it was a "misunderstanding" / "racing incident" under braking into Woodcote - resulting in a heavy impact with the tyre wall and spin.

red noble?

Yep.

That must have happened just after I left, the cars definitely had some pace today!

They did that! My lad was timing the two Lolas at about 1:24 for the lap, which is not hanging about (allowing for the imprecision of an iPhone stopwatch app being operated by a 10-year-old...).

Was definitely worth the drive though; a sunny afternoon with some lovely cars on track. I'll post some pictures shortly.

An unfortunate end to the afternoon for this one. I believe the driver was unhurt.
