Yarp. Watch out for a white Civic.

Going with a group of mates so should be fun.
Will do! I'll be in this

Ideally hoping it will be dry so don't have to change wheels.

It’s looking promising... I’d be more inclined to book now as seems to be very limited numbers left.

That looks very nice smile

Any chance of a passenger ride? - would of course return the favour if you like.

I’m booked on this with my ugly 1 series along with a few others of the same.

Forecast is looking good.

Yeah should be able to... come and have a chat, plan on being out as much as possible!

Just looked on Javelin site and the day has sold out now... counted 94 cars.

Well I had a good morning... say morning as got booted off before lunch for going over noise regs. Managed 4 session, no problem at all in the first 2 then started to get a 'noise' board on the 3rd, then finally the dreaded black flag on the 4th... game over.

Turns out my exhaust system had worked itself loose so was progressively getting louder and louder, didn't realised what it was in till we were leaving the pits with obviously helmet off and window open. By that time I just couldn't be bothered to fix it then and there; An glad I didn't as 3 out of 6 bolts were missing and gaskets were blown.

Had a few good plays with the Aerial Atom, real nice guy too, didn't catch his name though.

Went on the day thinking I wasn't going to have all that much grip as the Nankang AR1's I'm currently on are now 2 years old but they were amazing!

Have some pictures and videos to follow.

Had fun chasing the Atom around, few short shifts next to db metres.

Lol first chicane, the green bits are for bunnies, the black bit is for you. Good lap otherwise.
Haha knew someone would pick up on that. Just wanted to catch ground on the Atom, genuinely the only time I cut it all day.

Look forward to a track day with yours one day Pete.
