Snetterton TD Sunday 28th Feb.

[mattCSLnut]

Just a quick report from a "VERY WET" Snetterton track day from Sunday just gone.
I've never seen so much rain fall in one day. It rained :bigcry: from 6 am I left home, throughout the whole day :bigcry: and only stopped about an hour after the TD ended @ 5 pm :bigcry:. Good experience never the less but one I'd rather not repeat anytime soon :(. Aquaplaning at over 100 MPH :smt107 , on the Revett Straight isn't for the faint hearted. Bealo would have been very proud. I can only imagine just how fantastic :thumbs: this track can be in the dry.
Few pix enclosed (first one showing the " Motley Crew " of my friends Deuche-wagons) The 928 was running R888 :smt107 in the wet :119: Mental !

Your certainly getting your winter miles in Matt :)

snett has one of the best wet grip surfaces I have ever driven.

In 2008 we did a wet but warmish December on Cups and couldn't believe the grip around Coram

Glad to see you getting the practice in for April;)

The wipers are OE "Aero Blades" as fitted by BMW Main Stealer. I bought the CSL with them on and they work really well, even @ over 100 MPH :thumbs:
I thought U might appreciate the Orange wing mirrors :beer:
I'm looking forward to the 28th of April @ Snett. to try out my semi slick Dunlops on my 18" 9J all round :supz: weather permitting. R888 on the Porker in the wet, were almost useless.

Well over 3000 miles since I bought her back in October '09 :thumbs: and four TDs already :supz:

Fair enough about " best wet grip " but with only 3 deg C and standing water, almost everywhere, it was really hard work , even with the GoodYear Eagle F1s on. I hope it's bone dry in April as I can see this being a VERY fast track, especially on semi slicks ;) :whistle:

Your a braver man than me, like the shot of your car going through the lake :whistle:

I did snet in sept 08 and really enjoyed it - can't wait till next month.

Hmm, brave you say :smt017 more like Mad :smt118 :hahaha: but it was a good experience and a steep learning curve in car control :thumbs:
Looking forward to the 28th of April :beer:
