Some of us are doing Silverstone 23rd of this month due to cancellation in September because of a bit of water on the track. ;)

I'm calling it a year now Jez, can't speak for Vic though!

I saw Duncan's car there but the driver was a bit younger than last time :-D shame I only just read this, I was in the Imola Red M3.

Very slippery & wet in the morning after the worlds longest drivers briefing. Once it dried off it was very good fun. Was pissed when they ended at 4 though.

GT3 crash is completely different to how he described it lol. Slow Lotus!

Will get my videos up soon, nothing exciting apart from a few sideways moments :whistle:

Red flag galore in the morning, my mate felt guilty on the afternoon when his water pipe burst on his VR6 and they red flagged it!

I got so bored before that I turned off :119:


Plonker he is. Power too early, left wheel in the damp, came off the power too quick.........collected a load of winter root crops I guess.....very common at Riches.


There for the grace of god etc

The GT3 unfortunately found the nice new tyre wall that sits outside Riches...!! Only a gentle little touch but was enough!! That said maybe better than eating some corn out f the field there!! lol

I was working.

I went to snetterton on sat, 10am the track was perfect, nice and dry and put some good laps in, then turned cold, cups couldnt get enough heat in them to drive the car near the limit. I left early by midday as had no traction or abs and for the first time in my Track day career didnt feel the love.

GT3 could of saved that by keeping foot on gas and drifting it back.

In the dry on cups after breaking, Riches can be taken flat out in 3rd or 4th.

... well he pushed the LF wing back, lucky not to do the screen actually, or the A-pillar and then dented it but was cosmetic otherwise.. tho you'd throw a new splitter and bumper at it and maybe a headlight! and pray the Rads ok!! ... silly really...!

Was going to get my detailing kit out and spruce it up before his wife got to lay eyes on it!!! :whistle: LOL... might not have looked soooo bad!! JD
