3 sighters and one flier for me. Well i say flier, was same pace as sighters behind about 50 cars, and still one managed to go off infront of me.

Got a vid of a little drift and thats it lol.

Ahh well bring on next time.

im guessing the rain along with 24hours of rubber being laid diwn only 18 hours earlier did not mix

IMO the conditions weren't that bad! it was raining but not much standing water. The problem was the 50 cars driving round at sighting lap pace like its the first time they have ever seen some rain

Then you had the roll cage heros! one came out of the pits and within the first three corners ran out of talent

Good to see all the CSL lads & meet Sam with the White E46 (nice bit of kit)
but honestly the day was abit of a shocker.... maybe the 45minute drivers briefing sent everyone into 'Learner driver mode'

I can't make another track day this year so im hoping after getting up at 4am and throwing £100 down the pan on fuel + wasted day off I will see my money back for the TD

+ I covered 21miles in total - not sure how long the track is but two lap were sighting and the others were as good as

Isn't that the guy who asked the young lady on the media centre desk to change the channel on the TV to some light porn
