Craig -did i meet you at the sign on area? Im sure i remember it, kept on seeing your car all day on track, it look fabulous, well prepared!

So here are the highlights!

1. Superb weather Sunday - tuesday (well unbtil we hit Dover on the way home and the heavens opened!

2. Great Company - alexgtt and kev, duncanR, nathan, silverbullet, tankslapper (and their crew), my old man!, dave (puregt)dontdobends, azrael and mark, terryb, edinburghCSL and maybe some more i have temporarily forgotten!

3. superb trackday, no queues at ALL, no booking in queue and no noise test queue, no pit lane queue

4. Live recovery and i think not ONE red flag all day (big up to Spa-Francorchamps)

Thanks to terryb for giving me a lovely passenger ride in his GT3, and big up to TerryB, DuncanR and my brother for allowing me to rag their cars around the track making it a bit special as i was a passenger this weekend.

I have a voucher for Spa with CD next year so bring on April 2011

Tuesday was good as well apart from a couple of red flags,only got wet when we rolled off the love boat at hull

**AlexGTT** · 06-10-2010, 02:20 PM

Was a great couple of days. Had my bro-in-law along with me. His first CSL and Spa experience! Very strange having someone else driving my car.

Good to see the crew again, Shim, Shim's Dad (sorry, Bro

), john, azrael and Mark, Terryb, Duncan and son, and everyone else (I've missed). Weather, company, banter, food and drink was brill.

All back in one piece. Just one hell of a cleaning job now! Never seen the CSL so dirty.

Hi Shim, yes you did I was the one giving Darren abuse about his hat!!

Believe it or not, the red e36 328i was just running standard Falken 452 road tyres (I expected it to be wet!!!) and the suspension was a bit on the tired side. I believe you spend some time spectating how did it look out on track?

Race Chrono reports several lap times between 3:13 and 3:17, but it was my first time at Spa and I have no idea if thats good or not??
