Track time is all but sold out Jon. I think they have some left at the end of the day, but that's about it.


My lot decided to go for some exclusive time, so we got around 20 of us together and will be out at 1.15pm

Playo,

Tip, try and get to the queue for the session last - everyone thinks it's a race and when the flag drops at the grid it's definitely a free for all! There was some interesting driving last year, with rolled cars, crashes at almost every session etc. It is called an action day after all!

That was an interesting day 8O

Wet as hell and a big line of petrol trailing through the middle of the track from quarry to the esses where I quite majesticly spun it! :clap:

Hopefully it'll be dry for the June event and a bit more enjoyable.

Well I did the typical zoner thing, and didn't go :o

Didn't finish work work till almost 2, so I wouldn't have been up there till 3, so didn't really see the point, plus it was raining. Need any more excuses?

On the plus side, the 205 now has a decent oil pressure guage and it varies from 85psi under load to 50 hot idle, so alot more than we thought!

Also tested out the r888's in the damp, they are still very grippy 8)

Any pictures lads?
