Anyway, had a fantastic three days of lapping in glorious weather. Track was very busy, with a few bits of exotica turning up (Gallardos, two F430 Scuderias, several R8s, the usual 10000 Porsche, a Techart GT Street, etc). Best of all, in my opinion, was an astonishing E30 M3 owned by a French guy. He was running an M5 3.8 complete with an enormous turbocharger - 864bhp peak!
All three cars had spins - ours was the only one not self-induced, when we got hit from behind just as we were at the apex of Aremberg (pretty much the only corner with any sort of gravel trap!). E46 M3 tapped us on the rear corner and span us out - no damage to Mike's M3 apart from a scuffed bumper as he skillfully kept us out of the Armco, but the E46 went in and was probably a write off. The driver told us his brake pedal had gone to the floor...not surprising, given that when we checked there were no rear pads and the fronts were down to being wafer thin!
Returned home in the middle of the night on Tuesday. Already planning the next trip for Easter next year! Some pics of the adventure below...

Does his insurance pay out for the scuff on the bumper as its a toll road? Or did you sort it out there and then?
