Had another great day on Saturday, the car performed excellently again and matched up well to some much newer machinery, especially in the wet conditions :D

You're a braver Man than I................

I did a wet trackday at Cadwell in December in my Compact. It actually went very well, clocked up 140 miles and didn't have any dramas. In the wet you just need to drive with extra care and not take any liberties. Certainly very good for a bit of self-training.

Yes indeed Andy, it was very wet in the morning and dried up at lunch so we had a couple of dry hours to push on. Later on it rained really heavily and made the track very interesting until the session finished ! I actually enjoyed exploring the limits in the wet more than I was expecting !

Here are a couple of vids...

Very wet part 1

Slightly drier...
