One of me in the snotter

, had a good race with an e34 ///M5, e30 wins again
On the last lap i held right back and gave it some balls coming out of the coned corner, just got into 5th before standing on the brakes and hit 235kph (147mph), not bad since there was a 70mph speed limit...

Mine on the 2.30 run. Note my suspension was carefully setup for the test track...the Land Rover track

Really must sort that someday. Still held on pretty gamely for standard though. Funny smell of brakes after we were all getting the hang for the back straight at 125 or so and then realising we had to turn off.
When we stopped for the picture a guy in a E34 M5 who fell behind at the first corner said I was braver than he was. Can't help but worry about what he knew that I didn't.....

Bought: Obtain in exchange for payment. Brought: Come to a place with (someone or something).
These words are NOT interchangable....!

As Ivesaid earlier the track was a dis-apointment. But I also have to say that after thinking about it. These Photos arent really all that either. None of them really justify a £35 A2 poster, as they a) mostly look like a stationary car or b) the car is so far in the distance as to make it not detailed enough.
Shame as Id hoped for a pic where I could at least see my face.

TBH - Im not impressed for a pro photographer especially!!!
Im not a pro but imo the pics could of been so much better - a couple I took at the last track day I went to
Ok ok - its an excuse to show them off lol - but imo theyre better than those "pro photographer " ones

YES! Especially as I watched the inch diameter stone flying through the air before impacting on my screen!
Cant recommend it for next year to anyone.
