Sounds good to me mate, it was wet for my first ever track day at Donny in '04, the old 535 span a couple of time's, once i had to get pulled out of the kitty litter at craner, the back wheels went in to the patch of kitty litter in the top left of your picture :oops:

The main marshal bloke had a moan at me said i was driving too quick or some thing but TBH i wasn't deliberately getting the arse out every where, especially Craner !

Image

The other spin was at the same corner as you are at in your picture but it didn't leave the black stuff that time. I was comming into the old hair pin and left my braking and down change too late which made me over steer into the corner and just at the apex it was still over steering but i thought i'd got it under control, just after the apex it swapped ends very quickly and i endded up park the wrong way around roughly where the tow truck would be in your picture. I had short scarey wait whilst 2-3 cars went by as i thought i might get collected before i could move :eek:

This is a short clip of the old E34 going around in the wet, i was virtually the only car on at that point.

fookin lap top so slow lol downloading now chap i'v done lots of tdays at donno bruntingthorpe croft all over the place in all sorts of cars but donno in the wet is by far the best, and i also know what you mean about being the only car on track. only thing is you get away with lots more than when it's packed and some fecker go's off every session :?

LOL, i went off and ended up in the litter more or less behind where the ambulance is in the pic.

The grass was wet so i didnt lose much speed and entered the gravel sideways - felt like i was going to tip! :o
Hadnt fixed my towing eye either :oops:

Was having new tyres fitted at the track and had to go and jet-wash the wheels off before they would touch them :roll:

All good fun :D
