My lovely wife bought me a track day last Xmas so I am using it tomorrow afternoon, my first one ever and am looking forward to it very much :wink:

I would of liked to of put on all my mods before this but I have been unable to so will take the car as is, I would lose the day otherwise and I cannot stomach that.

Anyway, I will be taking the camcorder and loads of pics and will upload on this thread as soon as :cool3:

Have a great Andy mate :)

lucky man enjoy

Have fun mate, i would love to take mine round a track one day, look forward to the vid and pics.

drive steady and have fun

Enjoy it Andy, sure it'll be awesome.

Cool!

Have fun mate, and make sure you post the pictures and video up!

Im doing Donnington next month if anybody fancies it?

Oulton park is a great circuit! Enjoy yourself and try not to stack it!

 

Look forward to the video :yes:

Take it easy round cascades in this weather... that corner was the last time I drove my old car!!

Well????

Well you say......well I actually spun it in my first 20mins session, it was a bit wet and just before the pit lane I lost it, on the gas a little too early and there is a very slight brow that jinks the car after leaving a bend.

The lap before in the same place it gave me a bit of a wiggle, I ended up spinning either 2 and half times round or one and half as it slid onto the wet grass and a great bump backwards into a barrier.

Exited straight away and looked at the damage and hardly owt there :huh:

Loads more to say and plenty of pics and vids to upload in time but at least I am back in one piece :yes:

What great fun though :thumbup:

Andy, I knew you would crash! lol

 

Yeh thanks for that Rich!!!

Just a little scratch on the side rear bumper and a chunk missing from the wheel rim....a momento I am calling it :thumbup1: Could of been a lot lot worse, I was trying to get it under control as it was spinning as I could see the barrier getting nearer :thumbdown:

I wasn't the only one today, a Caterham lost it and also it's front end, I do have a pic.

Second session the track was starting to dry out and the third and final one the track was pretty dry, most fun was had here :clap:

Discs/pads were smokin after the third :yes:

I was only joking mate! Glad the damage wasnt too bad fella.

 

What sort of lap times did you manage? Were they 'stig' times? :drool:

Timing forbidden, anyone caught is black flagged :huh:

come on where is the vid?????

 

Don't get too excited my friend, you can only film from the pit lane and when I go brum brum flying past...well it's over in a flash, just a bit tired tonight but I will do it.

Plenty of other vehicle footage as well though, skyline, lotus, evos, minis, etc, that were all in my session :cool3:

Passenger is not allowed to hold the camcorder and film :thumbdown:

 

Camcorders must be securely fixed but NOT with suction cups..these are not permitted either...boo hoo :angry:

Gorilla tape is the answer bud.

I have more on another device but these are just whats on my phone

Firstly, me overtaking....erm a citreon :yawn:

Nice move overtaking that Citreon mate :ohmy:

Pulled out from it's slipstream and I was away :huh:

The vids are all much of a muchness really, I can conclude that trackdays are flipping good fun.
