Where abouts did the Pug go off?

How many people were out on track? Did they use an open pitlane format in the afternoon?

I'm hopefully going to be out on track this Sunday, I'm just getting a heads up so I know what to expect at the weekend as I didn't have time to have a proper nosey this Sunday gone.

Donnington Park is a very slippery circuit in the wet. I my self have done 3 trackdays there and one of them was wet, not much grip compared to some where such as Rockingham. I have heard that the problem is caused by the planes using the local airport, dropping fuel as they take off and land. Doesn't cover all of the circuit but definetly Mcleans and Coppice corner get a good soaking. Take it steady in the wet boys, may see some of you myself this Sunday.

I wondered which forum pictures of my car would end up on. I wasn't too pissed off, the car had done a lot of track days including the ring last year, it was due to go back there with some of you lot in at Easter but won't going anywhere now .
I'm now left with the problem of replacing it before April, it was a really good low mileage one owner car and I paid £1900 for a year ago, I reckon I'll have to pay over 3k to get one as good.
The roll left me with nothing more than a sore neck as my lid actually stopped the roof collapsing where I was sat (you can see if you look at the pic).Up to the point of the roll I was having a great day and the car seemed to be working well in the wet, but I have to say I wished I'd stayed at home. Thanks to Podge and co for getting me home and not wanting owt for it.and everyone else that help me
Cheers Martin
