was planning on making the trip, but the weather put me off

 

 

you think dingy was going well?? cant have been that good he never got below a 1minute 50.. but no doubt he will give the usual misfire problems or troubles with grip a go

also martin johnsons thing was pants (including the driver) he also never got below a 1 minute 50

that saph which had crashed didnt look too good.. although earlier on another session i did say it looked as if it handles like a bag of nails!

best track car today was the Ex touring car seat timed that at a 1min 30! which is stupidly fast for in the wet

and best fast road/track car has to go to Marco's rs2000 ran faultless all day and looks awesome fun!

 

......

 

Great Day at Dono as usual

being so wet on track gives things a different perspective

Thanks Dingy and Lee R21 for taking me out The 21 went dead well and Lee hung on to it well - twice

HUGE thanks to Disco Dave You are nuts
ripping that massive J turn with on coming traffic - You are my hero!!


The rack on the Dolly was the best..

 

was mr hadland there

looks a laugh should ask for another no noise day in the hight of summer

 

yep hadland was there.. did 2 sessions i think then the gearbox decided to play up and it kept on jumping out of 3rd when it came on boost... or so i was told

 

Very good day that triumpt was amazing and all the other cossie/rs's looked on top form.

Will post any good pics in a bit.

 

Gotta admit it has been the best day for a while now (apart from the weather) and the ammount of Rs cars there was shocking.. its normally half that.. so good to see em out

 

PMSL @ slow lap times.....

reason.... WET

never rev'd the car past 5k due to MASSIVE amount of wheel spin and what appears to be a plug lead breaking down......


I had a top day sideways most of the time and really don't give a fuck about laptimes

 

was a good day but bloody cold at times.

shame that blue track special kept stoping expert group EVERY session

cant wait for next one

 

Thats what 4WD, Toyo T1-R's and proper suspension setup is made for!!!!!

Sounds like a cool day was had by all!

 

was frezing but good, 200sx drrrifting like a gud'n

 

Yeah......I had an AWESOME day today even though it was a wet day, very glad I had 4wd in the 21Turbo Quadra - had it sideways lots....overcooked it once on the exit of Coppice and spun it 360deg, stuck it back in gear & off we went again (Sorry Linsay......brown thong time!!).....had another 'moment' at Redgate, came into it far too quick, on the brakes as I turned in & knew what was going to happen....managed to just get a wiggle on & get it back!!!

Think the old French shed surprised a few people today.....roll on the next track day, got a few more mods to get to keep the old girl reliable....namely an oil cooler....as the oil was getting a bit warm & thin towards the end of the sessions!!!!

 

Was frigging cold and wet there, but an enjoyable day

Jake I'm surprised that you haven't learnt how to spell Donington yet, the amount of times you've been there!!!

I'm glad that I sold my pass on last night, as I would have been steaming about the awful standard of driving in Novices..... 2 particular cars spring to mind, the ones who stopped the sessions in the morning and the same ones who didn't use their mirrors & wouldn't move over for much faster cars down the pit straight.

 

your 21 is 4x4 ???

 

......

 

Thank you

 

Yeah....the one I had out today was, I've got another one (blue one in sig) thats 2WD.....unfortunately the power split is 60/40 (front/rear)....it could of done with being the other way round as the back end needed to come round a bit better as the front was pushing the car wide at times....especially on the start/finish line 'S' bends!! Still all good fun tho!!!

 

Well I thought it was a top day apart from a couple of the drivers out there, as for people knocking Dingy you want to get your car out on track in those conditions and see how easy it is I followed Dingy round for a couple of laps and his car control was awesome sideways all the time, it was a fun day and to me that is what a track day is all about

 

Glad you all had a good day, sounds like you had loads of fun

Where's the pics?

 

Had a wicked day

Dingy, apart from the missing your car sounds f..kin awesome

Daz, what can i say, loved watching you every time you was out

Also daz my mate said you made his day with the fire work show/drift over-taking move of the truck on the M42.
He was in the matt black Mk1 Jetta that let you in

Apart from that some wicked cars out there and some wickid driving to go with it, top day

 

Sorry mate but if you changed the tyres you might get some proper times LOL T1-R's are FUCKING DOG SHIT......

 

Gav - was disappointing about the missfire but not been able to sort it. Needs some new leads i reckon.....

 

Had a good day myself, only spectating though but gave me chance to get plenty of footage.

Daz's sideways is awesome, fair play !

Dingy your car rocks, shame you had so little traction, heard your comment about having to move the accelerator pedal

Loads of other nice cars about, RS6's looked very fast and so did that Porsche !

Well done to everyone for sticking it out in such bad weather.

Clips to follow shortly I hope

 

Dingy, i don't care what others think, you have a wicked car there, shame you couldn't get grip though

 

Was a great day....

Very enjoyable watching everyone having fun...

 

Had a top day first track day i the Saph and went alot better than i thought i would tbh. Snapped actuator bracket on the way so was bodged with zip ties, which got me through the day[thanks Martin J], just ment i had to run a little less boost.

Came off at Redgate and slid along the grass for what seemed like a week, but no harm done. Also took a detor down the Melborne loop Other than that just nice getting to know the car a bit more. I know i wasnt very quick but i dont really care tbh had a really good laugh and thats what i went to do.

So many entertaining cars today but the ones that stood out where the 2 MKII's, the 200sx, but the Dolly just made me laugh everytime it came down the pit straight.

Nice to put some names to faces B9 KOS, Trevcoss, The Diva, Sticker Paul and a load more.

P.S. Sorry if held anyone up at any points did try to shift out of the way when ever i could.

 

the question is, when will we spectators see you having fun round the track?

 

did they come 4x4 then some of them ? or is it a retro fit ? and from what if so ?

 

Its a Qudra

 

I didn't know it was 4x4 either LOL

To be fair with the escort the handling was very scary, was drifting too easy for a slippy as foook donnington but its nice to get some use out of it wet or dry

 

IS it fook its a quadra

 

 

fuckin mint day god i luv it wet.

 

Yeah.....theres only about 50 Quadra's left in the UK, out of about 125 Quadras that where actually released over here!!

Not retro fit at all - all factory!!!

 

..............and the trackdays!!! BUM BUM TISH!!!!

 

Was a good day bit dissapointed on the clutch cable snapping missing the last session as it was drying Slightly i may have been able to use 2 bar
M42 drifting
Whens the next one
Lindsy you have first pass ride ...
