Default donnington track day today

had an awesome day at donnington today-havent been there since last december(in my m5).

it was extremely slippy and icy in places in the morning especially at the bottom of the craner curves but as it dried out it was awesome.

being a full noise day there were some nice cars there.
a ruf 911,a foreign gt3,a 430 scud,olly clark in the impreza,some ridiculously quick radicals.
my mates were also there in
911 gt3,bmw csl,impreza sti v8.

i even got the slicks on for the last few sessions-amazing going flat out through the craner curves in 4th gear!
kept getting fuel starvation though coming down craner for 3/4 seconds even with a third of a tank full-very frustrating!

cant wait to go again in december.cant believe i was considering selling this to buy an rs6-no way!ive got some video coming of me catching and passing the 911 gt3 and a 911 carrera 4 amongst other stuff-very satisfying for an old m3

a couple of pics;






where i spent most of the day.....in front!


like this pic-looks moody

Needs another sticker now


"The car in front is a Toy.. BMW"

Looks a good day for a joy ride but why no passengers - was no one willing to get in ?

Fix the fuel starvation - thats not good.
