Default brandshatch trackday!!! !!Wow!!

what can i say, fookn amazing, no it was better than that! if you missed out!! If there is another1 soon, £99 and you get 3hrs of unlimited track use(depending on 'ford reliability') its byfar the best experiance and i probably cant explain just how gd it was!! Also, this is what made my day, i got too go out in that rs200(as passenger) for 20mins, this is the one with all those records for quickest sprint times etc or you may have seen it at trax doing 3sec 0-60!!! i still have a headache from the geforce, that thing has a hell of alot of torque!!! Il post vids and pics soon so watch this space

oh theres more i forgot to download page2!! Mines the red one, i drove an allround 380mile and 4 x 20mins track sessions giving it everything, i even got black flagged!! It was pissn down half of the day and the track was under water, still gd fun but i managed to spin off once, one scarey moment at the end of the finish straight just hitting 110mph, in the rain, this lotus thing missed his braking point and span paddock hill bend only couple of car lengths in front, he was looking at me going down the hill but luckly he went off into the gravel!!!! Even managed to pass a 3dr cossie

I saw you floating about Nick, I wanted to have a chat with you about my front cover feature lol, but you disappeared after our drivers briefing lol


I hope your water leak wasn't too bad.



Casper - Maybe you should have another read of my thread lol

Nah nothing serious, it split the header tank on the rollers a while back and it was added to the list of things to do but I never quite got there.
I was out with one of the instructors and was having a few issues selecting gears, I'd only fitted the box the day before and think the selector shifted slightly whilst battering the shit out of it round the track
We came in and jumped in one of the Megane turbos ( Excellent car by the way – did I just admit to liking a Renault ) and left my car in the pit lane to bubble away to itself, only to come back to find the bonnet up and marshalls round it with fire extinguishers. They saw a bit of steam and thought it was on fire Wouldn't let me back out either

Drop me a PM or an email (nthomas@unity-media.com ) with your details and I'll see what we can do

Cheers Tony.T, i was seeing red(that ferrari), i wanted to get passd that guy so bad, earlier in the day he was taking it easy but he said he had a few lessons and buy the end he was going pretty gd, the thing powered away down the finish straight so i was always working hard to catch him back up else where, started making big mistakes towards the end of me session, like nearly spinning down paddock hill

Didnt get chance to see you booting around PFnick, howd you find it? I needed more topend and my brakes too last longer, other than than handling was spot on, only had 20psi in my tyres


nxt track day is 2nd dec, apparently theres going to be a different format used throughout the day????
