I've never been when the weather was so good, it was awesome every day.

The track was busy but it wasn't affecting the fast cars as they just fly past you, the accidents or yellow flags were obviously slowing everyone down though.

I'm going back out on the 29th August with some local mates so fingers crossed for nice weather

yeah my car was shite, broke down, wheels feel off, centrelock bolts came loose, engine is now rattling a bit.

never made it on the ring as the bloody thing developed a few strange noises after doing a slow 65mph the whole way to the ring.

oh well, guess i'll be breaking it.

was a good trip for everyone else though













P.S Dont believe everything you read on the net.

luke car was awesome, aboslutely faultless, brakes stood up to the punishment, but the rear end springs were far far to soft, which we knew they would be but still was flying round there and i was really really shocked at the handling of it, although i had a few hairy moment after following the pace of a gt3 rs threw aa few bends and quickly realised it wasnt going to happen as all 4 wheels got light and the car jumped a few inches to the right at the crest of a a hill.

Carlo, your not wrong the car is absolutely filthy.
