Finally arrived at 10.30pm after setting off from swindon at 7am!!!

The T5 that was coming with us only managed 5 miles before the turbo seals went!! So the guys in that brought one of there mk4 tdi golfs.

Managed to get stuck in traffic around Brussels for near on 2 hrs!!

Any suffice to say I'm knackered and gotta be up early to empty the car and set the cameras up before we hit the ring!!!

Just off to the Ring now. Did 1 lap before breakfast. 163mph just before Foxhole on Rick's Ring lap timing I Phone app.

Myself, Dave and Nige in our Evos all should be on track within 30 mins.

Thanks for the screen grabs, well spotted guys

Managed to mount my HD camcorder hidden from the Marshall's eyes so should get some good video footage up on Youtube

seriously struggling with driving a 1.4 LHD hire car

m3's engine developed a top end tap on the spirited drive over so pulled off and had it recovered.

on the plus side, the aircon works on the hire car

decided against driving the hire car round, im seriously struggling with mirrors with LHD and its SO slow it would be a serious hazard

Good picture of all of us ready to go lol


I done another 2 laps today in the Evo, getting the hang of it, just going at my own pace and not holding anyone up in the process!

Dave did a really good lap earlier, was very little traffic so pushed on a bit.

I have stopped at hotel for a rest and Si & Nigel have gone out in Si's car for a lap or two and Dave has driven Nigel's up there for Louise to have a couple of laps out.

Oh and the weather out here is amazing! Could not have asked for better!

Nah can do when I'm back as on my iPhone whilst over here.

Quick update.....

Track closed at around 6pm due to a nasty bike accident, just seen the repsol rep cbr1000 pass the hotel on a flat bed. Didn't look good at all.

Propper scorchio here today!! A tad too warm for turbos so straight on it first thing in the morning for a few laps.

had a few passenger laps out today, realy enjoyed all of them!

first a 3x EVO convoy with dave/Sketch/SiB to get sometihng on video, awesome

then a trip round with chip in a Clio172, the guy's certianly calmed down since the last time he drove there very good car that, very good!

then a proper trip round in the clio with lee at the wheel, this man has definately learnt the ring well in all his recent trips! very impressed!

then JC in a Meganne Sport.
WOW - Bloke car pedal!
Used all the right lines that i'd never have the bottle to take properly, used ALL the track and the general car control was awesome.
