Andymaac,

I have driven on track once or twice and know how close things can get. If you genuinely believe and from the video tape have evidence that your driving wasn't at fault then thats fine. From my point of view it looked like u were going to come through us and for no reason i could fathom, especially considering it wasn't even supposed to be the 'expert' session i thought a little more space would have been a bit more respectful.

I do feel a little hypocritical having had full several page threads about my driving on the Subaru board and Evo board and Rsowners board before. needless to say I also wouldnt admit any fault at all

stevie, now what did you say to me about arguing on a forum

an almost impossible task almost tony

the extra drivers had to take the same class as the main driver so we can keep the 25 per group

to use your example here....

if we would have swapped your car from c to a and immediately let it go out we end up with an extra A, dependant on who gets through to the pits first, depends who gets told at the pit exit to track "sorry theres 25 out already, wait there please", bit unfair to be telling someone that who has paid up and done nowt wrong like. they then have to wait for someone to pull off before being let back on and so on. as it was we got bollocked for letting too many out!!! - i let the 25 group C cars through the garages to the track then the rs200 goes out from the bottom pit garage and im to blame lol

this in mind we are only booking 70 cars on track next year to allow 5 "guest" cars

if you or anyone has any suggestions, then shoot away

yeah it was happening all afternoon too. i got it in the ear from the novice drivers that the loon in the 200 kept unerving them by whizzing past!

we did the best we could and on the whole its not too bad if these are the only things people are complaining about. couldnt be helped that some knob jockeys were pulling over on the left to let cars past!!

matt, forgot to catch up with you before i left, many many thanks for your help pal i had to keep pulling away from the paddock as i couldnt be in the million places i needed to be at once i wouldnt have left it with you if i thought you couldnt cope so take that as a compliment lol though you may aswell admit you liked having a walkie talkie

neil, im not taking the comments as "criticisms" as such, some things could of course been better, some things pissed expectations, swings and roundabouts really you organise the paddock next year and i'll gap your plugs properly

re the rs200, i doubt he would have attended had we sessioned his laps, he was cool as hell taking people out in it for charity, he even took passenger rides up the 0-60 too oh and won the 4*4 group with 3.61

the passenger rides that people paid for in that and all other cars raised £600 to charity
