Default Palmersport pics from Saturday.

I've done this day LOADS over the years (would do it every week if I could!) but I must say this years program is just AMAZING!!!!

I did it for first time this year on saturday and they really have raised the bar once again!!!!

The new M3 replaces the very boring and frustrating Jag XKR (terribly intrusive Traction control)

Your drives in the M3 and the awesome JP1 and Palmer Jaguar are all now all recorded. The Caterham pursuit thing is now a scoring and timed event. Other than that its much the same as last years event.... bloody amazing!

few pics from the day. I cant wait to get back there and do it all again soon!



































I managed to win the two 'big boys' cars Was well pleased with myself... sadly didnt win the overall trophy this time... mainly due to the fact I clowned around on the Caterham pursuit doing silly donuts as I didnt know it was scoring event this year! whoooops!


Cant wait to get back and try and beat my times!





JUST A FUCKING AMAZING DAY OUT!!!!!!!! was my 18th time

even time for a donut!

Great little Go kart track there as well... didnt take any pics. Was too busy smashing each other to pieces in them

its about £900 but worth EVERY penny. You have NO idea how hard you drive the cars and how fast you can go.

You drive MUCH harder than you do at a trackday for example! and the Single seater and the Jag are REALLY REALLY fast!

We did the GT afternoon package last week. BMW M3 GTP, Caterham, Clio and Porsche. Was fucking awesome.

Your time in the M3 was stonking!! We got a passenger ride in the M3 as we know one of the instructors. Was the bollocks.

Chris (who I work with) was 1st overall and I came 2nd!

Very nice! I would love a go at that, I will have to try and get some cash together and get down there with one of my mates. I wasted that on each round of Time Attack last year and this looks much better.

Christian you missed out the two best cars dude wounder!!!! you need to get back and do the Jp1 and the Palmer jag single seater! that Jp1 time is bit special as well

Bmw time was good huh. First time I had driven it as well... Tony Brewer races touring cars and Formula Palmer Audis.. Nicholas Baird is very successful Radical racer....

I am fat cityboy essex twat! I think they were very surprised to get beat by me

I only came fourth in Caterhams... with a bloody 47.14!!! thats a stonking time. Couldn't believe that got beaten!

what did you do?

Driving standards were sooo high on saturday. Looked like everyone was bloosyt race driver!

Awesome pictures, the JP1 is RAPID, I went out in the 300hp one with the drifter from Apex Performance and he wasn't messing about, the induction noise goes straigh through you !

£900 is more than fair when its not your car, tyres or petrol you need to worry about and your getting the chance to drive so many cars.

Thats mentally good value really, I reckon a trackday in my clio averages 400 quid, so its only twice that and look at the variety of stuff to do!

Yep!!!!

Totally agree. Add up the REAL cost of a trackday and it soon becomes clear just what amazing value it is!!!!

Words cannot describe how hard the instructors push you.... You have NEVER driven harder! Sooooo intense! Such fun!

Incredible day.

3 three course meals I included as well don't forget. No wine though sadly

That looks fucking awesome!

How did you find the M3's? What brakes do they run? I was at knockhill with my mate 2 weeks ago in his new m3 and fuck it was hard on brakes and tyres!
