was a good day and one of the best track days i've been too, no real big crashes just a couple of people going of then getting a bit muddy and a few getting stuck in gravel but staff quick to get them sorted and within 10 mins everyone back out enjoying themselves, lads with red escort looked to have a slight problem but got themselves all sorted and joined us for the afternoon, thought the best sounding car was the little renault clio rs sounded great on full chat and the civic sounded like a firework rocket going of as it passed you

Whilst I agree, it was a good day and given the conditions the track wasn't off limits for much of the day at all which is great. That said, the standard of driving (mainly people not checking their mirrors) was the worst I've seen for a while.

I couldn't take the kitcar (wimp) and took this instead.



Great pics, thanks for this one

Here is some in-car footage, I will upload some more soon.

Cheers Sinbad, it was only the second time I have driven it. I bought it for bits and will soon be taking all the goodies off to donate to a virtually 'as new' 180sx I am building up.
