Great effort. Were you doing donuts in the car park afterwards ;-). Check out Rotational Steering. That will add further confidence and control.

Campbell, there was a couple of cones set up in the paddock to practise autotest skills on the way back to the queue.

Hello mate - I rocked up briefly in the manky blue S2 and had a chinwag with Stuart and Dom, then shot off to to what I was actually supposed to be doing on the day. Car looked tidy :thumbsup

Welcome! :)

You were fair getting the hang of chucking your car about round the cones

Kames is a brilliant track for everyone, the single car format is excellent

So it was a great introduction for me to doing this kind of thing. I wonder if there would be enough novices on here who would be interested in taking their cars to kames perhaps once every couple of months on a Saturday. Not checked this out in more detail yet but if eacc do £400 for a Saturday divided by approx 10 folk.... I would be right up for that???? Anyway if u want to see a novice video... Here it is (if it does not link, sorry I'm a bit techno rubbish.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xg7p92 ... load_owner
Couldnt agree more. Sadly i've sold my VX but i did a number of days at kames and it taught me so so so much.

Which then translated into much more confidence on the road and at KH.

Spread the word :lol: :thumbsup
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Thanks everyone, bored everyone at work today with tales of my weekend. A few good photos from the day too. Hopefully I will be able to do this kind of thing again. I may even try a day at Knockhill at some point. I will keep an eye for future dates. Thanks for the driving tips too, will check it out.... Cheers Stewart

Think I spotted you on A77 around back of 6, passed you in a silver Merc and flashed the lights but don't think you noticed.
