the trackday is tomorrow, so i guess the car in the wall must be a drunken carpark accident rather than track based, or someone didnt pull the handbrake enough ?????????????????????

Yes just a handbrake slippage after things cooled down. Took a while to extract it but he should make the track tomorrow.

Well that was awesome! 325 miles and 4 tanks of fuel later.... Dry and 20 degrees made things a bit different from the last visit. No damage sustained apart from an awol rear numberplate. Definitely coming back later this year. Video footage to follow

That's great.

Glad people totally disregarded my risk-averse approach to use of regular tyres :thumbsup

Words cant describe that few days. Will post some pics when I get a chance.
Great company thanks Stu and Neil.
Was a little drunk so took me a while before I figured out why the Exige at the hotel was parked on the same wall as me :oops:
The track itself was mind blowing and my little car was unbelievably fast.

The car was so much better than It is at knockhill :thumbsup Took a few laps with Stu to learn the track and loads myself but by the end of the day I was ragging it. Then seeing if I could match Stu160's 135 tuts on the straight became my days challenge :thumbsup

Out of interest Scotty/Neil, what were you lap times round Spa when racing, not that we would have a clue of ours, we were on a track day, and cant get times, but we did have a conversation with a German in the bar and he was claiming some times to us in his cars. We did time the cars the next day, and they were nowhere near what he said, may have had traffic, but there were no overtaking rules, just a testing session, overtake anywhere.

Cheers
