[Brian J]

Thanks again to John S for excellent day - driving, weather, organisation.

Had to leave at 4.00pm to get back to Glasgow but enjoyed final session chasing Mass in his Club Racer - great fun

Roll on Donington.

Thanks to Ed and Frank for the passenger laps Exige S was amazing . . . I want one! Felt really planted in the corners and I love the whine of the supercharger. Ed . . . what can I say . . . that wee cateringvan is great and that was some quality sideways (and spinny spinny) action at the hairpin!

Good to catch up with a few folk too . . . it's been a while!

Great day.....lotsa fun!

Good to see the usual crowd and some new faces.

Thanks to:
Andy G - Great toy and some good/fun driving
Mass - Great toy (SURERB sound!) and impressed with your skills

Sorry to:
Richie, BigD and Clare.....they know why!

Roll on the next one.
100 miles (or so on track) to a tank of petrol - christian motoring again!!!!!

PS
We found out today why its called a weather FORECAST!

First time on KH for me in a couple of years . . . just popped by in passing for a wee scoot in my wee sisters Exige S (is that what the supercharged one is called ?) . . . nice wee car, the TC interferes with really mullering it (I worked out that something was interfering with my control on lap 2 then realised what it must be) and I think prevents you from dialling out the understeer (hairpin and entry to Macintyres in particular) . . . and I think for me it certainly slows progress a litte and makes the car feel very heavy (being used to he caterham perhaps it is) . . . but nice, quick and grippy and easy to drive . . . that's enough KH for me for a while

Great Day guys,

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Lotus Track Day @ KH today, great bunch of guys, real friendly & the track etiquette was ace. I know I was slow round the track, but just let the guys past on the straights & when I could, & in return they were patient & waited until I moved over for them. Fantastic Fun

I really want to learn how to get thro those bends quick..? I just couldn't get thro quick enough..I might go up for some 1 to 1 training before the next SIDC day.

Would like to get some pax laps in the faster cars next time, you know exiges, caterhams...Atoms..

Cheers,
Pete

great to get a dry day,

I ran low on fuel @ 3.30 and decided to go get fuel, i passed TUT on his way back but i got lost so never made it back.

where are all the petrol stations in fife? what a nightmare...... went for miles before i finally got one

I will be bringing more fuel next time,

About time I posted this year.
Had a great day today despite turning up just after 1 after frantically trying to fix my wiper motor.
Other than that my car was going great, pleased to see my old K series still manages to get me round the track faster than these supercharged toyotas
The laps behind then in front of the club racer (not sure which one it was) and with Dave in his 7 were great fun, not easy trying to keep up with them though

Roll on the next one

I was expecting rain but it stayed dry all day. Lucky!

I did 150 laps today. Used 85ltrs of fuel.

Good too meet some old and new faces. Brian, sorry I couldn't say hello. Campbell (Meatball), it was nice to do some laps with you. Wished we could do a bit more though. May be next time...

I will be there for the next HM. Come and say hi if you are up there.

John, thank you for the great day! I intend to do all the SIDC days this year.

Another great SIDC day, big thumbsup to John Stewart once again for organising a great event. Driving standards seemed good once again, although I think the VX driver who passed me on the right on one of the warm-up laps might have got a bit excited...

Enjoyed my time out on track today, had a lot of fun trying to chase down Mass in the Club Racer, nice to meet you and John, the famous CR twins Good to see the usual turnout, and as always, nice to meet a few new faces.

Will try and edit some of my video footage later, should be plenty of Lotus stuff in there

You could take the TC off by pressing the button for a few seconds. I agree, the car drives better without it.
