I've got a mate coming with me who's never been to a trackday, used to have a vx220 and now a z4m,

Would be good to get him out in a few different cars and convince him he needs trackdays in his life :-)
I'll be there in my luminous yellow kit car and happy to take anyone out who asks :thumbsup

There used to be a Webcam to click on at KH but can not find it.

Also FAQ says that they have fuel, when did that happen?

Tried that Ross but no go.

Then I noticed "click to use flash" but too late now.

yup we did, a renault had a pee of fuel and a red flag until cleaned up. other than that it was a beautiful day from the start... oh and kingers car a minor pee too, but seemed to be a leaking coolant pipe so headed he home early to be on the safe side. i had a slight butt clenching moment when a light blue exige came out of the pit staight along side me (was not expecting it at 110mph ). A marshal came across to me later and apologised for releasing the exige from the pit at the wrong time (eg. straight into my path). overall great day and well organised as always. Homeward bound on a train just now as dropped my car off at Murrays for some warranty work. :cheers
