Yeh, don't think I'd do another sessioned trackday. :roll: The first couple of morning sessions were the worst. More like a procession than a trackday with no-one wanting to pull in. :x

A full trackday where I only used a tank and a half of fuel is unheard of. :lol:

But had nothing better to do between Xmas and N'Year. :D

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:

It was only the first 2 sessiones really. :?

You wouldn't have had the bother I had in passing in the straights so would've been fine. :D
