Thanks Steve, appreciated! :thumbsup

Last couple of visits we have eaten in the pub/restaurant next door to the Premier Inn, decent food and short stagger to bed! :oops: :lol:

I am in Premier Inn both nights, but will see you at the bar in the Raddison Blu at Donington on the Sunday evening before heading into Dony to Orissa for the curry.

Monday night could be worth booking a table at the next door pub/inn as it is usually busy for meals. (I will try calling later today and reserve the large table at the entrance which usually seats the other attendees from Lotus On Track :lol: )

I have just reserved a table for 12 people (can adjust by a few if necessary and after response from all wanting to sit at the table) at the Blu Cap which is next door to the Premier Inn East Sandiway for Monday 27th of October for 19:00.

Below is the link for bar meals and if you want to send me directly your order, I will forward our choices to make it easier for us all. The last few years have been a bit of a nightmare for food.

Totally agree Ed - that was an epic trip!

Good to see everyone. Feels like it's starting to become more of an annual catch up than a trackday!

You can tell everyone is getting older, and wiser? No late night bar or car session - not even sure we had much of a war of attrition on the car front, apart from my attempts to break various suspension components on my Caterham! (and even that got fixed!)

Awesome guys, superb event. :)

Actually Andy there would probably have been a few 'showstoppers' if they were anything other than TFL Caterhams...gearlever coming off in my hand for example. Phil had a new assy in the truck and it was on within 15mins!
