Had a great day, cheers to John for the usual excellent organisation.

Started off pretty eventfull as me and Andy followed shoomer up the pit straight to witness an F1 style plume of steam shoot into the air from his car.
Hope it's not as bad as it looked but it was a pretty spectacular failure <BG>

Had a bloody close call on the last lap when a scooby spun going over the chicane. They'd been in front of me for a couple of laps and weren't for moving over and I could see that one coming so was ready for it but I don't think the 10+ cars behind were expecting it and I thought they were all about to plough into me! Thinfourth was right behind me and I saw him stop in plenty of time then saw the red Golf GTi swerving off into the gravel so I decided to get out of there as fast as possible!

Then, right at the end, whilst there were red flags out for the stuck Golf, I got overtaken by someone in an EVO, apparently so they could try and slide round the hairpin. Have to assume they'd have been black flagged were it not the end of the session :roll:

Best news of the day though, no stupid tyre stacks and just some cones instead :thumbsup

p.s. Someone asked me for a pax lap and I said I'd get them later as I was about to try out my camera on the mount. I did try looking for you later but couldn't see you. Give me a shout again next time :)

No problem Paul, I hope you have it sorted soon.


I even managed to collect a possible autotest donation on the way back.

Mixed day for me, think my brake discs are warped as I was getting a bit of vibration through the steering wheel under braking, track took a while to dry out and never felt it could push really hard at any time. Possiblynot helped by an embarrassing spin on the warm up laps :oops:

Eventually the day was cut short by the MIL light coming on, fault codes are PO138 and PO141, thanks to AndyG with some help on that. Light came back on again this evening so I think I'll seek Dan's advice before next weeks trip to Donnington.
