Re: Trackday - Oulton Park - 12th Jan 2007

NO Iam not ready to drive on a track yet, but mainly the car needs new wheels as there not 100% then ill think about going on myself.
You can more than welcome drive me and scare me on the track though. LOL.
No my uncles son is doing a driving course his only 13 yr old. And then his doing some other thing being able to drive or be in a clio 197 or a cosworth, not 100% sure but ill be there.

Re: Trackday - Oulton Park - 12th Jan 2007

I'm free on Friday so I will be popping down to spectate. Current weather predictitions look a bit bleak - Heavy Rain & 23mph+ winds! But a warm 11oC.

So a lot of sideways action I think.

The weather was dull - but it did not rain! (Wish I'd paid to drive now.)

Here's a picture of Shifty about to hit a UFO (camera artifact)

Attachment 12793

I needed a faster, sharper (better!) lens for the poor light (a 200mm F2.8 would be nice)

Vrs.mad hopefully when your car is run in (mine too) and girlfiend permitting we can see you at a trackday. As for insurance for trackdays I think there have been one or two post so have a search.
