Were any of you guys in Bat 4?
If you were, I followed you round for a couple of laps, then you let me past, and you followed me round for a couple of laps.
I was in the silver audi s3

[QUOTE=GavB,Oct 26 2008, 07:50 PM] All things considered the weather was great today. Just a few very short showers but with the wind and the sunshine the track dried very quickly. I particularly enjoyed the afternoon and finishing with the sun setting over the sea for the last session. I liked the circuit layout, and the masses of run off almost all round the circuit was confidence inspiring - even if my brake pads weren't! Didn't like the lack of a petrol station, I put 48 litres in in Bangor, that was a nervous 20 miles.
Great pics!!
Now I know what I have to look forward to when Im brave enuf to do a track day.

The track was easily better for a caterham than for something quite so heavy but it definitely aquitted itself well
Have you remapped yours or is it totally stock?

its completely stock, have been considering a remap , but not got round to it.
It was ok, but to be honest it was a boring car to drive on track, too easy. Its much more interesting on the road. It went faster than I was expecting though.
I would normally have been in my caterham, but the weather when I left manchester was dreadful, so I decided on the S3. I'll not bother tracking it again though.
You should have just come over and asked for a ride.

Good weekend, but I'm wishing I'd done the extra day - the weather here at least is great. And the M6 was no fun at all getting home. I'm completely knackered today.
Who was broken down on the A55 on the way back? I felt guilty for not stopping, but with my petrol gauge on zero when I left the track I had my own problems . And I was doubly worried as it seem T-mobile don't think Angelsey is worth covering, so I couldn't have even called the AA.
I'd filled up at lunchtime; can't believe I got through a whole tank in just the afternoon.

Great weekend and many thanks to Rich for his usual high standard of organisation and thanks to Jonny and the Bookatrack team for a perfect day and not one red flag!!!
The circuit was amazing and Mrs Muttly and I had great fun putting another 180 track miles on the car and using one and half tanks of fuel!!
Great weekend with good company it's what makes S2KUK such a unique forum.
Come back to Brizzle the pretty way , Llanberis pass, Nant Gwynant, Harlech, Barmouth, Dolgellau, Machynlleth then Buylth Wells, Abegavenny, Monmouth, The Wye valley, Chepstow then over the bridge and home!
A trip of 230 miles and only 4 of them motorway.
The perfect way to end a good weekend!
See you all at Donington!!

It was a running joke for us most of the day that Tony's daughter put a better show of driving on than him though it was his first time on a track.
It was an excellent track, I would have to go back and try Cadwell again before concluding whether it was better or not. I haven't had such a lasting buzz from doing a trackday since Cadwell, and Anglesey's a bit more accessible for us.
This was the first time using the Dixcels on track too - once they're up to temperature they're outstanding. There's a lot left on the pads but the brake pedal's quite soft now, though I haven't changed the fluid for a while.
Sounds like a good drive back for you muttly, I used to use some of those roads regularly a few years back.

You'll probably find they're just a little bit glazed. Mine were a bit "soft" once they'd cooled down at the end of the day, and grumbling a bit, but a few hard stops on the M56 and they were good as ever. But changing the fluid doesn't hurt.
