Hi Steve

I've not been to one of your days for a while, but one thing that I know another trackday company do, in the briefing, specifically regarding running out of petrol - this is completely unforgivable and avoidable. They impose a fine of £50 on anyone who runs out on track, that £50 goes to the Marshalls association. I think this is a great idea, and should always be mentioned in the briefing. You may do something similar but I don't remember hearing it in any of your briefings

That's a fair one and Jonny generally does mention it on his days; I don't include it in mine because whilst it is a particularly annoying mistake, I can't remember the last trackday where I actually saw it happen (despite either attending, running or instructing at about 50 trackdays a year).

I must admit that Friday did make me wonder whether a no-excuses sin bin would be a good idea for any red flag offenders where they are kept off track for an hour if they cause a red but I as a trackdayer I wonder if it would come across as rather mean to start the day with that kind of policy

How about I just come along and offer a swift kick in the nuts for anyone being a tit?

Problem solved!

Quick vid - only one I had is of my 5th lap as the rest of them i've discovered the camera fell over like this:





So not one of the fast laps unfortunately! Not that I was pushing on a trackday.

Nice driving Mark, liking how you used all of the track and nice lines!

The car sounds epic!

Is it really that loud in the cab or has the mic exaggerated the sound

That is genuine Dave, It really sounds like that!
great video Mark, as I have struggled to describe the sound to people!
Goes right through your helmet too
