That's right, a little un-nerving but it was easy enough to avoid.

I suspect that the car had been hired for the day along with an instructor as a special treat or somesuch.

I've had a couple of close ones. A 350z span in front of me at Spa and then bounced off the barriers and back onto the track in front of me. I think Dembo enjoyed that one

Also had a Caterham do the same at Combe.

Just shows what can happen when you too close on track.

indeed MB, its all well and good pushing up behind someone to show them you're faster but if they mess something up it could get ugly =/

si - i think you were right there, when i was getting my pics off of the bat guys i saw 3 guys that seemed well off talking about how good the day and the car was and they were talking about the gt3rs so suspect you were correct. certainly didn't look like it was being driven by someone who knew how to handle it very well.

hey, lets not be too harsh on the spinners hehe

Just looking into it, H.

It's a difficult time now as it's heading to winter, and we already have the Outlon with Trackaction coming up.

I will aim to do something at Donnington next though.

Donnington is a great track...I did the Wishes for Kids charity track day there; I would like to go back again this time without the screaming kids in the passenger seat
