Top day

Good to see the usual suspects again and great to see some new people coming along too - anyone not addicted yet?

Thanks to Dave (Dembo) for letting me know my brakes were fading - seem to be closing up on him a bit there

Rich, no probs for the passenger laps, next time take your own car out

Chris & Bex (RX8) asked me to pass on their thanks - they had a great day, I think they may come along to another one

I think 4 laps at a time were probably a bit too much - Funny how the brakes are still smoking even after a complete cool down lap

Thanks to Bachi (Harsh) for trusting me with the M3 and for providing the lunchtime entertainment with the MotoGP on

After her initial aprehension during the briefing she did really enjoy herself and has even been mentioning "on the next one . . . "

As has been said, most people were pretty good at checking their mirrors, but as Simon says you'll always get one or two. Mine was the silver Elise, I was with him for over half a lap and had to back off at the "straight" chicane near the pits. Ended up having to flash him before he finally moved.

All in all I had a great day, would have prefered a little more tread on the rears, but at least it didn't rain

True, very true!

I suppose the point I was making is that most of us "normal S2000 owners" are happy to pay

I was really hacked off with my tyres on one stint - Dembo was closing in on me on the corners and I just couldn't turn the car in as well as earlier in the morning. After consultation with Chris Franklin, we noted that I had been out for 7-8 laps when Dembo loomed large in the rear view mirror - I think we know why my tyres were past their best

But a great one for people to get addicted to if you're a trackday company

Dembo

That was my worst brake fade of the day too. The pedal went almost to the floor, and I had to pump them a couple of times to get anything. I guess brake fade is relative: even in that state they're better than stock.

I'm just glad you started turning or else I'd have had a silver S bonnet emblem

So where are all the photos?

I forgor my camera... but if I had remembered it, I would have put all the pics up by now.

Calling Dave! Where are you?

Dembo

Shouldn't buy those cheap tyres. I'd done about 7 or 8 laps by then too. I never had any problem with the tyres getting too hot, just brake fluid.

I did let lots of air out in the morning, to (I thought) 32 psi whilst hot. But when Chris measured them they were more like 36psi. But I think I've definitely been running too high on track, usually going for 32 or 34 psi cold.
