The car does keep surprising me, even after a year of ownership.
This week i have been from Hampshire to Aberystwyth, Oulton Park, Workington and back to Hampshire. The car is comfortable for a long motorway or a-road run and is also great fun on a track
This is the first proper UK track i have done, Bedford was great but in the back of your mind there are such big run off areas it doesn't feel like a racing circuit. I know that Oulton Park is known for having a couple of corners which can bite back but luckily the weather stayed dry all day. The Goodyear tyres are a big improvement over the original Bridgestones, imo, BUT they can't hack that many laps before getting too hot and starting to struggle, if i continue doing track days i will look for a second set of alloys.
I went with a mate (Clio 182), his dad and his uncle (Elise 135), managed to get a garage when we arrived.
A few offical pics of mine
I managed to get a few passenger laps in the Elise, it is very nicely set up with Ohlins adjustable suspension, Yoko AD048R tyres and uprated brakes. That was an eye opener at where i was slow on track, but the bucket seats are harnesses give you soo much more feeling about what is happening.
The only casualty was the Clio, sadly the drivers side rear wheel bearing decided to give way on the exit of druids, luckily we managed to get to the side of the track with no damage or spinning.
I only had the gopro on for 1 of my outings,

I would love to do another day at Oulton Park, i just wish it was a little closer.
