So on Thursday 23rd June we took Dave for his first all day open pitlane session!
We went to Cadwell Park and took our Dad with us, this was a joint birthday and fathers day present for him to let him drive the track car.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the day! Large variety of cars, a few offs and good banter with the other people there.
Between us we did 65 laps of the track, it was the most hard work I've ever done for track driving so far, the circuit is narrow, twisty and so intricate in parts!
The car performed so well, took a lot of abuse. We were quick in a straight line but this track really highlighted the handling shortfalls against some of the other cars. Though a couple of Clio's were running slicks!
Our latest sticker, VTEC farting unicorn in rainbow vinyl!
Sound testing, 105db limit and we made 105db!
After my Dad took a trip on the grass!
Rain tyres
Semi slicks
Cooling off.
Track drying out, too much for the wets!
Old skool Astra, bloke bought in from the Netherlands a week before the track day!
The three loons and Dave.
