Just checked Natsoft from yesterdays Circuit Club Track Day!

Thanks Mat

Actually that was one of the most frustrating track-days I've ever had. I had <10 clear laps all day and those were basically on passenger sessions which were untimed.... that 1:15:95 was actually my first session and on a lap I caught upto a Liberty RS turbo and was held up too.....

First session was randomly overtaking cars and then stuck behind the liberty for 3 laps, second session was randoms cars then stuck behind a R33 GTR V-spec for 3 laps..then someone had a massive off and it locked all the cars together. 3rd session I was blocked for approximately 7 laps by a burgundy mx5 running 1:20's+. I actually got alongside him on the back-straight, honked, waved and he still never turned and cut right across in front.... So I had to break hard. Couldn't even pull into the pits for a fly-by because the next session lined up early....if I slowed down I had a bunched up field I'd just left behind....

80 cars is too many for a track-day.....

I cannot wait for the next mx5 club trackday. You appreciate the effort and organisation so much more when you leave home. Blue flags and just plain respect of other drivers to let people past is sorely lacking out there sometimes....I can definitely go faster :mrgreen:

Have they turned into old granny drivers who only take their cars out on Sundays (and not Mondays). But then again, I suppose it must be too hurtful for Craig to see the difference in times that can be done in an NA and a Camel. :mrgreen:


Well I work EVERY weekend and EVERY Monday... :evil:

Well, despite the busy circuit, I had a good day and managed to set a PB (it helps when your slow, no one to catch up to! :D ). Here's the few MX5's I managed to catch (on camera!), may be they are here?

Annual leave is for pissing it up overseas with a foreign girl sitting on each knee! :D
