Greekman Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Another track day is finished..... But god it was fab!!!!! Cadwell Park is a brilliant track and such a good fan if you are brave enough.... Nice and dry...not too busy....so the hood was mostly down....now i need 4 new PS2s and yes new brakes!!! Unfortunately the EBC turbo grooves and yellow pads didnt make it today....and thats after 5000 miles and 2 track days... same for the PS2s... Great day in any case...cheers Steve! You always make me feel sooooo welcome!!! Nice Pug and driving by the way....i think i need to loose some weight if i want to keep up with you next time....you had the 888s as well.... A few pics for the fellow Z owners are included....pls notice the sidewall twist of the front PS2s.... and thats with 42psi when boiling hot!!!

He said you looked very quick around the track and he took some pics he's going to email me if you want any more? I would never say no to pics of my Z!!! I remember a couple of clios 197 and i think a white megane 225...dont remember as i was too focused on mad driving.... was overtaken by a westfield, an ariel atom and steve's pug....dont remember anybody else overtaking me and that includes M3's, all the renaults, fiestas and focuses STs, a caterham....(that actually span round in front me on a very fast lap with steve following but we both acted really quickly....lool) and all sorts of other cars.... People came to me to ask whether the car was modified and stuff and one of them said that he loved the sound of it!!! I was really chuffed.... Before i go i went on the track for 6 laps with a guy who had a golf gti and wanted to see what i was doing and i could go that fast....showed him my heal-toe technique and he felt badly sick 6 laps later... dont think he went on the track again....sorry Keith....

Zee Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Nice pics mate, Cadwell Park is just up the road from me, never thought about taking my zed up there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsoulby Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Some cool pics, it's only down the road from me aswell, would love to have a go but wouldn't like the cost afterwards, brakes, tyres maybe more knowing my luck, we should arrange a Lincolnshire mini meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 yup for sure! Whereabouts in lincs are you, I was in Louth but just recently moved to the mecca of entertainment "Alford"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 would love to have a go but wouldn't like the cost afterwards, brakes, tyres maybe more knowing my luck, we should arrange a Lincolnshire mini meet That is true....start from petrol which was £80 (not including going there and back..average mpg 7.7!!!) and then start adding brakes...tyres...clutch...wheel bearings...anything... however, if you keep the ESP on you ll be fine....i never deactivated it....didnt need to... I think that a proper 'drive like there is no tomorrow' track day in a Z is probably about £1000 all inclusive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Glad to see you had a good day Christos and I was impressed by your pace out there even if you couldn't keep with the mighty Pug We were really happy with the way the day ran as there were no queues and the track stayed dry throughout Here are a couple more photos - Steve H TA-OL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Our next trackday is at Mallory on Saturday Sept 5th so I'll be posting details soon but don't forget we are back at Oulton for another driftday next month so if you fancy doing this - just CLICK HERE Steve H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernmc Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Absolutely love this track - vs Donnington for my favourite. I'm always a bit wary of booking days early/late in the year as it's a real swine when damp. Looks like you had a dry one though. A couple of my pics from last year - such a beautiful place too. Must keep an eye on events here in future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
