Bloody great day and thank god it didnt rain :yahoo:

A few pics and then a video which you will see that the 350z is probably not suited to the tight/narrow tracks which these events

chuck at you,but hell it gets your ticker going :scare:

Castle Coombe next in july!

Back to Gurston yesterday for a national A meeting which attracts some of the fastest cars in the Sprint/Hillclimbe calendar.

 

Thanks once again to Dave and Rich {Harryjax.Choptop} for your support.

A few pics of the meeting and thanks to Dave{Bailey} :lol: and his video skills on my phone a clip of me slithering off the start line!

Hi guys.

Went to Castle Coombe on monday for and afternoon trackday which probably for the best as it peed it down all morning and a lot of cars spun off!

Saw a very badly damaged S2000 Honda which looked like he had come off sideways, hit the armco and then continued sliding along it as the car was completely flat from nose to tail and the two wheels looked like someone had run a chain saw round the rims

 

Here are a frew pictures which the roving professional snapper took.

Also here is the link to the two 5 min videos i took.

Check out that crazy mini in the first one towards the end of the clip who was all over the place which as you can see made me rather nervous when it came to overtaking him.

I swear he only ever had two wheels on the ground at any part of the lap

Very cool Andy and the car seemed to be handling the circuit with ease. B)

 

Seemed nice and quite on track too really. Not like some of the usual track days I've seen/been on up there.

How much did it cost to do that?

Cheers mate.

The good thing about msv trackdays at the coonbe is you can go am/pm or full day.

£199 full day or £119 half.

To be honest if your not sharing the car then a half day is enough time and also you still come home with some rubber left :lol:

Still managed to get through £90 fuel :scare:

If anyone is interested in popping down i have a couple of paddock tickets going free worth £12 each.

 

Up early on sunday to head up to Silverstone for the Trax show which was bloody amazing last year apart from the afternoon rain!

I wish the organisers of these events consulted each year with their calendars as i also could have gone to Wiscombe Park for a speed hill climb along with Gurston down!!!
