I shall be there too.

Is it just me, or have they not sent out the attendance packs yet?

I got the scrutineering sheet the other day, but the note with it said the full pack would arrive "in the next few days".  Saturday's post has been and gone, but no sign.

I shall just go.  Haven't decided which car yet - I'll leave that tillMonday and look at the weather.  I changed the brake fluid in the CSL today though, so that will make it rain on Monday!

Craig, I would be surprised but if they are short of numbers then you could be lucky....

I'll be just turning up, I got no passes, but then I am not planning on taking my car out on track, also I got no passenger ride pass this year either.

Just turning up to say hello to a few of you I know, maybe meet some new friends? Also got to meet up with Martin (TrackM3) and collect my spoiler.

Last year I remember turning up, free to get in. Is this still the same tomorrow?

I shan't be early either!

I'll tell you what, I'll drive your Cecotto and you can be the passenger!

Sorry! Hope you're not in too much pain

What a great day, hat's off to Alex in his ex Cecotto 87 DTM car, the rain wasn't going to stop him playing, Rare car or not he isn't afraid to drive it hard .

Nice to meet up with Cecotto Kev at last, hope you had a safe drive home ? i couldn't see a thing after my windows misted up from a 1/2 inch of water in my footwell and the dtm mirrors having no vision, it was harder getting home than doing the track day itself ?

30th of November at Brands next, whos going ?
see you all there

Martin
Oops i went and got an E36 !

Had a great time there, too....

Rained loads just after lunch..hard enough to stop the sessions for 30mins or so while the standing water was cleared off the track. However, despite being a bit apprehensive about going out again in the wet, I put road tyres (Avon ZZ3s in place of the R888s) on the car and had some great fun laps!

Have a litle job sheet, now, to get the best out of the car for the next track day...

He had an issue with one of his split-rims...the bolts sheared causing a blow-out on a slick ..
But then it rained and fortunately he had his wets available!

Was really giving it some in the wet, though....The car, and the 2 owners of, are off to the 'ring for coming weekend and it was a good test, I suspect!
