I'm not brave enough to actually compete in it ! I know from my rallying days that no matter how much I say i will take it easy once the lights go green the adrenalin takes over ! I decided to see what the track day was like and as a low key version I decided I could keep myself under control .

I was very surprised how tricky it was in the damp and the amount of times I lost traction and had wheel spin on the straight and turns and the difficulty of blind double apex bends and the blind crest before the braking zone on a "double lapper" going from full acceleration at around 80 to full braking and a hairpin right. Unlike normal roads that are designed to be safe, the course is designed to be tricky and difficult, and it was ! Of course Steve you have some experience from the "intro to sprinting" day that we did in 2009

Still plan to buy a second car of some type to compete in but won't be an SRT unfortunately the budget doesn't go that far But I am open to advertising CICCI and UK Crossfires on whatever car I get
