O M G!

That is almost as fun as trackdays and at £35 is certainly more fun per £.

Came 14th in class (out of 17). Mark beat me by 5 secs and one place.

Gonna be doing more of these next year. Lessons learned were less speed and more accuracy and not to brim the tank on the way as I used hardly any fuel so was carrying loads of extra weight. Oh and they had a weigh bridge, 860KG with well over half a tank of fuel but without a driver.

Video and photos to come.

Yeah I'm chuffed with em, could do with an in-car one to show how much effort on the wheel is required. My arms ache a fair bit today.

We not going to mention the Micra right?
