Well just one word WOW!!!!
You can not prepare for it one bit, no tv or game shows you the blind corners or the hills lol,

Car did brilliant and was impressed , last lap Sunday set the pads on fire and now sound horrid so new disks and pads lol
Only got 2000miles on brembo version :-(

Glad you had a great time mate...

Pics?

It's a good laugh isn't it, I did the same as you and cooked the pads. Need to invest in some decent ones before a second attempt or any kind of track day.

Glad it was a good trip with no dramas.

Just out of interest, where did you stay?

scooby doo 08-09-2014 01:17 PM

I stayed in the renhotel right buy the Aston Martin bit, loved seeing the Aston race car in the window , pads are a must now before brands ,
Great place tho just so busy sunday

Steve_PPP 08-09-2014 01:18 PM

Awesome place isn't it. Glad you had a good time and got home safely.

scooby doo 08-09-2014 01:39 PM

Deffo pukka, also you boys forgot to mention how MANY steps there are to the top of the castle tower lol

Impressed with the little civic, very capable car ,
Loved the atmosphere in the car park with just so many top end cars

Steve_PPP 08-09-2014 01:46 PM

lol, its the walk up the winding path outside that knackers me out more than the steps up the tower :D

How many laps did you manage to get in? I saw a pic yesterday of the traffic queueing back up the road just to even get in the car park, looked silly busy.

scooby doo 08-09-2014 02:59 PM

Managed 5 laps, was going to do another but the brakes just smelt like they had enough,
It's was mad , every lap I finished the track was closed and we was parked up the finished straight waiting to get into the car park ,
There's a clip on you tube of a mini smashing to bits yesterday so that was prob one, but I reakon well over a thousand cars, the roads were solid

Also worth a note, they was strict on cars, I had no front number plate on as removed it in the car park as have cooling ducts, I had to refit,
A guy in a m3 with full wrap around buckets was refused as to restrictive, and so fair few being turned away

That section is from 2:40 in this video from a lap i did in May. Not a good place to go off!

scooby doo 08-09-2014 03:53 PM

Funny tho as I actually enjoyed that down hill section and very quick and twisty

Nice video!

What was that scraping sound from 9:02-ish onwards?

Steve_PPP 08-09-2014 09:47 PM

I opened the window to let some cold air in :lol:

Hrimfaxi 09-09-2014 06:31 PM

Hahah ahh damn.

Glad you had a good time dude :) its such an amazing place, It was the same with the closures when we where all there in May, half of Sunday was closed, the weather was great so it would have been very busy I guess.

scooby doo 10-09-2014 10:12 AM
