Not sure if this in the right section so Mods, sorry if it is, please feel free to move it
![]() Can't wait for this tomorrow, I pee a little each time I think about how good it will be! I'm travelling up from Brighton at approx 4:15-4:20am. Is anyone else leaving a similar area at a similar time? Was thinking we could all meet up and convoy together? Maybe meet at peas pottage at 5am or something? Anyone interested?

What a cracking day that was. Only managed to get out three times. First up was a GT3, nearly soiled myself. 2nd was a 550bhp Gtr, nearly peed myself. Last but certainly not least was with SkullFudge, nearly jizzed myself!! All brilliant in their own right. Many thanks to Skillfudge for agreeing to do a few more trips for myself,Midlife and another chap from P1owners, it was awesome! Top man

Here are a couple of onboard vids.
I sound a be repetitive some times,. It's okay with mates but sitting with many people you don't know is difficult to know what to talk about. I just left the GoPro running for 3 laps. Midlifem his mate and a P1 Woc member as Passengers Mrs SpiderPig this time. More to come. Uploading or rendering. |

The one I went in was amazing. He launched from 4000rpm, taking it 'easy', and it felt like someone had shunted us from behind, unreal!
My first trip in the GT3 nearly scared me to death. I got in and was greeted by this little old fella called Chris who was very nice, don't get me wrong but all i could envisage was poodling down the back straight with Classic fm on. Oh well i thought, it's still a ride in a nice car. Off we set, dear me, how wrong could i have been. We were approaching the second corner so fast I honestly thought we'd had it! I'd have braked about 5 seconds earlier but once he braked i could see why he left it so late as i nearly went through the windscreen! Anyway round we went ridiculously fast,I got out shaking. Before i got out i complemented him on his driving, "well" he said, "I've been in motorsport all my life racing and as a little bit on the side to top up my pension i instruct here"(at Bruntingthorpe). That would be why you're so good then?! Lesson learnt, never judge a book by its cover.....

Truth be told I'd have spent over £200 if I could have had a lap in everything I wanted too,haha. Glad everyone had a good day and yes, hopefully see you soon. Should be plenty of opportunities in the coming months hopefully ![]()
