:iagree: ........ look there goes more pork with feathers.
We have had this one booked for a while, first time out in the Trophy so looking forward to it.
Have been on 2 palmer days in the last 4 weeks, loving the single seaters and the JP1's

Especially if its chucking down !! The guy who came with us last time (Audi Exige) went yesterday and said he was the slowest out there when it was wet ...
Fingers crossed for good weather. :thumbsup:

I reckon if you turn up there may be spaces, alternatively buy a few sessions from someone in the afternoon. I've given away the last couple of hours on ones I've done just as I / the car has had enough.

10.35. Latest BBC weather forecast - absolutely no rain over Donington all day and should be sunny 9 to 4 - easy peasy.

Hope this went well guys - my space didnt happen so got stuck into the GP on tv.

was a good day out, Bens car was quick on the track tyres and he was as quick/quicker than the Nobles but some of them were not really pushing for fear of breaking tupperware I think.
and the Z4M and e46 M3.
the only things quicker in his group was the Radicals... awesome.
felt weird being there in something FWD but great fun once I adjusted.
good to see you Coupe fan.

Sounds like a fantastic day, good stuff Ben, i take it that it stayed dry for you to use track tyres?
Any pics of the piss yellow monster and the trophy?

yep, the weather was great sunny all day, so much for the weather forecast!

My brother is gonna take some pics of the trophy on the next track day, need to capture some 3 wheeled action!

the Trophy can be a real hooligan on track and great fun, was able to really chuck it about.
big grin factor.
will be getting onto Brands as soon as I can find a spot.

I think i will one day have to track the 182, i can imagine its great fun despite being less powerful that the MC.
How are the front tyres btw?

It should go even better at Brands, being a shorty twistier circuit etc than Donington which is a bit of a power circuit. My Coupe went better at Donington than it did at Oulton Park (my 205GTi is the opposite!).

Thats what I was hoping.
Dony is much better for more powerful cars.... people would catch up with me before the chicane(starkeys) and then overtake me on the pit straight only for me to be all over them/overtake them at craners.
aparently the clio was flat out doing 110mph through craner (i didnt look, passenger told me)
a very impressive little car.
No real probs on the tyres Chris which suprises me
