So did anybody go.
I popped across for a look for a couple of hours this morning.
Fantastic weather, track looked damp in a few places in the morning but don't think you could of asked for better.
Having not been to a car track day before (been to many race days at cadwell) I was suprised at how few cars were on track, I expected it would be busier, hopefully they will run another one later in the year.
MR2's were out in force, and several caterhams (or caterham style anyway) including 6 book a track cars, a few elises. Vauxhall's were limited to a pair of novas. A couple of metros proved to be quite quick. Then there were a few odd balls, focus, alfa 157?, old school bm, mini, z3, mk2 escort.
Despite what a lot of people think there is some run off at cadwell.
but not a lot
Anyway 2 novas
metro on slicks appeared quick
some randoms
Some old school
(Oh I don't pretend to be a photographer so if you have any comments about the pictures keep them to yourself thanks (thumbs))
