Good to see everyone  - the drive home was the highlight for me, stuck in traffic on the M1 only to come across the most epic crash on the other side I've ever seen, blood on the windscreen and everything! 
I got fucked off with all the traffic and saw the lights and thought this had better be worth the wait. Then felt quite bad when I saw it  
How you manage that in a contra flow is beond me. Wouldnt have wanted to be in the contra though as they were stuck and making them all start reversing back down it

I spoke to the official track photography and they said they delete the photos after the show, don't display them online or anything. After seeing the pictures and how shit they were I'm not surprised either, and they wanted £20 per photo!
And yeah, cheers for the stand passes for me and my mates at the last minute, appreciated! I loved Silverstone, what a wicked track!

12.10 session, fully soft and a bit wet, didn't like it at all, too scatty on the back end, still a bit understeery, not really nice at all, no confidence. Not knowing the track didn't help.
3.10 session, drier conditions, stiffened up the front a bit. It was far more steady, bit more confidence in the car and where I was going. Still need to have a bit more of a play with the setup to see if I can get it more sturdy although it was much improved. Needs alignment as well as this hasn't been done yet since lowering it on the coilovers.
I was curious to see how it looked from outside, was hard work inside, kept me awake! Apparently I got a cheer when it stepped out according to a few who were in one the grandstands
Overall good day although I'm actually fairly depressed about the Corsa turnout. Most other single marque clubs, Clio Sport / Saxperience / loads of others showed us up considerably in terms of car numbers. Need to do more there.

From what i saw it was definatly a bit twitchy on the corners, looked like you were working hard to keep it from going off, i did only watch the 12:30 run mind
