Morning.
Saw a few cars I knew/recognised out on track, as well as a few that seemed to be parked up on the stand too.
If you want any of them, you should be able to rob the photos from the Link, but if not, let me know and I'll send them across;

Ian's puma needs WR instead of Puma on the side and the website on the sun strip.
Looks like it was a decent day, any accidents this year?

I thought Ian buying the Puma was just a joke.

Wasn't a bad day. Rain kind of put a dampener on it later in the day (  )
Couple of fires, but otherwise I didn't see anything spectacular.
However, there was an E46 M3 that was pushing on with a VW, got past, then disappeared for a while, and reappeared with front end damage;

From the R/H sweep after the First Chicane sector. Nice low fence there close to the Track, and not busy!
This shows the views better;

Aha! I can see now. I was top of 3rd and into 4th through there, felt properly slow, I need a longer 3rd.
That M3 broke down on one session, I think it was my last session (3.45ish) after the first restart, gave it stick off the line and then broke down a few yards away lol.

350z hit a wall on the side, looked pretty bad. Also saw a totalled new GTR on a flatbed on the way home on the M4 but wasn't sure if that was from CC or not
Good day!

How was steves old puma, Ian? Nicely set up for the track?
I'm unaware if you've changed anything.

Re-fitted PAS as the manual rack was longer and there was a bit of play in the column.
Brakes are mega.
Think its probably a bit low, its a touch more bouncy than my old one. Might try it on the Gaz setup.
Felt quick though, fastest session was the later ones when it had dried up a bit, not looked at the times yet but it felt OK.
Only thing is, need to learn the gearing a bit better as its got the shorter final drive so it was a bit revvy with the normal gear choices.
But yeah, goes alright.

The E46 and the Vento/Jetta were fun to watch. Great day out again which was nice. Thanks for taking some pictures Dave.

was indeed. Think I was on the same 2pm session. I went past a green rs on the straight after quarry and he did me on the brakes at the same time into the chicaine with a cheeky sideways slide lol. Big balls
