Great day with great guys as usual! Great to see Taff out in his new Elise as well.
I did manage a pirouette in Craners but learned a lot from it - the front suspension was too hard when the rain came down - when we softened it off 3 clicks all was perfect again - thanks tommyracer!
Tom, Andy & myself did have a curry but closer to home as my blackened headlamp covers are absolutely sh*te in the dark!
Great photos, thanks!!!
Roll on Anglesey next Easter!
Anyone fancy two track days at Donington for Ā£150 the pair in December?

Wow there is a blast from the past!!!. Reminding me of the Golf makes me think the older I get the faster I use to beā¦
Those golf days were 1995 1996 1997 good time I have to say (The old girl is still on the go)
How did you know of me back then?
Thanks for the comments about the Lotus, Iām still getting to grips with it but I have to say it makes me smile every time I use it, even in the wet at Donnington!!
I have been in and around hot and stock hatch since the late 90ās, amongst other saloon championships. We did speak a couple of years ago at Anglesey, I came out with you in your car.
The car is fantastic, something on my bucketlist but got a few more races to do first.
MarkPH, no worries mate. There are is still more speed in the car with some more adjustments.
I had the on-board footage out of BatCat No6 off of Mr Lerouxā¦I was chuckling to myself as I watched it last night The last couple of sessions (after I lost the starter motor) are missing and the rainy ones are pretty unwatchable (not just because of my driving) but overall worth having for sure. Iāll post up some highlights at some point.
I believe you, I saw the 360o in my RVM (how rear are those in an Exige?!) and the fact you kept going is evidence of the other.
But I was a little busy a the time, braking from well over 100mph in a rain storm in to the chicane. I just wanted to watch again whilst making appropriate noises.
Yeah Iāll try and do a quick highlights over the weekend showing the various Exigers in circuit. I spent a lot of time in the car, certainly got my monies worth.
Managed to get some time this afternoon to start looking at the video.
First offering, sorry not the spinners collection. Still practising on the editing.
