Chris, I looked the other day and the LOT website said no places left? Did it say if there were any more spaces when you booked?

First time I logged in it said 8 places then on the actual page it said non left? They must know me :slight_smile:

Bit strange really - different info in different places on the site. Checked on Thursday and in the
main event listing page (with pics)said 8 places, once logged on it said 3 places.

I think it depends on pending payments - if you purchase using paypal you are confirmed but if you pay by cheque it removes the place but it’s still available (sort of)

When I checked again on Friday it said 1 place left when I logged in it said 3 places still left !!! :crazy:

12

What - you’re doing Silverstone again in the wet again !!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

13

i’ll be there – see if it snows again this year

14

Late decision but luckily there were 4 places left so I’ve just booked.

I look forward to seeing you guys there next week.

Let’s see what the weather brings ??

Well just got back - the 1st track day in 2 years and the worst ever !!! :cry:

Arrived late due to outside factors - did 3 sighting laps then punctured coming out of the shell hairpin
Then spent 30 mins waiting for a plan to form - couldn’t tow me or didn’t want them to lift me off the circuit

Luckily Cliff lent me his back wheel so I could limp back to the pits.

Quick call to CN’s to check stock on rear A048 - success !!!

Drove to CN’s on Cliff’s wheel with mine as a passenger, collected new tyre - 1 wheel and 1 new tyre + me in an Exige :crazy: Drove to tyre fitters, tyre fitted and back to Oulton just in time for lunch.

Lunch finished = rain starting :angry: bailed out after a few ‘hairy’ laps

So a �400 day and did approx 6 laps :angry:

Thanks to Cliff for the loan of the wheel and Paul @ CN’s

And Burtons for the suit - hope it didn’t shrink in the rain.



Could have been worse, mate, but nonetheless that’s real bad luck. :wink:

Thats not good… never heard of an Exige getting a puncture… are you sure you did not run over any CF!!!

You did more pax laps with me mate! :crazy:

Perhaps you should have worn the white suit after all! :smiley:

Know how you feel matey - my last 2 have ended up with early baths - Donny being just 12 laps and then rear bearing failure. C’est la vie :slight_smile:
