Am toying with the idea, but also Snetterton 21st and Goodwood 22nd, soo much choice. I know Dodge is going and a few others I know in other makes of cars. I just hate the marshalling at Castlecombe, its as if theyre trying to cause accidents and swore I wouldnt go there again. Martin s

Great day loads of track time, good to see fellow vxers too and some very friendly Lotus people. Chris hope your pipe stays on at GW on Saturday and I'm defo looking forward to the vid Stuart. Watched mine when I got home and the last session when we were all going round together was fab. I was cream crackered when I got back, slept really well. I will post up the vid later.

Great moody sky although it played havoc with the camera metering. Mine did exactly the same. That lad in the green Elise could really get it round couldn't he, I mean you're no slouch. Right I'll load mine up now.

...he was quick but looked like he was going chuck it the tyre wall at any moment lol..got some more footage of him behind sliding around and mucking about...a top bloke as well. I would like a bit more power but i think il end up in the tyre wall first...anyway we all had a brilliant day and got home in 1 piece witch is the main objective..good to meet you again Chris and have fun at Goodwood on Saturday

Hi chaps,

Thought I'd say hello, I am the chap with the green S1 Honda Elise.

It really was a great day, as seems usual with LoT trackdays, and great to see so many vx's there.

Stu - I look forward to some future laps with you, certainly was fun!

I'm only just starting to upload the video but found one with a couple of you in which I've uploaded. There is a better one with me and Stu lapping together but I'm yet to upload it.

Cheers

Miles

Miles...cant wait to see the video you havent finished yet, i got more of you i also need to edit/upload. The sessions we were out together has probably been one of the best since owning this awesome little car..on the limit everywhere and it had to be said you could just push that little bit harder and watching you power sliding around Quarry was fakin mental..its the first time ive ever seen some one drive a Lotus that hard on a trackday..again awesome driving.

I reckon thats it for me in regards to trackdays this year as the car is in need of some serious TLC what with the relentless abuse ive given it for the last 3 months but if anything changes youl be the first to know mate.
