Well it has been a busy old week in the VX. Palmersport Day on Tuesday and 1st Lotus yesterday. Well I can definately reccomend Andy's (1st Lotus) tuition. I learnt a lot.
£120 seems pretty good value to me.

How much of a caning does the 1st Lotus day give your tyres and brakes?

Not too much. Certainly a lot less than a track day.
A lot is low speed. Like learning how to steer. It is not 'till the afternoon the speed picks up. Even then there is not much tarmac to go mad on. I guess I used about half a tank of fuel - if that.
But I learnt SO much!
Plan on going again before the end of the Summer.
Check out my vid. Ok only a little bit of the 1st Lotus but it might be enough to give you an idea.

R1, great vid - looks like an ace couple of sessions.Check out my vid. Ok only a little bit of the 1st Lotus but it might be enough to give you an idea.
One thing though, is it me, or is your vid compression too high. It looks much more pixelated than your other (also excellent) vids. I'm using QT 6.3 on OSX10.2.6 via broadband.
cheers

If it's a week day, it'll have to be August for me (can't take any days off in September or October). I'll also have to see how the funds are going at the time (running a car without any income isn't as easy as I'd hoped 
)
Still really want to do the 1st Lotus day though

2/3/8/25/26 I am free.
There might be enough people for two days here.
Also if you book on a four and he only gets one customer (you), you pay the same! Might end up with EVO Elise Caterham etc , but that can be fun .......
