Myself and Debs and my Dad is coming with us for the weekend, booked that hotel a while back to make sure we got a room.

[Lauren 2259]

I'm at Anglesey for a track day on the 17th. Shame we're coming home on the Sunday would have been cool to watch! 

[KevinA 695]

There is the Javelin sprint on the Saturday that I am doing,m welcome to pop along.

[surrey86 352]

I'm probably going to camp at the circuit, fingers crossed for the weather.

[Cerastes 204]

Hi all, 

Quick question, is it ok to come along to this? 

We don't have to pay to watch or anything right?

Thanks. 

[surrey86 352]

More chance they'd pay you to watch

Yeah, free to spectate. Come on down.

[Cerastes 204]

I'll be there. My dad coming with me to see what it's all about and we make a little trip of it . 

Hopefully we can get a passenger ride if there time and if some don't mind? 

 

Edit: Oh we probably won't get there until around 1030ish. We will leave very early Sunday morning when the roads are quiet and stay the night, then travel back and do some sight seeing on way back.

If there's extra time at the sprint, in that we get all the runs done and there's time left over, you can sign on as a passenger for a tenner. But it depends on how the day goes. Obviously bring a lid if you want to do this, or you can hire one for a tenner.

Thanks, yea I'll bring my helmet. Hopefully it all runs smoothly.

If there is time you are welcome to hop in.

Thanks Kevin.

I'm sure I've seen you on the list before... 

[八六車 24]

Might want to drop them a mail as I was put on the wrong list at first but it was corrected quickly after contacting them

[Jamie_GRMN 177]

Messaged em through FB and they’ve said it’s probs just an issue with the spreadsheet but all’s good 

[Cerastes 204]

Good fun watching you all today. Sorry I didn't get to talk to everyone, too much to do and see, I was mesmerized by the views. I got quite a few pics of most of you. I'll try and put them up tuesday when I get time. Don't expect too much, they not great. I used my phone and I'm not a professional. 

After seeing 2 cars go around I kind of wished I was out there. 

[Cerastes 204]

As promised; here are a few pics of some of you. Again, the quality isn't great I was just using a mobile phone. I also have some of you at the top of the circuit but I was on the hill, so far away you look like dots in the picture. Oh and some of you look like your car is just stationary on the track as my phone can't capture moving wheels. 

 

As much fun as it was seeing you all race around. The drive to and from Anglesey was spectacular. Just a shame the other 3/4 of the drive was dull and with lunatic's on the road. 

I haven't seen a road that smooth since... actually I can't remember the last time I saw a road that smooth.

Thanks for the photo's - great scenery in Wales as always 

Thought I would share 2 of my laps - one with my best time, and the second with my worst, trying something @Lauren warned me not to do - turn into Church corner without lifting. Turns out she was 100% correct   At least it all ended well  Oops...

 

 

 

[Cerastes 204]

Nice videos. Was your car full of poo after that slide lol? 

I would have still been slower than your slowest lap though. 

[Lauren 2259]

That was interesting to see Graeme. Your car seems to have so much more grip than mine. No sliding around, whereas I was over steering in most of the corners. Probably where I lost time. Also interesting that you were in second for the first corner, I was taking in third. You must have been right on the limiter at the run up to Rocket. I was into fifth at the kink, hitting 116mph before hitting the brakes. 

[surrey86 352]

I think having the traction control on makes quite a big difference there Lauren. I had it on the first few runs and found it too frustrating on that first right hairpin, should have turned it fully off sooner. Doesn't seem to slow Graeme or Kevin down, but can't make it work with my driving. I wonder if it's to do with having higher spring rates in the rear.

Yes, maybe. I admit, I never have the traction control on. I turn everything off on the track and on the road. I've never driven on track with it on. It's just not something I could ever bring myself to do in all honesty.
