It's an autotest not autocross.

Common sense has made me say no as it's a tarmac event and I only have 1 car for transport which has a clutch not far from slipping. Will probably come up & watch / support / take the P if you folks go for it.

Yeah it is, I can't afford wheels and tyres, and I dont have space at this new house. That would be great if you could lend me some, then count me in for participating.

Yeh, cracking day, and looking forward to a wet one.

It might save a bit of tyre wear, and a bit more to learn about driving the GT4 in the wet.

Some wet track days soon with a bit of luck:)

Mr. Moody indeed :lol:

I'd never have believed a grown man looking at a row of cars up on jacks with wheels off, string hanging off tyres etc. and demanding we leave that instant and then stomping off to 'hand the key back and lock us in'.
Unfortunately it's officicious, snobby t**ts like that that that took the fun out of rallying for me and ultimately led to me chucking in the towel and going karting instead. Thankfully, the club level stuff doesn't tend to have too many of them.

I guess I need to travel further for my fun now - maybe start doing some autosolos again - Weston super mare, southsea, Silverstone, Castle Coombe.

Well I'm up for joining you and I'm sure others will to! Will make a longer journey fun!
Hopefully the next one, he'll either not be there, or at least will have got out the correct side of bed!

Should just be able to click the links, private means they can only be accessed by the links, not public search
