To misquote david's 8 I think - the wonderful smell of hot brakes when car returned to paddock! Yes they got very hot and took a few laps to settle in after a frightening "will she stop or not" at the chicane, but 8 sessions (nearly 2 hours track time) with my son in law and it kept taking the punishment. Undertray dropped and dragged on ground (removed) and we have a small oil leak to investigate.

For any other track day novices, have a go and get the instructor, David da Costa to go out with you and improve your driving style. For £15 quid, best instruction I ever had and same price as a track session.

Looking forward to next year already! Any one who has photos of my car on track, would love to see them. Fairly sure it was the biggest vehicle on the track actually driving competitively.

Thanks to everyone.

Fair play for taking it out all day on the track looked immense out there and looked like alot of fun, the smoking brakes was a highlight of the day but the car goes really well, hopefully you get the small oil leak sorted and be back next year

I really think we should book the parade lap as a group next time or at least all plan to get out there at the same time with the others roll on the next year
