Again, so such seat time, i think the biggest queue was two cars all day, and they only had to wait a couple of minutes.

A day ran pretty much on its own, cheers boys and girls!

I really had to drag myself away as i had to leave early.

Loads of seat time. No exageration when I say out of the 5 hours I was there I was driving for a good 4 hours

Got a few vids - unfortunately they are all a bit Docwra heavy as the missus was doing the filming.
Chuffed with the last run on this one - that was the first of three linked laps with no handbrake or clutch kick
Trust her to stop filming though





Big thanks to Si for lending me a smack hat, AlexF for letting me have a skid in his car (could two S13's be more different?), marshalls and SP staff, and everyone else in the world for a great day

Only slight downside is that I was told that I had to pay £60 (later £30 half day) for Tasha to do any driving - even 10 minutes donut practise which is crap as its the first time shes been able to come and drive due to being a teacher
Oh, and the SP folks wouldnt let anyone take pictures past where this vid was shot, again a shame as the fastest and no doubt most interesting bit would have been up by the blocks etc.

Right click and save as Id suggest - they are mp4 format so youll need quicktime or a codec as well

no worries, i felt so useless watching you 2 try and put the car back together, but then u slit your hand open!!! I couldnt just sit there and watch, i had to get stuck in and get you back on the road, plus cut that towel up to wrap up your hand. just hope ur hand is ok?
