Hi there

Right guys we have 13 confirmed paid! Excellent!

However to guarantee our own team, we need 15, just two more, so lets work on getting 2 more people on this.

Can you have more then 15ppl ?

Yes, 13 so far.
We need 15 to guarantee our own team, so only OcUK members within that team.

Unless we find a 15th person you gotta feel sorry for the poor soul who ends up sharing their day with us lot

Aye, however if that one person trumps us all were gonna be in a fat mood.

This happens, Did to us anyway. Guy was called Markus Becker, Drove a blue 430 Ferrari and came wearing his lovely blue racing shoes. To say he was quick is a understatement

Yes just to mention this Palmersport have said your are OK to bring your own driving shoes (thin soul), gloves and helmets if you wish, but they do provide all of this in an ample range of fitments.

Guys well done!

We have 15 fully paid OcUK members, be good to see you all there guys.

My preparation for this has consisted of having a few runs in a Starlet at the last round of TSS after we broke the MR2 so that's the Clios covered.

Oh and I had a quick chat with someone at work at work about Porsches and Caterhams...

Trying to win all the trophies is just greedy.

Just tried on my old race suit... I can still squeeze in to it! It's a bit... ummmm... snug!

Word of warning - especially if it's wet - don't wear Jeans unless they're the really thin flexible type or extremely baggy

Is there any restrictions on what you can wear? To my knowledge there is not as they supply you race suits anyway.

Do they?

Last time I went we had fireproof race suits on, those fancy racing shoes and their helmets.

I am just gonna go in my gym kit as its comfy, so look out for the scruffy one there.

Im at Bedford Travel Lodge tonight, so no long commute down in the morning.

OMG amazing.

Jp Lm was crazy.

Gibbo had a nice big off at speed, grabbing another gear, misunderstanding the instructor shouting BRAKE!

Dup went up the bank in the caterham

Single seaters left!

Was awsome!

And guess which of my videos is not present. My massive OFF!

Im guess I either broke the video recorder or they removed it, pretty gutted about that as it would have made good watching as that was very very scary going off at those speeds. :eek:

My Porsche 911 time, MUHAHAHAAH and several spins.

Guys thanks for turning up!

I shall make a new thread with times and for you to post videos in and stuff.

However I have all the times to do this but I do need your single seater best lap times. Just post them as:-

1. Instructor - 72.7 (DRY LAP)
2. Gibbo - 84.60s
3. Telescopi - 115.70s

Then I can add those as well to the leaderboard

I take it the M3 was a big hit? Only had the jags there when I went, I hated them. Gibbo you drove the jags didn't you? M3 light years ahead?

Yes the M3 in a different league. Faster, corners better, drifts better, more feedback, simply excellent. On the road they feel heavy, but on track they felt great, not heavy at all. Of course the modifications Palmersport do could have taken quite a bit of weight out the car.

The worse car there now is the 911, its seriously dog poo compared to the other cars and the sooner they scrap them the better.

Here is me in Caterham:-

I've got the JP-LM2 working as well, watch it twice and my epic excursion of track at 100+ is not there.

So gutted, really wanted to watch where it all went wrong, but they have removed it, but my spin after overtaking someone on the brakes is on film, shall upload that tomorrow though, bed now as 6am start tomorrow.
