The Cryptolambo had gone to the moon... Time for Cryptolambo 2!!!
- Thread starter kindai
- Start date
Its a commercial testing facility, so there were some bits going on (watching the electric busses trundle around the bowl filled with headless manikins was entertaining).
But effectively, the place was to myself, so no waiting around or similar for others to finish.

Possibly a reason why it's expensive as well then.

Whilst not cheap this sounds an absolute must for a supercar owner and well worth it 
Fair enough! I was wondering whether it was just you who booked it or whether it was part of a wider event, etc.
Sounds great

So how many track days are you going do to put what you’ve learned in to action? Definitely not going to pass any days with noise restrictions 
It’s a shame Milbrook is miles away from me, was good fun when I did half a day there a few years ago. Don’t think I could even get up to their office with my current track car though

Basically limited to noisy days

Theres a few at Donny and Silverstone each year that I’ve seen in the past. Don’t think a lot of the circuits use the unrestricted days for track days as they need them for race days!
What is dB on idle/full chat then?Basically limited to noisy days
How is it road legal?

Ah that’s a shame! You’ll have to let me know when you’re at Donny. I’ve only got 4 track days booked between now and the end of November

Tempted by the November no limits day, but they have always been rained off / half a day / cold as hell.
Not sure I want to spend the money on a coinflip, may have to wait until next year now.

It's a shame all these nimbys move next to racecourses then complain about the noise. Spoils it for everyone imo.

Oultan is the best one, I walked the track and was quite shocked how close the houses were by Shell Oils corner!

I did very similar course at Milbrook with PDS back in 2011.
The cost was £780 inc for a full day, the car was an Alfa 156 GTA(not mine). Great fun.

The old esso premium was crap in the GTR, always giving knock.
But last year they reformulated it into a 99 ron, 0 ethanol and the general consensus is its pretty much the best you can buy right now.
The thing that finally got me to change was the 10p a difference in price.
Do I notice any difference? Nope not at all. Apart from its £10 a tank cheaper to fill up and feel dirty using peasant esso fuel instead of vpower.
The new Esso is fuel is great. Even before it was 99RON it was the only fuel which didn't make my fuel pump chirp, think because of the lack of ethanol. However, its no cheaper than V-Power in my area...but my two nearest stations are Esso. Swings and roundabouts.

Ahhh, using your mobile phone in an explosive atmosphere (ATEX, zone 2). Good times

Phones don't cause explosions at petrol stations.

Not though is he? It's a picture, could have been taken with a digital camera not a mobile phone & even so, ever heard of flight mode?
