North Weald today
A great activity day run by Car Limits (via Lotus on Track). The weather was nice and sunny but a bit parky - I've got goggle sun/wind tan, so I
can pretend I've been skiing 
Nice to meet JonnyS from here... I didn't envy his journey to/from Brum, though.
Also, I tried out my ebay webcam and have created a Youtube account and managed to load a couple of vids up! (please no comments on the quality of the
driving...)

Tracks 1 and 3 look ok, but 2 looks like an aimless drive around an airstrip!!?
Maybe the camera not doing the track justice.
I went on a track day, and they laid out a proper track which was lapped to death.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

To be fair, it was not billed as a track day, but an activity day - not more than one car on the circuit at a time. Having said that, circuit 2 was my
least favorite (other people said the same) because there were no real landmarks to aim for, just the cones which were quite far apart.

I have been on these twice now.
Bloody good fun,even got the missus driving the car 
I am booked again for the April one on the 18th I think it is.
I do prefer the short top track and the longer one(final track).
Need to get my finger out and finish the winter mods.
Good videos of it all too

Nice to meet you too. The drive back was quite nice compared to the drive down! Lots of funny looks and a few pictures taken by people passing
My car was a bit too stiff for the bumpy track. Combined with the power delivery and very light weight, meant it was spinning up everywhere Still a
good chance to get used to the car. Very easy to control and slide.
