Official Test Day

How did everyone get on in the test day. Is it just me or were the organisers a little quick to red flag the sessions on occasions. i can understand if cars are in a dangerous position or the driver needs assistance, but some of the offs were well away from the track and the driver was safely behind the barriers.

never one to court controversy

That's why I prefer an open track day. Having said that, at Brands last Wednesday, a sierra lost front wheel on "parade" lap and 2cars came toberthe at between paddock and druids after only 10mins. See you sat

Hi Rich

To be honest that is part of the reason we stay away from the official 750 test days. They are usually very busy and end up with the red flags out more often than not. Mind you it had got to be better at Snetterton than at Mallory as in previous years.

Any how we had a very good day at Donington running a few engines in. Except for poor newbie Max who had a few problems with his new purchase. Electrical well dizzy probs but all is now sorted and i think everyone from here is raring to get out. Except me Who has not managed to get the medical sorted in time for snett after having to have a report from a cardiologist also. But have persuaded the stig to step in for Snett.

Hows yours and Andy's doing any probs or all ready to GOOOoooo.

Cheers Matt

I enjoyed the expierience, but the amount of red flags was irritating. Although i have to hold my hand up as i caused the red flag at the very end of the 2nd session in the afternoon due to the oil filter unscrewing itself.

see you all at the weekend!!
