Have fun. Take car at/exiting Druids; track will be green under the trees and the bump just after it can send the car light and catches loads if
people out (been there done that).

Well we both survived without any issues which is always a bonus.
I wish my car had more power!!

It was perfectly dry but very very cold.
Never had so many red flags in a day, I think there were 7. We lost count, some big offs though. 2 cars were pretty written off, people just not
driving to the conditions and thinking because it's dry it's fast.
I had new discs and pads fitted to a car I am still new to. The fronts kept locking up under breaking and I was too afraid to put some bias to the
back!! I just took an extra couple of laps to warm the tyres up which never quite come on even after pushing. They are quite old though.

I'm surprised at that. It was passing down all morning here.
The first November day I did at Oulton, people were flying off on the sighting laps

A good friend lives up that way and his birthday is at the end of November (today actually!). We have done Oulton for the last 4 years or so at this
time, I probably know Oulton better than any track now having done it probably 7-8 times, crazy as it's over 200 miles away for me.
Late November has always been dry and overall good conditions, I would consider this one the worst but only because everybody else couldn't drive
or maintain their car!!
I did Oulton in the snow this January, that was problematic. . . .
Worst conditions I have done a track day in was at Anglesey. Heavy rain for almost the whole day, it was flooding in places. Rainsport 3 were amazing,
in the wet.
