[quote][i]Originally posted by gavin18787[/i] First off I am still grinning like a chesire cat was possibly one of the best days of my life :D :D :D Also possibly one of the most expensive :lol: :o Met up with someone off of civictyper.co.uk and headed on down there. Myself and mark comendeered ourself a garage :lol: [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5206/dsc05233.jpg[/img] Then I got myself briefed and signed on [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5206/dsc05243.jpg[/img] Then after that we headed out on the sighting laps behind the saftey car. Then it was open pit time :) I at this point went off for my instruction session. Possibly one of the best £25's I have spent. I learnt so much from dave my instructer. He used to drive press cars for honda here so knows how to chuck a CTR around so was ideal for the task in hand :D I can say up until then I really didnt realise the car was capable of that much. When people say CTR's handle they arnt lying. By the end of my teaching session I was up to speed and following the lines nice and smoothly (possibly the biggest difference is getting the lines right as I now know) Thanks again Dave :wave: Then I went for some laps its safe to say I got my moneys worth :lol: 3 tanks of fuel and I reset the trip meter when I left mine this morning and it now reads 250miles :cool: The amount of grip CTR's have is crazy (compared to a corsa anyway :lol: ) will grip and grip and if I does start to slide a little lift off will get it tight again. And its also nice and predictable with lots of feed back. It lets you know you are upseting it before deciding it likes the grass. I did have one hero style moment at graham hill at about 45 degrees but the car did well at not snatching back to suddenly and we held it together (much to the amusment of my passanger :lol: ) I think with an LSD my car would be very capable :) Also went out in an impeza (doesnt feel that fast but clearly was :lol: ) and a caterham which I now want badly :lol: In summery I would recoment one of these to anyone. Everyone was mega friendly and dispite the range of cars there I didnt come across or here of any bad driving from anyone :) Car behave impecably too apart from filling it with petrol letting some air out of the tyres and tighening some wheel nuts nothing was needed. Other people seemed to have theirs in bits all the time. There was a mk4 astra gsi I there but I think that went pop :( as it was smoking out on track and then I saw it getting recovered outside :( Funniest moment of the day was my passanger singing kings of leon sex on fire changed to "your brakes are on fire" as we pulled into the pits :lol: I did have quite a bit of smoke coming from the front :o Some pics I grabbed: Only a few I got on my phone. I am awaiting others to post theirs.
