Went up to Donington on Sunday 14-12-08 for some track action.
I went with a load of people from PNG, kind of an unoffical club track day.
There were 7 Nova's, my Corsa, a Tigra and a Clio Williams.
The track was very slipery to start with and despite my reservations, it made for a very fun day in the fact it slowly dried out and you could progressively push harder and harder throughout the day.
I stayed on the trusty F1's allday untill the last session then I changed to the 888's as a dry line had appeared.
Generally had a pretty tidy day, apart from a few squivy moments.
First session I was behind Adam for a few laps and finally managed to get past him on the pit straight only problem was I carried to much speed into the first corner and had my first ever bigggggggg sideways moment, which somehow I managed to pull back in(still don't know how I done it). Bummer was my camera or Adams were'nt rolling so never got it on film.
And the very last session coming out of the final chicane I caught the mud on the inside and had a bit of an; understeer-oh oversteer-arghh moment.
Not caught on film either cos my battery had gone flat.
All in all a very good day.
Amd I now have the bug for there, such a good track.
