Trackday. ....Donnington October 8th

[karl rowntree]

Well here i am sitting at home bored and in need of a track day!

So ive put a set of driveshafts on the car, got a few jobs to do first thing but decided to go and do this one now. Will be out in the nova as the evo still needs the gearbox sorting.

Anyone else going?

Look out for a red 2l 16v nova if you are.

Hi all

I think they did 2 days Bazza, i went today

Not long got back from Donnington and had a great day in the old girl, all be it losing some more oil lol but not as bad as the ring!

We turned up for the afternoon session, costing £60. It was organised by Track Action and have to say it made a real difference going to an organised day. We had free instructors, camera and mount hire, free tea coffee and biscuits!! etc etc.

I went out 4 times in total (open pit lane!) doing approx 40 laps, first out with the instructor. He managed to show me a few new lines and by the end of the day i was taking cranor curves at just under 110 mph Very happy to say the least, so it wasnt the car after all just my driving

Managed to overtake pretty much every car on track during my session's including an evo, RX7, porsche's and an m3 csl! (but he soon went back past me lol.

Well thats it for this year for the nova, think i will be taking the engine out and giving it the once over before it moves to Germany. Speaking of the Ring, me Beastie and Andy are off out again in November! This time we are flying out and hiring BMW Z4's should be fun.
