Donington Park 27th September

Kev, I was so chuffed with the article.  The anticipation of not knowing what they were gonna say, "more roll than a burger van" type stuff was painful.  It was also amazing to go around in the ACS Z3 which is well sorted and I'm gutted it's new owner, Bryn can't make the trip.  Camera not in attendance this time and I've a new set of tyres to look after too.

Still, I found the pipe from the hairdryer wasn't correctly connected after Croft (at Gaydon) so it's a flying machine again now   

See you there.

Booked on to this one (eventually) and looking forward to it.

Had a ride round in an Exige in June and until then I had no idea of the size of the drop down craner or the rise back up under Scwantz, in spite of many days spent watching.

Just need some decent weather now (or pi$$ing rain if I want to show Giles in his new CSL (on pilot cups) the way round).

The left hander before the old hairpin.  Calum was a passenger in my CSL when it happened (twice).  The suspension is being uprated to rid the car of the bush un-wind effect that causes it.  Quite scary if you're not expecting it!!  New KW stuff will be on in time to try it out on the 27th.

 nick, have to agree with you. the car isnt a m3 but is a 328..with many mods to enhance the ride /handlind and braking. since croft 04, i've taken the opportunity to modify the car further, not with the intention of trying to out-perform other cars, but to make life easier for the car with more suited components (a bilstein pss9 suspension kit and some modified brakes). my driving abilities will slowly improve, but with a car which is more capable when driven on track. i'm not really looking for a m3 eater, just something which is quick, reliable, fun and above all SAFE!

ive taken on board your comments and will learn from them (especially the cadwell park bit...ouch that must've hurt) as the last thing that i want is to over do it to the point where the cars being dragged out of the armco with a tractor! i am still very much a novice with 4 bdd outings under my belt and look forward to donington bdd with a new approach  from my last outings, and try to build up the speed/pace with more expert tuition from people like chris rossiter!

i'll take that baby home in one peice, with a little smile on my face knowing that ive learnt something new and had a great day out.

lookind forward to croft05 already!

Best regards
