I will have to check but think im morning too. My dad booked it ages ago, the tickets just came in the post yesterday :laugh:. With a bit of luck I will hopefully be in a mk2 gti track car. No VR6 though :wink:

Well took the mk2 golf vr6 on its a first track day and what an experience knowing I took every nut and bolt out and put them back was a tad scary but I had no problems , after each session people in porsches coming up to me asking what engine it had and why it was so fast was a good feeling.
I had most cars on the straights but the corners were a big let down , a couple of times got scared and braked on the corner (I know your not supposed to) and the back stepped out either the handling needs sorting or I need bigger balls to keep the speed through the corners.
overall a great morning and will definetly be doing as much as I can
bendy: didnt see you there?
also dont under estimate mazda mx-5's they are absolute animals on the track!

yea sorry dude my car is far from track ready now. My dad and his mate were there in the afternoon in a c63 AMG :drool:
Glad you enjoyed yourself. Yes sounds like you need a bit of work on the suspension settings. VR6 engine mk2's tend to understeer. Yes try and be smooth in the corner cos at track speed being hesitant can cause big problems.
MX-5's are great track cars, always surprise me how quick they are on the straights, knew they would be good in the corners though.
Im sure I will see you on track at some point in future Neil :happy2:
