Easytrack ... give alfatim a shout It'd be great to see you there and I can even offer the spare room for the night, if that helps you make a decision (Oulton is only an hour from mine)

Not you too, T We had a great day, thanks, Marco Overcast, but warm, in the morning and bright sunshine in the afternoon meant that I didn't have to face my rain demons! Easytrack always seem to run a brilliant day, with sensible numbers of cars meaning that we could pretty much go straight out on track when we wanted. And, once out there, the track wasn't too busy and stopping us having fun. I can't recommend them enough We managed to get out probably 10+ times in total. I was knackered by the end of the day from the sheer amount of driving/ concentration. And I'm getting more used to my car with each track day. The move from FWD to RWD has been a big thing for me on track and later in the day I was having the confidence to go into some of the more quicker corners closer to the 'edge' ... and enjoying the feeling of the car sliding around a little, and me controlling it After not having done a track day for several months, I've got the bug again Unfortunately, though, my video camera was playing up and was only recording for the first few minutes after being set up. So I've not got any decent video of 'hot' laps (with plenty of sliding and steering wheel input ). However I did get a lap of my mate, Rich, driving ... and spinning nicely at the end (on an out-lap as well!) ... Rich's one-lap guide to Oulton ... with extra spin!

It's a great track ... my favourite ... you should get yourself up there for a track day one day (assuming you'd turn up! )

Great vid Dave. I think maybe your mate was following your coaching a little too closely with the spin Oulton is right up there for me too, and the coupe goes rather well round there also Marco! Definitely try to get a date in the diary for Oulton soon...

Strangely enough, I span there about an hour before But I had a lunatic in a Subaru to blame (he was just ahead of me, going far too quickly into the corner, sliding all over the place, before taking a trip across the gravel)!

^^^^^^^ And there was me thinking that this thread was about a track day at Oulton Sorry Dave, just some of the comments have been too tempting I was keeping an eye on this thread, as I was off work on Wednesday and was hoping to make it along to watch, as Oulton is only half an hour or so away from me. Maybe next time

Don't worry T! I was only pulling your leg ... not upset in the slightest ... hence the You should have popped along. You could have had a few passenger rides out
