Only used Circuit days once at SPA and never again! Like the M25....

A little I guess but was my first time there; found it pretty cool esp with some fellow 911ukers!

Back at Spa again in May but joining the Lotus Club day this time and if last Saturdays Goodwood td one was anything to go by should be a lot more space. Cant wait :thumb:

Nice to see you out in the car, how did you find Lotous on track? I'm planning in joining you at Spa in May

Hi Jon,

Not sure if it was quieter because of the time of year but had the most track time I've had at Goodwood with a nice variety of cars

Great you're coming to Spa, lets go for pizza :puh:
 
A few pics from Goodwood:

My wife took the Mini and I had to get to my Godsons 3rd bday party. Cue the Hindshead tunnel in the GT3...

I know, people getting in the way as well on this run down but hey its bit of fun :thumb:

Maybe we should meet there and see how much noise we can generate like a pair of kids :grin:
 
I've been enjoying a few days in a V12.. currently having rather large withdrawals

 
The GT3 and I have been having some serious adventures of late. We've driven around 3,500 miles in the past month (48,000 miles now and counting)

Its been so much fun taking in the Highland 500 - what an area! - and last week Spa Francorchamps circuit

I'm going away now but here's a quick pic + a big hello to Rich D and Rallyman who I bumped into at Spa (great to meet you both)

I dropped the GT3 off at Sid's in between these two adventures and as usual the car came back fighting fit
Great stuff and top man - Sid @ www.porsche-torque.com :thumb:

Here's a few pics from last Fridays Nurburgring DN15 day.

After 3 years with my GT3 I'm still completely blown away by it. We've driven 14,000 miles in those 3 years and its lead to some fantastic adventures. Here's to many more :thumb:

Didn't realise that was you, I'd have come over and said hi. Was a great day.

:thumb:
 
I kept seeing your car - at one point it shot past me :D - but couldn't find you in the car park.

See you at another for sure, so much fun and very lucky with the weather... chucked it down the next morning

When my neck recovers I hope to book the Goodwood charity day in October so may see you at that..

:thumb:
 
Nice pics and free too!

We got so so lucky with the weather. Total washout the previous evening, biblical on the last 10 miles of the drive down.
 
Yes, it was magical if you enjoy huge rainbows! I love the countryside around there.

This being my first time I hadn't realised how close the Ring was in relation to Spa. When I get a minute I'm going to look up small houses to buy located between the two... could airbnb the s 1 t out of it and leave a car in the garage.. I'm sure there's some adequate man maths there..
