Well spotted.

I like Donnington, very tempted. Very!

Will check diary at the office tomorrow and if free I will probably book. First SD track day and first on anything for a while...

I'd do this but don't have any intension of running Pirelli tyres.

Not used them since the days of Phantoms in the 1980's.

Good deal though if you have them fitted.

Massive thanks to Cerec1!

We are booked in Inters/Advanced on our RC8's, too much of a bargain to miss. Total luck that my 8 came with Supercorsas fitted!

After my spill I need to get my Mojo back and for £25 you can't go wrong. Be good to see you there Fuel and Tripod (+Tom?)

Counting the days again

Funny that, I'm not very experienced at donny, been there once in the last 10 years but I had a chat about it at cadders with the skinny guy, Tripod Dave I think.

We both agreed that it's one circuit where the superduke really feels like it doesn't have enough go!!!!!!!

I'm booked in the faster group!!

First SD track day and first on anything for quite a while.

Anybody coming up the M40 passed J11 with a van or spare trailer place? I'm just off the M40 and would be happy to chip in for the fuel etc. I always used to ride to and from my track days but fancy taking it easy this time if a lift is available.

Bloody hell, I wonder if I can still fit into the race suit??

That's a bargain

I was thinking the same as Klincky, Metzeler are owned by Pirelli and therefore all Metzeler tyres are Pirelli tyres by default

It might have been obvious but I called Pirelli. They will be there on the day doing deals on new tyres so bargains may be found! They will have one of there prefered dealers on site doing the fitting as they can't deal directly with the public. Good news for me as my rear Super Corsa will be on it's last legs.

Showing dry at the moment but this is England and it could be anything.
Donington in the damp is nothing short of treacherous. Wet or damp stay off the curbs as they have less grip than the grass.
If its wet just take it easy or bring wets but still stay off the curbs.

I'm not sure if these things are transferable but if they are and anybody wants it my ticket is now available so do shout.

My ex (we were never married) who still lives in my house two years after splitting up has just informed me that her new boyfriend who is of course lovely and a genius will be taking over but I may still be able to see my three year old son (not the nine year old that I brought up for four years because apparently he has nothing to do with me any more) if I don't annoy her too much. So, as you can imagine I'm feeling a bit blue and have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

My immediate future consists of selling everything I own to pay a layer to make the argument that children need their fathers and then try not to scream as the presumption in favour of the woman means that I will almost certainly lose anyway. Sometimes life really does suck and for me this is one such time.

I hope you all have a great time and if anybody wants the ticket let me know and I will send you what MSV sent me.

Thats shit Shadowman, sorry to hear that.

I have been completely screwed by an ex wife in the past and know how you feel. I wish I knew someone who could take the ticket off your hands....

If you change your mind it would be good to meet you, don't let the fookers bring you down.

Well Dave, Mike, Marc, Ravi (my brother) and myself all had an excellent day at Donington yesterday. Weather was dry and warm all day, the sun even came out in the afternoon. I had a few problems with noise, tested fine without baffles so went out without them........... black flagged. Put them in went out again, black flagged again. Had a chat to one the marshall's who advised me not to use my quickshifter on the start/finsih straight as it was causing a backfire, and also to drop the rev's as i went pass the sound meter, I did and no further problems. A very well organised day as well, and not too busy either, plenty of space out on track. If only they all cost £25
