[QUOTE=Hotkiwi]Hi, Not only is this my first posting,it'll also be my first time on track!!!! Cant wait (he says nervously) :eek:[/QUOTE] Welcome:) Don't worry, if you want one of us to come out with you and show you around the circuit just let us know. There are plenty of people who'll be only too happy to be a 'track buddy' for the day. I'd also encourage you to book a slot with an instructor if you can. Well worth it. I went out with an instructor at Brands on Friday, even though I'd driven the circuit several times before and it was really useful - helped me nail a couple of bends I was driving inconsistently :D

Mike H[/QUOTE] Hi Mike, Don't worry - I only get a weekly update from Maggie and the last one was before you booked. You'll no doubt be on the next one. When we get our own on-line booking services up on this website we're aiming for it to be immediate of course :-) Dave

Hi Dave, I am very sorry to have to bother you AGAIN, :o but reality has set in and I have to accept that the Frogeye is not going to be ready in time, :( as things like work and family seem to be getting in the way of garage time !! ;) I have therefore decided to be realistic and sensible (!!) and will be using my BGT for both Silverstone and Bedford (plus the other of this year's track days that I can get to.) She is not pretty to look at (her nickname is SCRUFF !) but she is solid and makes me smile so what more do I need !?! :D On another topic - how are the plans for a beginners evening at Donnington going please ? Has there been enough interest ? It sounds like a fantastic idea and I would be very keen please. Very many thanks Steve

My regular spannerman(read local mechanic) has a partner who is already seven days overdue from making him a Daddy,so its unlikely he will make it Monday.

Hi Hotkiwi, Dave does not lie, it is a very friendly bunch of people who go along so you are sure to find someone to sit with you. Everyone was new to this at some stage. I would offer to sit with you but I have not driven Silverstone before so I will be on a learning curve as well. Just take it easy and build your speed and confidence during the day. At the briefing, they will make allowances for the fact that not everyone has done a track day before. Have fun! [QUOTE=Hotkiwi]And Im gettin nervous!

Hi Hotkiwi Don't worry. The morning sessions start off slowly with sighting laps so that everyone find their feet. Everyone tends to get faster as the day progresses but some go home earlier anyway so there's more track to yourself by that time. The important thing is to drive at a pace you're comfortable with and not to be dragged along following a faster driver (possibly in a slower car). After a few laps you'll wonder what you were so concerned about. See you Monday. Neil

Hi Guys Was a great day out. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Would love to see more photos posted if anyone has. Cheers Gerald (Titanium Elise)

I'm afraid I can't really make out the registrations from the digital images. They were taken on high res, but I cropped right into them in Photoshop. Fingers crossed that the photos I get back on CD will have more detail. I can't remember if I took any of your Elise, Gerald, but it should be easy to pick out from the MGs! I must say thanks to everyone at the MGCC and MGoT for organising another brilliant day. Even though I wasn't driving it was good to see all the cars on track and to meet up with a great bunch of people again.
13/04/2005 20:48:40

In addition to Georgina's photos there are some others that should appear in the gallery soon. Also, there was a commercial photographer attending the day. His name is Jim Gaisford and he will send out proofs to you if you'd like to provide a car reg and address details. I'll get an email address for Jim and post it here for you.

I am still waiting for the postman to return my CDs with photos from Silverstone - Kodak seem to be taking a bit longer to process them than normal. I will post some on-track images as soon as I get them sorted. I really must add a digital camera to my Christmas list this year.

You make me sound fussy :D Snetterton sounds good (very quick circuit). I will try to get to Anglesey next year if this is re-run. Looking at [url="http://www.racingcircuits.net/UnitedKingdom/"]http://www.racingcircuits.net/UnitedKingdom/[/url] , there are so many tracks to try. My personal opinion is why do a track more than once. I am not the easiest customer :rolleyes: As a note Dave, I thought that splitting the session into the 3 levels of expereince/car type worked really well at Silverstone. It is the best track day I have attended in that respect.

Personally, I haven't tired of either Brands or Donington, but yes I'd love to try some new ones too :) Glad you enjoyed Silverstone - the three sessions based on experience is how we always do it, if we have the whole day ourselves. We'll be doing this again at Cadwell.

Sounds good - was not going to push my luck and ask for a foreign F1 circuit (or Lotus test track at Hethel) :p I'll get the flexible friend ready and the knee pads for a bit of grovelling to the bank manager :D Thanks once again.

[size=2]The photographer who attended Silverstone has just provided us with a much revised offer. You can now find thumbnails of his photos in the MGoT photo gallery - at [/size][url="http://www.mgs-on-track.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=3019"][u][size=2][color=#0000ff]http://www.mgs-on-track.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=3019[/u][/color][/size][/url] [size=2]He can email full sized images of any of these to you at just £5 per photo (minimum order of two photos). If you want prints he is prepared to do these at 30% discount on the pricing he previously advertised. If you are interested, please contact him directly at [email="john.gaisford@btinternet.com"]john.gaisford@btinternet.com[/email] Also, if Martin Woods has captured any of you on film, he is happy to send you full sized images at no cost - check his pics out in the Silverstone gallery as well. You can get in touch with Martin at [size=2][email="t1.frp@virgin.net"]t1.frp@virgin.net[/email] or send him a private message through the forum. [/size] I also have a CD with around 60 photos courtesy of Malcolm Lee. Again he is happy for me to provide these high res images to anyone free of charge. It will take me a little longer before I can get these up in the gallery I'm afraid, as I'll have to send the CD to our webmaster for a bulk upload! If anyone wants me to specifically look for their car, just let me know (email me car model, colour and reg) [/size]
