Andy, it looks like KH themselves. It's only two hours though.

Done quite a few of the evening sessions, pretty good night. Just need to get out on track as much as you can, at least you don't need to re-fuel half way through the session.

None of the hot hatch boys there as they can get a full day for less than the cost of a 2 hour night session.

I've done a couple too - quite good etiquette on the ones I did

Fantastic night, very very wet but so much fun. 145BHP was just fine. :D

Some really fast machinery there, the yellow Race 458 Challenge was awesome in the wet and a new R8 V10 was ballistic. Only one other Elise, an S1 with a very large spoiler, and one VX 220.

Well worth the run down, the run back was a bit of a challenge with loads of standing water.

Was it busy Graham?

I am not sure that I could be convinced to drive all the way down (and back) just for two hours on track though.

I always enjoy a wet trackday.

How is the S1 now?

There was about 20 cars, pretty sure I had more track time last night than I had at SIDC day on the 26th. Just kept going in and out until about 10 mins before stopping time when I had no fuel left. Got to admit I was knackered at the end of it.

What time did you leave Aberdeen yesterday Graham?

I was thinking that a summer evening run back over Glenshee on the back of trackday could tempt me.

Sounds good if the weather is fine, got to admitt I would have been too knackered for it last night.

I left ABZ at 3pm and was way early, could proabaly leave 3.15 or 3.30 at a push.

My 1st track day was a late summers evening 2hr event at Knockhill. Loved it as the sun went down and the session came to an end at dusk. T-shirts on, roof off and lovely drive back over Glenshee. :thumbsup

Copy the " 5hXb60CCyjE " bit from the youtube link, then when posting, press the "youtube" button at the top of the text box, and paste the "5hXb....." into it. Job = Carrot :thumbsup
