Scottish Elises

Hi gents,

I assume that there are a few L-on-T members out there, so whats the score on training? The girlfriend lives in Preston so Oulton park is quite convienient and there is a L-on-T day on the 21st Jan.

I have been looking for some driver training with consistant write ups that dosn't require a trip to North Weald and Mr Walshy (Though undoubtedly worth it!)

Any thoughts?

Rich

IMHO - You'd need to have planet sized bollocks to attempt Oulton Park in the winter.

Superb track but not the most forgiving.

Cheers

Rich,
You can get training with LoT instructors for £10-15 for half a dozen laps and its excellent. It's more lines and finer points of driving the circuit rather than Walshy style basic car control skills. No substitute for a Walshy day IMHO.
Wait for Walshy at Crail in May...?

Cheers,
Ali

i'm booked on this. walshy sometimes does the LOT tuition, but not sure if he's booked on this day

Maybe I'll just go and watch then... (Bollock measurement not required! )

Thanks

Rich

you could always just drive well within your limits and build them up slowly, then no need to have bollocks the size of planets.

.....as you ably demonstrate....

glad you've taken some notice of my driving style anyway.

Yeah - the rear clam "enhancements" are a bit of a give away

In all seriousness Rich, I'd usually agree with Neil about building up speed on a track etc etc... But Cadwell in winter is probably not the best learning ground - it only takes a split second lockup or getting a tyre on the wrong bit of grass to end up a passenger into the tyres, no matter how steady you are.

Prolly better getting to a specific walshy day at North Weald, or doing a bit of learning at Knockhill first off. Best way is to start getting lots of pax laps and then go out yourself on a SIDC day or similar - there are always instructors available there.

Then see if Walshy makes it up in May.

Just as well it's oulton park we are talking about then.

Still on the old morphine are we

.....ah

TBH - I've got zero mental or physical energy.... ddin't stop the boss 'requesting' that I pop in today and tomorrow though...

From what I've seen of oulton, the advice probably still stands

You never been to Oulton Shug?

'Fraid not. On the list next year.

I'd like to do Oulton during the summer, when there's a chance of getting some grip round the back end of the circuit.
