Goodwood Friday 30th April Trackday in 'The Bullet'
I am doing a Trackday @ Goodwood on Friday 30th April in my Sunbeam Lotus aka 'The Bullet' I'm going to learn the circuit in advance as I am competing there in a Sprint Meeting on Saturday 15th May.
Any other guys on here going to be there? We will have a passenger seat in and I'm really looking forward to seeing some very puzzled Supercar owners faces in the Paddock Scratching their heads thinking how did a 30 yr old hatchback with a normally aspirated 4 Pot Lotus Twin-cam on Twin Webers just waste their GT3/Galliardo |

If it's a track day I assume full fireproof overalls are not required? |

You are welcome to come along for a ride and take few snaps.
There 5 members from the Sunbeam Lotus Owners Club coming for a spin too There are only 25 cars there with only 5 out at a time so should be plenty of tracktime and very little traffic to hamper full race speed I need to get plenty of laps in test the new Neg camber/toe-in axle and the other suspension upgrades they have fitted (fitting at the moment) also need the practice for the Sprint as you only get 2 practice laps and 2 attempts at 1 standing start lap for your times. No overalls required, suggest you bring your own skidlid as the alternative is my old one which is a bit race sweated up..lol My mobile is 07903863517 Cheers Joss |

Those Corvettes are the business arn't they Andy?
I thought about getting one instead of my M5, but the thought of driving my noisey EVO or the Mrs's Wranger every we take our daughter/friends out made my mind up very quickly for me. In the M5 I can take the familly out and get to rag it about on trackdays too I have never driven one of those Vettes and I have driven most things with my line of business including Zonda, most Ferraris, Lambos, Gt40, Skyline GTR, Smart Passion lol etc but never a wild Corvette. Bet its great for big smoky sideways crowd pleasers But unfourtunately for you Andy I think that unless you have had some tricks done to the awsomely quick Corvette a certain weedy hatchback will give it an embarressing spanking |
