Silverstone Arena TrackDay

December 5th, 2011

To tsy thankyou to the boys at CTR, we decided t tack them all on a trackday to Silverstone so they could drive the Lotus and passenger etc. We also took an appendix K historic mini, John Griffith’s Porsche and the Arachnid. Once the boys were happily driving, spinning and everything else that goes with it, I took out the Arachnid so I could get a bit more seat time, s to be honest I have not really had the opportunity to actually drive the car much and still am trying to get my head around the grip!

You will see that I could have actually gone considerably faster pretty much everywhere, but for some reason my right foot wouldnt do what I asked it to do!

Anyway, I made it to the Silverstone SPEED race, and overall I had a brilliant time! I decided that as it was my first race I just wanted to finish to get some signatures on my license, which I did!
