Scotty72 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 I'm off to Donington Park on Sunday 19th. Anyone else from here booked yet? Quote
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Enjoy. It's a great track. The weather's looking favourable too. Have you resolved your brake issue? Quote

Yes almost! Removed the wheels and gave the discs a rub down with some fine grit emery cloth. Put back together and Hey presto the judder had become hardly noticeable. Think I will remove the discs over the winter and give them a proper rub which hopefully will completely rid the issue. The advice on here is invaluable! 1 Quote

Oily Steve Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Hi Scott, I'm hoping to be there for the afternoon session Steve Quote
Scotty72 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Posted November 18, 2017 I'm aiming to be there around 7.45 as it's only two junctions down the M1 for me. Quote
Oily Steve Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 What a great track afternoon session that was! Excellent weather, on a great track and from what I could see the driving standards were very good from everyone I came across. Good to meet up with you Scott. Steve 1 Quote
Scotty72 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Posted November 20, 2017 Fab day at Donington, track was very cold first thing and with cold tyres understeered of at redgate on the 2nd lap (whoops), had a spin a bit later, dipstick somehow dislodged itself in the afternoon so the engine oil decided to coat the inside of the bonnet (and everything else backwards of the engine) and due to the high speed nature of the track, the plastic cycle wings decided to feed themselves to the front tyres and disintegrate. All in all, best day out I've had in a long time Couple of videos to follow when I've got time to upload them. P.s. Nice to meet you Steve, and sorry for using all your tissue! Scott 2 Quote

Based on recent experience it only appears to rain (the torrential variety) when you book a track day. When are you planning your next track day? ..I'll call you and stop using metcheck Hope all is well Quote
