Managed to get the p1 home then went back again to Dover and got the 12.05 ferry and then caught up with everyone. Damn knackered now.

P1 will need a new wing and left mirror and indicator and spraying of course. Hop the suspension wasn't damaged but didn't want to risk it on track

Incredible circuit - will be posting some videos and pictures when I get back. Wet start for the first session but the track soon dried off. Huge amounts of time on the circuit and I wouldn't want any more time on the circuit due to potentially damaging the car. It was well organised for a sessioned day. I think we did about 30 odd laps each. The gradients are daunting when you see them for real life - the tv and PS3 just don't capture them or come anywhere close! For pure driving experience the best circuit I've driven by a long long way....

Only what I saw on facebook - think he had a problem with the car and had to leave it at Jackies in one of her garages and fly back. Guess he's going to get it sorted and fly back out to collect it, or arrange to have the car recovered back to the UK.

£395 for 2 days open pitlane. Weather could be interesting but nothing a scoob couldn't handle. Wonder how much for a session with Sabine?

Think it may be better when it's warmer - although it will be more expensive

Be nice to have it slightly warmer and drive on some 888's there (I need to buy some first! and some wheels to fit them too :P)
+ might be good to have an extra day or 2 and perhaps do the "double header" and make a trip to visit the ring at the same time as its so close and such a petrol head mecca.
