It's a good laugh isn't it, I did the same as you and cooked the pads. Need to invest in some decent ones before a second attempt or any kind of track day.

Glad it was a good trip with no dramas.

Just out of interest, where did you stay?

lol, its the walk up the winding path outside that knackers me out more than the steps up the tower

How many laps did you manage to get in? I saw a pic yesterday of the traffic queueing back up the road just to even get in the car park, looked silly busy.

Managed 5 laps, was going to do another but the brakes just smelt like they had enough,
It's was mad , every lap I finished the track was closed and we was parked up the finished straight waiting to get into the car park ,
There's a clip on you tube of a mini smashing to bits yesterday so that was prob one, but I reakon well over a thousand cars, the roads were solid

Also worth a note, they was strict on cars, I had no front number plate on as removed it in the car park as have cooling ducts, I had to refit,
A guy in a m3 with full wrap around buckets was refused as to restrictive, and so fair few being turned away

Glad you had a good time dude its such an amazing place, It was the same with the closures when we where all there in May, half of Sunday was closed, the weather was great so it would have been very busy I guess.
