Not sure I'm willing to risk my freshly rebuilt Clio on a track that looks like it wants me in a concrete wall, I've not been on track in years and that looks very tight and technical with very little margin for error.

Youtube ANY track in the uk Dave and you will see the same, crashing is largely your choice too.
Unless you drive through fluids, then you've got no choice.

I'll have to watch some onboards then decide, I just don't like how close the concrete barriers are to the track.

I’m with you Dave, it does look tight in some of the videos I’ve seen. I’ll still be on track in the cayman though.

I do have an evening at Donnigton booked for the CS Invitational which will be my first track day in 6 years, it'll actually be the first time I've driven the Clio or anything fast in 6 years.

I just don't have the confidence I once had when the Clio was working, it's been a long time since I've pressed an accelerator in aggression.

Dave, come on this is CSF! Just chill out and pick your timings, head out and take it at your own comfortable pace. It ain’t a race, no one gives a f**k how fast you lap. Enjoy the car & the bants.

That's not how Clio's work and you know it, as soon as I hear that engine screaming I'm going to go full r*tard and stamp on it, I have very poor impulse control when I get excited.

I've only ever seen one person being mocked for being slow and that was only because their numberplate said FAST - just go as fast as you feel comfortable Dave, gets some tuition after you've done a few laps and you will be ok.
I think it's just a confidence thing, I can't even remember what the Clio feels like to drive, I'm sure it'll come back to me once it's back on the road, be a shame to miss out on the Gentleman's club.

There will be loads of people there willing to take you for some passenger laps too. You can come out with me but I'm sure others will be quicker!

@DaveDreads don't be worried about it

I've only had 1 moment at Cadwell and I've been a few times, that was in the rain on AR1s so it was bound to happen, even then it wasn't that bad and I didn't leave the tarmac. Just don't drive like your arse is on fire like a c**t

Don't be a massive f**king drip
