Sorry it’s sold out

@Sir Nancy Flowers it was great to meet you but I only went out on track once. Everytime I saw you heading to the car you had ballast already anyway, maybe next year and maybe I could coax you into the poo goat for a coupe of laps. I literally spent all day talking to people and @SCJM21 (or Phteven as we know him) was telling me how good his wife's mk4 tce was and then said "right I'm off back out" so I jumped in with him for some laps and that was at about 16:00! I've never talked to so many people while sober or had so many hugs in a day 😂.

 

[Barley]

Fanks babes! It was an exceptional thing to watch fly about. I only wish id checked in my rear view mirror at that hairpin where I went sideways, then you copied me and it nearly all went very wrong. @Krarl meanwhile was just thinking 'How the f**king f**k am I going to slow my car down enough to not plough into both those fuckheads'. In all fairness, I was a little preoccupied trying to gather my own car up. I cant remember who was passengering with me when that happened? Might have been @Barley - please tell me you had those epic sunglasses on!

I think it was the last session right? I'll check the glasses when I get in!

 

[Clio_fool]

Good breakfast there!

Yes it was just what we needed.

My journey home took a little longer than expected. Spot the silly mistake 😆.

To be fair it wasn't all that bad. After breakfast at Llyn Brenig visitor centre we pointed the sat nav to Wrexham and then home which took me through god knows where while skirting around below Manchester until it spat me out at Glossop onto the snake pass which was mostly driven at 0.25 of the speed limit 🙄.

 

[S-JM]

f**king hell mate, you weren't kidding when you said you somehow ended up boarding 15 ferries in a row.

 

[Louis]

His name was Rob and he is a lovely man but we all called him NewLou.

👁👄👁

I'm just glad Charon told me it wasn't my time and gave me good directions 😂.

 

[MLB]

It was definitely a slower track compared to last year. The amount of rubber scattered about the track was incredible.

OK so it might have been a bit more than usual 😂

Just got the wheels off and this is the harvest from just the fronts and having only done the afternoon session!

No wonder I had some vibrations on my way home 🤔

 

[Touring_Rob]

I think there must have been an event on before we got there, all slicks or something. Track was absolutely coated in rubber 😂

Mine were the same!

Pulled my track wheels out of my boot last night and just 'dusted' them off with my gloves on. Walked out to get in my car this morning and said to myself 'WTF is that pile of black stu.....oh....yeah'

It was nuts!


Also, great to meet you mate! Sorry we didnt get to chat much, I was absolutely fried by that stage.....and id had a beer 🤣

 

[andybond]

Thought my plastic shed was falling to bits on the way home. The sound of the rubber bits disloding under the metal untrays caused some slight concern.

I dare not check in the garage just in case the plastic shed was falling to bits ...

 

[Krarl]

It was probably just @RSRowe and @JB21 nearside front tyres and half of my NSR from where it was catching the arch🤣

No Limits bike track day, so will have been a lot of slicks 😂

Yeah you just wanted to go back to @MarkCup 😜

Next year I promise I'll be there earlier in the day to actually have a chat and maybe passenger a lap in the M140i 👍

[RSRowe]

A bit preemptive. But can we do the layouts the opposite way next year plez. Costal then National

Or just all Coastal 😛

 

[RSRowe]

Ooooo I’m not too sure about that. I really enjoy national, though the hairpin itself is a bit of a bore.

National FTW!

 

[NorthloopCup]

The bloody thing just wouldnt go in a straight line ! Diff Required @NorthloopCup 👀

You want the Mperformance one mate. It’s a good diff tbf.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Few people I've not met before which was good to put a face to the name, @NorthloopCup wasn't what I was expecting, for some reason I had you penned as some middle aged bloke covered in oil doing gearbox refurbs in your garage.

The disappointment was evident on your face mate. 😂😂

 

[Martin_172]

.

People I wanted to meet but never found - please come and find me next time!!
Scottish Martin Gallagher

Next year!!

😂 That will be my name badge next year

I spent the day stressing that the 197 was going to break, not because I wouldn't get it home but because I had told everyone if it did I was going to stand on the roof and auction it off at a massive loss and I knew I couldn't back out!!

Assume Ron will do a vote again like this year.

 

[Filters]

The hot laps with @Filters and @RSRowe were epic. £30 well spent. That Caterham was something else.

Mate, thank you for your donation, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself as much as I did 👍

@Filters - Youre a madman in that caterham 🤣. I didnt really introduce myself properly but it was me who said 'Full send, dear boy' as I got in. Oh, and you told me your lovely partner would fondle my balls once inside the Caterham 🤣. Epic work and all for a mega cause too. Fair f**king play to you mate. Id love to have you as a passenger next year and get some coaching off you!

Put me in any car and I'm at home 😂 I believe full send was achieved, I got a slight telling off after our laps from the chief marshal for too much sideways action in one lap 🤣 I am considering whether to abandon the hotlaps for next year and ask for donations towards tuition instead.

I Just had a flashback of a proper memorable quote from @J-J 😂😂
(As he was telling us about his time in the Caterham)

“As we went down the back straight and I saw how fast we were going, all I could think of was ‘how will they cut me out of this when it crashes’

😂😂😂😂😂

Mate, I felt so bad for good ole @J-J 😂 more on that below....

I was genuinely squashed in like playdoh, @Filters misses had to proper mould me into it and buckle me in, absolutely zero dignity whilst Terry just stood laughing at me. I still don't know how they'd have removed my from the cage without cutting me into chunks.

Fair play to you I say mate, I appreciate it's not the most dignified means of entry or exit in to the car 😂 but you did well and more so considering how damn tall you are! I saw @Cookie laughing so I docked him a lap for being a mean git and laughing instead of helping you out. How very dare you enjoy someone else's misfortune of their arse hanging out as they try to wedge themselves free from a coffin on wheels 🤣 that's meant to be my job!

I tried finding you in the evening... poof you were gone, leaving me feeling like a riiiiiight pr*ck and panicking that I'd given you a panic attack! I hope you choked on your KFC 🤣

Announcement at 4pm.

I would definitely be up for donations for tuition, mainly because there is no way I fit in a caterham😂

 

[Little Newms]

@Daniel Drop your car off to Alex in prep for 2025! Won't need to worry then 😉

 

[Touring_Rob]

Alex from where? If its the same place he had it last time he would be better to drop it off in 2023 in prep for 2025.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Alex from where? If its the same place he had it last time he would have been to drop it off in 2023 in prep for 2025.

Alex White from AW Motorworks.

There was that slight issue for some.
TBH, the last three years I've not had a chance to socialise at all so I may give hotlaps a miss next year!

 

[ChrisR]

Sounds like it was a good day!

Hoping I can make it up next year.

 

[MLB]

To be fair getting in is not the problem, my head just sticks out of the roll cage and it took two other people ten minutes to get me out last time i got in one.

As much fun as an experience run is, I think tuition is a lot more valuable to a lot of people.

Id be up for tuition, makes more sense in a lot of ways too Filters as you won't have to be forking out for fuel etc.

 

[J-J]

Another vote for tuition here @Filters, would love a few laps.

If you insist!

On a serious note, if you'd all take tuition over hotlaps, leave a like on this and we can look in to making it happen for next year.
I've raced both front and rear wheel drive with plenty of wins in both, 2022 GT4 Vice Champion and 2023 Clio Vice Champion so happy to pass on my knowledge 👍

 

[Krarl]

If you don't fit them I'm proper fucked

I imagine it'd be like trying to stuff play-doh back into it's tub

 

[Cookie]

I'll donate 20 quid to charity if you try and get in. Extra tenner if you get stuck and the fire brigade get called

 

[Clio_fool]

@Filters if you do tuituin laps you can socialise at the same time by calling everyone a useless c**t! 😂
