Noooo, I was just super slow in the morning. I've never been to Cadwell and I was honestly feeling really overwhelmed with how technical it was. I had picked up some pace by the afternoon but was getting really annoyed with myself going up Coppice(?), the fast uphill left after the track entry.

@YorkshireKyle was leaving me standing there.

By the end of the day though I absolutely loved Cadwell, maybe my favourite track now!

You were going well all day sir.

Annoyingly, I think the session I was behind you for a good 5 or 6 laps, my camera died!

Going up Coppice is scary, I tried following the pair of Mk1 Valvers and just couldn't carry the corner speed and had a scary brown pants moment. I went over to say hello and saw they were both on slicks and both cars were about 400kg lighter than mine so that explains the corner speed!

Great weekend as usual and a big thanks to all the team who organised it. Looking forward to next year already.

Thanks to @SharkyUK for the pictures

Only stayed for the afternoon on sat. Good to see so many clio RS still going. Some proper smart mk3 on the show and shine.
Favourite track car was that 308 gti, who's is that? Looked quick and super clean

thanks mate, she went well!

thanks mate, she went well!

Always liked them. Never sure how reliable those engines are though so never took the plunge.

they're really sensitive mate. gotta keep on top of maintenance a bit more than the german stuff, but if you're fine with that they're golden. can take some serious s**t while still keeping light with a 1.6!

Had a superb weekend.

Was great to speak to so many awesome people old and new faces. Just a great bunch with this stupid addiction we all share surrounding cars!

Even my A6 managed to get out on track albeit just the wheel bolt that helped plug the missing one from @Sidnancy S3!

Currently trawling through the many photos I took, sadly many of the trackside ones are bloody awful! But a few are decent, I just need to keep practicing.

But very happy with this one...

A man and his Clio (unless it's not his, in which case it's just Man & Clio)

Blimey, I must've been so quick on track that I missed all the professional photographers!

Correction: I thought I was too quick, but @SharkyUK is quicker..
