MX-5 at Oulton Park (Trackday, quite a lot of sideways action, then some dry laps)

[AdamR]

Hello,

Here's a vid from Saturday at Oulton. Was freezing cold all day, and rain overnight meant the track was pretty dodgy early on! It dried throughout the day to end up with an almost fully dry line.

The vid is pretty long... The first bits are most entertaining I think, then maybe the last few minutes to show the contrast between morning and afternoon conditions!

0:05 - My mate Adam going sideways a lot
1:05 - Me going sideways a lot
1:54 - Me chasing Dave with Stan as passenger
6:05 - A lap on my own hunting down a Porsche
8:20 - Me driving with Adam in the passenger seat, following Stan
11:40 - Clear lap with a dry track (turns out my quickest at Oulton in that car)
14:00 - Me doing it wrong!



Cheers,
Adam

Looks a lot of fun! Just shows you don't need much, as long as it RWD.

Some great driving and a load of fun - but remember hands at quarter to three all the time, no leg resting

Cheers guys - was a fun day!

Also had a blast in my mate's Clio, made me want one again Even pretty standard (bar Apex springs and a rear ARB) it was so good.

My mate Rich was there in the Orange MX-5 that he ended up blowing the engine on due to lack of oil.

I love the short throw on MX gear levers so much!

Oh, dear!
Think Adam found that out the hard way too?
Max or above is the only way.

Yeah man, it's a decent little gearbox.
