Did anyone else go? I didn't see any other Scoobys on track apart from mine!! There was a STi UK and a classic turbo in the paddock but that was about it.

Great day out, 4 wheels drifts in the wet. I love it!!

As with motorway driving, the rain bought out the idiots on the track. One guy in a race done up rover obviously had his hearing aid turned off in the drivers briefing or didn't know what 'over taking on the straights only' meant.

Red flags came out every 45mis or so for the spinners but no serious damage to any cars that I saw, just the drivers pride!

MG race team was down there doing some testing and wow where they quick

Could of done with out the 40 year old Jag out there that was doing a great job of being the mobile chicane. Muppet.

For £75 (+insurance) twas not bad for a full day. More dates all through Jan and Feb of which at least one I will be attending.

Worst things about the day were the 2 hour+ journey in the rain to get there, price of food (£4.50 for sausage, chips and beans ), and the price of on-site petrol (99.9p a litre!!) but hay you can't have everything

Nezz.

Glad you enjoyed Dono

The crx had some proper broadside action thru craner, not as easy to control with FWD tho

Looking forward to the next one

What sort of Rover was it?

Gridlock Mikey

I was there, all cold and wet, but fun none the less

DBM MY00 in the paddock car park

I am a little undecided about the lexus stylie lights, not that they look bad, just not what i was expecting. The car DID sound fabulous though

Mikey

Was a rover 200 coupe, MY95 ish I think, yellow paint job with lots of stickers. Anyone want to own up to it?

Cheers Mikey, didn't see a MY00 DBM but did see a light blue R-reg there.

markbluemica

I parked behind the r reg with cossie killer on the number plate and scoobynet stickers on it!


Mark

Gridlock Mikey

I was parked next to him on the right and later had Student Bloke's RB5 behind me

Mind you it was a 5hitty day so maybe that's why no-one saw me

Mikey

markbluemica

What happened to the Rover? I turned up to spectate about lunchtime, and it seemed quite quick, but erratic. Not really surprised that he crashed .

Didn't stay long, as GF was moaning about being cold and wet . Does anyone know if there are more of these days in December? I'm getting tempted to track the current car as long as its dry

You bloody sanctimonious lot! Just what gives you the right to flame other drivers so openly? There were a fair few bad driver's out there, but considering it never stopped raining all day - what did you expect - an orderly procession? There were only 3 of you out there that had the benefit of 4wd, so have some respect for those that didn't!!

Simon220

I still wanna know what graphics were on it

As a week ago a yellow rover Coupe turbo peed on everything including a 350bhp P1. The rover had a std engine with 227bhp.

Si

markbluemica

It was totaly covered all differant graphics and it was quick I think the guy in the escort coz would have gave him a run for his money though (Feckin mental)

Matt Churchill

Neil, did you actually manage to survive this track day without stuffing your car then?

Matt

bluto22b

Wheres Donginton ? lol......Blutes

Nezz10

LOL @ Matt.

Yes I did manage to get the car home in one piece, this time

I (luckily) only had a small moment when I went to fast into the long corner before the back straight. Started to go very close towards the gravel and thought I was going to get a couple of dirty tyres but a change down and flooring it sorted that out

Have you ever done Donington Matt? Lovely track (especially in the wet ). The corner that starts to go up hill towards the spitfire model was the best. Booting out of that one would always make the rear end jump out but just keep it floored and a little reverse lock and there was simles all round

Redkop - As for the yellow rover it wasn't that fact he was fast and spining off everywhere. It was his driving manners that could be improved. He would stay about 2" away the rear bumper of anyone that dared to get in his way, overtake around corners and into the braking zones - which we had been told 'NOT TO DO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES' and in the wet as well!! It could of ended up in a very nasty and expensive accident . The fact that it is not just me flaming him just goes to show how unconsiderate his driving was.

Redkop where you even there to see his driving?

Blutes - Donington is near Nottingham, just above Birmingham.

Redkop,
You had to see his driving to beleive it, as I said in my earlier post he went in too deep too fast, and the guy lost it big style, nothing to do with 4WD or rear or front cos their were other people having moments, but the guy in the Rover had one of the best ones of the day, their was a guy in a 3 series BMW who lost it coming onto the pit straight, but he held onto it.
Cheers
Colin

Redkop

Yes I was there!!!

Have booked one of these cheap days myself, I now know what the trackday cover man meant when he said the premium would be in the highest risk band.

Just out of interest were people who over-took on bends shown the black flag and sent home or did no one care?

75 quid for a full day at Don? And there are more days like these coming up? How do I book up?
