Re: 21st July Silverstone Track Taster & Photoshoot Sign Up
I was very tempted to sign up for this but the early start put me off.
Looking at the photos and reading through these comments is making me regret my decision. Really glad you'll had a good time (feel for you Shinny).

Just to let you all know, I have posted on Silverstone's Facebook page thanking them for their hospitality and a great day. Thoroughly deserved in my mind

Sorry to hear of your woes Shinny, next time eh?!shinny wrote:It's cos you ran over my magic oil and got all my good lucksinjen wrote:Awesome day Jay, thanks for organising. When's the next one?
3 miles out Silverstone she started boosting normally with no noise, so I'm completely mystified now...
Glad you all had a good time; am well gutted it all went wrong for me. Still, sign me up for the next one
The noise has gone mate, back to the way it was before ie only on startup but it's not boosting properly so you're still probably right about the turboMR2Jay wrote: No idea on your turbo mate, that definitely sounded like the impellers hitting the casing. May well be worth talking to Nathan bud... Glad it's Ok to get you home though
But it was so worth it, 8 laps of heaven
I spoke too soon mate, still got an issue with it but hey, great to meet you and everyone elsecheekyneil wrote: Sinjin – chuffed your turbo sorted it’s self out; mystery why it went wobbly on you for a while

I'm taking that as a huge compliment of my supreme driving abilities!
Sorry to hear the car is still in trouble, hope its nothing too bad.

Re: 21st July Silverstone Track Taster & Photoshoot Sign Up
Cheers to Jay for organising this & Silverstone for letting us go for a play on their hallowed ground Thanks to everyone else for making it a great session, was good to meet some new (to me, anyway) faces, t'was my first OC gathering in nearly 6 years!
Loved it, can't wait for the next one! I'll have some 16"s & bigger brakes by then though, learned that lesson today

Re: 21st July Silverstone Track Taster & Photoshoot Sign Up
Big to Jay and (?)Joanne at Silverstone for putting on a brilliant day (despite the early start!).
Good to put faces to some folk who were previously just names on the forum. Plus the usual suspects of course!
The corner I struggled with was Maggots (the right hander leading into the Wellington Straight). I missed the apex several times!

If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Re: 21st July Silverstone Track Taster & Photoshoot Sign Up
Thanks for organising this Jay. Really good experience and exactly why I bought this car!
The car performed well, needs better brakes though!
Good to meet more people, Sijen, I hope you get your turbo sorted out
I struggled with the braking into brooklands, the rest was good although near the end the brakes were going off & so were the front tyres. That might have been because I attacked it for the whole session with no slow laps

Re: 21st July Silverstone Track Taster & Photoshoot Sign Up
Well, one silver lining from not making it to Silverstone is that the RAC have given me 2 months extra membership for free after I was stuck in that lay-by for pretty much 4 hours

That's good to know, the brakes certainly felt the strain!alanwheeldon wrote:That's what you were supposed to do Craig ;-)
Should have Rev 2+ brakes fitted this weekend
Gutted for you shinny, was looking forward to seeing your car on track again. Hopefully it'll be all sorted soon enough for you.
