You just saw those rally cars and wanted a bit of that action.There was a good reason for that - I was doing the "nature trail" circuit. And very lovely it was, too.

Easier said than done when Jabba the Hut is behind the wheel of a 700bhp GTR and decides to slide across in front when you're braking at 150+ and there's a TVR 15 feet to your right!! Twitchy hole ensued, followed by a good dose of remonstrating with said "fat c*** in a Datsun". My words, I have a mixture of pleasure and shame about them.Stay out of the way of the silly fast cars on the straight unless you're called MAF. The only "dodgy" bit there is the end of the straight, cars and drivers of differing speeds and ability trying to make the last corner can make it interesting.
think I'll check out some day insurance..........might be a grey area just now but willing to bet next year's renewal that if something happens most insurance companies will view it as not coveredIt's not a track day (did we mention that), so something of a grey area. Some have been told that no insurance is required, others the absolute opposite.

Bit of a nature ramble?

For those that haven't been to Bruntingthorpe here is a lap. It's not a *good* lap, but it gives you a sense of what the track looks like. http://youtu.be/dLSzht91lEw
Pretty rapid that Andy, is that the E46?
