North Weald Car Limits training day

[Felonious Crud]

I shall prepare to be non-plussed by my own abilities at the start, and pleased with my progress by the end.

Also, @Dan! may be less bored in case he's stuck behind me at LM this year. On a bicycle.

Agreed but don't expect my driving to be any good or better. I have had a checkered 18 months! As you say Adam, any improvement is welcomed as took the replacement TVR out the other day and didn't feel confident. It makes a big difference knowing the limits of the car and what it does then how it reacts at that point. Should have done the course 18 months ago and I would have been much better off

 

[Felonious Crud]

I seem to remember hearing or reading something along the lines of don't waste your money buying a faster car, buy some driving lessons. It's only taken 30 years!

That said, I did an advanced bike course a while back, which was really good.

You will all have a great time.
No cheating either, they make sure you turn all the driver aids off (if you have them)!

A variety of driver aids and one bloody great big hindrance behind the wheel.

Haven't got any on the TVR which was my issue last time! Have got the luxury of power steering on this one though. That and windows/doors that don't quite separate outside from inside when it rains

8 & something years of Maserati ownership and I'm still learning! What I do know is the more you spank them the better they get! I do need to get the geo setup finished with the new back tyres though, it makes a world of difference to them.

Out of all the days ! Think my wife is planning a weekend away with the kids as it’s a long weekend. I’ll try and sabotage it
Perfect opportunity to meet some of you (assuming I would still be welcom to watch, nothing like writing your own invitation )

Oliver, come along. Watching four fools, 36 cylinders and around 1900hp exceed the limits of its talents (repeatedly) is perfect family entertainment. Are you local (ish)?

I did one of these courses in my DB7 - it was insightful and I was amazed at just how quickly the old girl could take a corner before letting go.

Only downside (for me) was being a concrete airfield my tyres aged considerably and feathered badly on the leading edges.

 

[JonW]

I must remember to have put my summer tyres on before this, and frankly, it if contributes to my Pzeros needing to be replaced a bit sooner then that would almost be a bonus!

Same thinking here. They'll be getting binned and replaced with Michelins afterwards

15mins slow drive.I deffo will if I can, good breakfast round the other side of the airfield.

 

[Oliver6796]

Nice, would really love to join, but have to work to pay for my expensive hobby unfortunately. Anyone else interested in a weekend session? Or am I the only lucky one who still needs to work?

Anyway, enjoy it guys and don’t forget to share some videos of the actions!

Oh, it's a spectator sport?

I could be well up for that!
