Not a clue.

Someone on the forum got this picture when we took the car around Oulton Park as part of the supercar parade. Can't remember who it was though!

I bought this photo from the photographer as a print have it framed on the study wall

Parade lap at Brooklands a few years back,

I'm off to Donington in November.... but im in the wrong thread and the wrong car! (im going in the megane)

The nearest I've got to a track day is the Parade lap at Brands Hatch a few years ago in my asbo 4200.

That "parade lap" was epic! Who thought it was a good idea to let us on to the track with nothing in front of us! I can still see the marshals flagging like loons as we all floored it round to the start of the parade lap! Bloody marvelous!

I have done Donington in an Elise and Exige. You will have fun as it is a great track. Those Cramer curves are exhilarating but scary at the same time.

That was the fun of the forum track days not just a good number of Maseratis on one track but the variety of everything else.

Im knee down through there on the bike. I've crashed at McLean's, that's my nemesis

I'm too chicken to track my cars except on this occasion. My 4200 at Silverstone 2014, thanks to a forum member's rear camera:

Me in my E46 M3 at On Your Marks Bruntingthorpe. The old girl performed very well.

Great track cars, I tracked them twice on Kyalami, old style power from an award winning engine, old style gear changes and road holding to match

The funniest thing was the amount of 'panic braking' at the bottom of Pilgrims Drop just before the bend at Hawthorns!

A few definitely over did it and I'm sure there were a few palpitations whilst we lined up!

Poor old Ian @RSM Masser sitting on the side of the track waiting for a recovery truck for his 3200.

Thanks - remember it well and the offending starter motor that shredded itself!

I guess this counts too and I was undertaking the Aston at the time this photo was taken. Not my V8 Atom but man that's a track day car, utterly insane acceleration.

You can see the magnets have come unglued from the casing and have jammed the rotor, used to happen all the time

That is one track I would really love to drive. Just brilliant.
