John, PM me your address again and will drop your ticket in the post. I'm hoping I can still book a few laps although I may have left it a bit late.

Anyone else going? That's gotta be almost up north surely?

A phone call later and it seems I'd booked 2 twenty minute sessions anyway! I'm not quite sure how that happened because I certainly don't remember doing it. Very odd.

So will you be getting in on the drift sessions John?

I am thinking about it as it is only a six hour drive

[e21-Mark]

Go on Jason. You know you love a road trip.

Today was awesome. By far my best experience of a track session and Mallory itself is the nuts. Really suits an e21 too. As I'm not what you might call an ''experienced'' track driver I figured I would try and stick with a well sorted MK2 Escort that was also in my session. I followed it for the first session and learnt the circuit. In the 2nd session I caught, passed and left it for dead. I don't know what my lap times were but more than one person remarked on just how well the e21 went for a novice driver. Devils elbow flat in 3rd was the best corner imo.

Drift cars put on quite a show too. Shame you couldn't make it Murran as an e21 would have looked great amongst the Jap stuff. There was a really good mix of cars there too.

I cannot wait for next year!











I'll upload all the pics of the other cars later.

dont tell me how great it was.... its all ive been thinking about today as to why ive not been there!
i know what you mean about mallory tho. its an awsome track one of the best in the uk, only topped by cadwell imo!

Car looks great but I think I prefer my sunstrip - my font is from the forum stickers Jeroen did a few years ago.



Presumably you will be coming to Croft???

[e21-Mark]

Mine was just a quick e-bay jobbie as I only had a few days to sort the car. I'm really glad I got it in time for today and am really looking forward to Crystal Palace now that I've got a bit more confidence behind the wheel. When is Croft? I may be away?

A few crap i-phone pics from today...
