They do tend to sell out fast, yes. Plan to go myself for sure. Not sure about two seats, there are usually a few race cars there, Tony has had the Bonda down. But no single-seaters for sure (formula racers, etc.).

You boys did seem to enjoy yourself, though thankfully not quite as much as the one with the orange wheels!

Yep, the cooling fan on the engine kicked in on the second lap, so that means 92+ against a normal 80 after just one lap, lol :grinning: Never comes on normally except in stand-still traffic. And the tyres just disappeared inside two laps or so. No more than five laps or so per session before at least 30 mins cooling down, against normally 20-30 minutes on track.

The car is probably still cooling down in the garage :p

What sort of cars does mondello get on a public track day? A lot of track prepared stuff or more road bias cars?

Huge mix on the open days, anything from nice road cars to race cars to "one-day specials". And drivers to match. Not as consistently good as the OTD days, the Open days can be a little bit hit and miss. Sometimes packed full, sometimes quiet; sometimes good standards, sometimes the odd pleb.

Overall usually ok though, if you feel the urge and there is no OTD day on :grinning:

The one i did there was more race cars and modified track cars there.Even some of the road cars where running race tyres.Your bombing round wondering why you cant catch the battered old ford ka ahead then findout its a full on race car sleeper with a 1.7 puma engine lol class! you have as much fun out in a slower car and use less fuel winner!
