Hoping to be there, expecting it to be slippy, should be a challenge in the yellow m

I am not going to make this one, to many work commitments. I hope you all have a good day, and I would just like to thank all the Trackskills crew for a great years trackdays.

Hope to see you all there next year again!

I wont even be about motorsport at all Tony, other than trailing the mates fiesta about for him.

no money at motorsport anymore so its finally time to concentrate on other areas of business that will keep food on the table.

An old mate of mine (in his 60's but like a brother) was a time served in all areas of motorsport man and a few years back hung all the suits up and stated "there is more to life" this has dwelled on me ever since and indeed the time came for me to pack it in after 15 years of media/official duties and competing most weekends.

expanding my wedding & commercial business as well as my own wedding next year is much more important for the long run of life and plenty of hobbies out there to try out :grinning:

Extra cars now booked include a Caterham, an Integra, and a Golf. Oh, and the Merc is a C63 (sorry!).

Good luck with the future, paying the bills comes first but its not so easy to walk away. I spectated at my first event aged 4 with my dad and 50 years later I still love motorsport as much as ever. Good luck with the business

Great day today lot of people going quick,,dry but cold not as much grip , flat spotted a tyre going into the chicane had to go straight on! does this make me a racing driver? Now the white integra can approach a corner in a multitude of positions and still get round it .

That yellow M3 is sublime... Really impressive pace! We were in awe watching it grip around corners as it went past like we were stopped!

DC2 was flying also, good to see another one driving home also!

Had a great run at the end in the dark with the blue 205, it left me easily down the straights, on corners and braking I could make up time, that's was seriously close driving at times! ;)

Had a great day out with my dad in the DC2, but was ended early with the brakes catching fire on my account and being generally poor. It's finally time to upgrade the brakes with some 282mm calipers, we're firm believers in upgrading with reason. The car is getting better every time we bring it up, appreciate the positive comments. I have since sold my Yellow EK and just yesterday secured a 98' spec DC2 in Japan after a lot of hunting, so will have it up in the new year to see how it's going :grinning:.

The navy 330CI was going better than ever I thought and the yellow M3 was fast as usual!
