I booked Donington off the back of my friend saying it was a no noise limit day hosted by RMA trackdays. Personally I'd never heard of RMA trackdays but my friend does a lot with them so I said ok. The cool thing was MadM1ke87 was now ready to hit the track with his beast so he jumped on too.
Once again the car was loaded to the hilt with wheels, fuel and spares lol. When we pulled in to say we got a shock was an understatement! The garages were full of racetrucks, BTCC teams, Ginetta....you name it! The normal cars were Lambo's, Ferrari's, Porches (you get the jist here)......We rolled in two 20 year old Honda civics that we drove there lol!
So we went in our pit garage next to a mclaren and jaguar and i said "eyup" in my Yorkshire accent.....He didn't reply haha!
Off to the drivers briefing we went, we were basically told it was a motorsport test day, spin once you get a telling off, spin twice you're off! Overtake where you want just don't hit anyone!
So back to the garages we went, feeling a bit overwhelmed if I'm honest. Went out in the first session and the car felt sweet, passed quite a few cars too! When me and mike came back to the garages a lot of people walked down pit lane to look at the cars as they couldn't believe how fast they were lol!
As the day went on and we got to know the track better we started really pushing, god I loved it, with the camber arms and seats the car felt so much better, I'd also switched to carbone lorraine RC6 pads which were brilliant!
I went out one last time in the afternoon, quite late on too. I had Mike in with me as I'd been out in his, we were on it and then going round coppice onto the back straight I had a tyre let go! I didn't know what had happened tbh, possibly a shaft but I limped the car back to the pits to find the tyre had started to delaminate.
No damage was sustained so I knew that was a sign to call it a day, back on went the Enkies, loaded the car up and watched for the last hour.
