Track day - Cadwell Park - Sun 3rd Dec

[Crunchie Gears]

The Ultima just gets through the static test. But a short shift meant the drive past was not a problem and did not make any difference to the lap time for a trackday.

I would go for it and 82 dB should not be a problem. Go for it

Late update, but thought I'd post how the track day went on Sunday 3rd December.

It was superb!
I'd over-nighted in a hotel about 12 miles from the circuit - the Full English breakfast served the next morning put me in fine spirits for the day ahead - although the traces of snow fall at the side of the road while driving to the venue concerned me slightly.

Track conditions were wet and cold - very slippery. That's just how I like it though, and it was great fun exploring the available grip and traction in the morning. No dramas, and after lunchtime the sun was firmly out with a clear, blue skies and a dry line had appeared. By the end of the day much of the circuit was dry. Highlight was probably sticking to the bum of a Caterham 620R for 5 laps (which was 2 up in fairness) - he wasn't going to let me past, but to be honest it's more fun chasing than being chased I think. Also did a long 40 minute stint in the afternoon. Car was faultless.

I definitely rate Cadwell as the best track I've done. The undulations, some slower corners, and the more narrow track make it perfect for a 7 IMO.

nice one Steve, had wondered how you had fared......

It is certainly one of the best tracks in the country. Anglesey, Croft and Oulton Park are close if you are looking for other tracks to go to.
