Did an open pit lane trackday at Brands Hatch on the Friday just gone which was superb  I went with an M3 CSL, Astra VXR Burg and Clio 172.
Had really good weather after a damp start to the morning so was a very enjoyable day with no incidents from anyone. I think the only 2 incidents on the day were a Supra springing an oil leak then having a small fire & a BMW losing a wheel.
And my average fuel for the day

Great pics, that blue astra vxr belongs to a lad on vxrowners, hes done a shit load of mods to make it a good track car.
The csl looks great as well. The burg looks seriously clean.

Fantastic pics mate! Your car looks ace! Also like the pic of the tripod Saxo
The Supra (L66 TOY) was on the Modball Rally when I went a few years back. It was packing silly power back then! 850bhp iirc.
Burg looks good with the BBS's!

Yeah he said it had trackday tyres on it, looked very quick out there. He only had Hankook track tyres on but they were holding up alot better than my Paradas as he was gripping better through Clearways when he was behind me

That's the one! It's still kept seriously clean but used properly by my mate who now owns it who is a bit of a detailing guru too gonna be a weapon soon!

Yeah I'm impressed with them! They were stopping me well all day, the grooves make the Ferodos very dusty though! Just need a change of fluid as they went a bit spongey at times

It's just a diesel I think it wasn't going particularly fast out there!
It's a good little track it's more complicated than it looks from beside it, Paddock Hill bend is just amazing!

Exactly that. Everything looks so vibrant, sharp and glossy.

He's using roughly the same line as I was, using alot of kerb! If you hit it right it puts you more or less in line to not need to turn left for the mini chicane and then the car is settled & straight under braking.
