On the 12th February, myself and my wife had a track-day at Oulton Park in Cheshire. I've been to watch racing at Oulton many times but this was the first time I'd been round the circuit.
A trip up and overnight stay behind us, we arrive at a damp circuit and I was hoping to get some good, dry running in the car in it's newly installed Roadsport-B specification.
It became clear early on that the day wasn't going to be smooth... The morning saw me get just a handful of laps out of the car. Several Red flags because of people spinning in the damp conditions restricted the amount of time I could have on the circuit. In fact, at one point I made my way back on the circuit after one Red flag and had two cars spin in front of me on the out-lap...
After lunch, I had some tuition and the conditions improved. Oulton is an excellent circuit and I'm really looking forward to racing there later in the year. I got many laps in and loved the new settings on the car. It felt so much quicker with more stability because of the new tyres.
Claire was brilliant (as normal) and made the day run seamlessly.
I have some videos of my day but as this is a Motorsport Vision circuit, and their draconian rules regarding use of video footage, I can't share any of it with you...
