Sorry we didnt catch up with many people at 'Ring as we were so busy with track car ....it was pretty quick passing most things on track in GTR's, GT3's etc

Gutted we never got over to Spa either as one of our customers had a head gasket failure on his sti and we had to shadow him back to ferry at under 70mph..... :(
were all back in one peace and will be updating the Facebook page soon with the shots from the trip.

D_K, how did you get back to blighty..?

Thanks Timmy boy, gutted you could not make it, i dont want to rub it in, but it well and truly was amazing...

The first clip is Harry lap timer pro for the iphone (costs £16). And second is just a GoPro. It takes a while setting them all up before you get strapped in with a harness.

Yes all back safe, Ian was really lucky, no damage was done to his heart.

I will pass on your good wishes to Ian, good to catch up and say hello to you both too.

Maybe next year you will have a toy to bring too Dave.
