Phil/Andy
I don't know if you followed this through, but this has been posted on PistonHeads
copy of email I just sent to the group:

Hi Gang,
Well, just over a week to go until we can V Max our respective exotica!

Circuit map and location doc attached..anyone who didnt get it PLEASE EMAIL ME

we can use the 'hospitality unit' off the perimeter track - upstairs viewing area / tables loos etc. Can run an organised queue from there. Will organise coffee, caterer can come in there as well.

All attendees please give your cars a once over this weekend, particularly those tyres - recommend a careful look for nails, cuts, dig out stones, check sidewalls carefully. Also check tyre pressures please.

I'd also advise checking all levels, oil, brakes & coolant(for the non aircooled people)

PLease remember that this is a private booking and the usual rules apply. You are responsible for your own safety & I accept no responsibility for any damage, injuries or loss.

Helemets are optional and all cars must be road legal.

We are aiming to kick off around 10.30 and carry on until about 4.30 or until we run out of petrol!

My sources tell me the local constabulary will be out in force so please take care getting to and from the airfield, believe me you'll have plenty of opportunity to push yourselves and your cars once we arrive!

Any questions???.....

ps:

B’thorpe location

Just to clarify for everybody -

Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground is located in the map square defined by

M1 J20/J21
A426
A5199 (old A50)
A4304 (old A427)

There are truck route signs to B'thorpe (Trading Estate) from the last two.
Foolproof way to get there is from the A5199 (nice road), take the truck
route turn off there, stay on this road (past the pub which looks like
favourite for lunch). Proving Ground is on a 90 right before the village
itself. Report to the gate.

Top day everyone [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] could have been more organised though [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Phil - that Revo beta remap is really something else. Top notch stage 1 tuning [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Andy - your car is silly, ridiculous, outrageous, a monster, but above all bloody good fun [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img] - as shown by the faces of the Porsche/TVR/Ferrari owners you gave rides to.
btw. It was a nice sedate drive to get some fuel [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Lots of nice cars in attendance as shown on a 10Mb video - sorry about the wind noise (not mine [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

Good to see all of you again, agree on the organisation though [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Supposedly my top time of the day was 182, although I'm not sure this is right as I'm positive my speedo didn't go over 180 all day [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Spin was cool, showing off to one of the Porsche guys, gave him a full 720 at about 90mph [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img] - not intentional though [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Getting some really bad clutch slip now 1st 2nd and 3rd, so an MTM will replace this Mickey Mouse Werks of Art piece of [censored] very soon [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Impressed with the Revo Phil - very cool for stage 1 [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img], and excellant driving Steve [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Do you think the 19s throw the speedo right out

Better watch the feds, if you think you are doing 70 you may be doing more [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Can't beat a bit of boost!

Excellent day, great to see everyone again. Well impressed with the Revo remap, still a couple of glitches, but should get ironed out soon. Lots of data to investigate [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img] .
