Hmm ... remove all the enjoyment of driving on the way?

They could practice overtaking each other.... purely for educational purposes in connection with that other recent topic.

Best wishes all,

I like your thinking as long as although jay has 120bhp on me but a 4 wheel drive system plus his car is limited to about 100mph or was.

We have plenty of energy for driving we where late comeing back from our group last sunday.

Been playing on proving grounds again?

If you think it's all about power, you haven't been reading Stressed Dave's posts, have you....

Yeah - it's all about Dave...

Yep, the TripleS way

The HPC road driving code precludes driving in convoy. I think there are different reasons for this. One issue is the way a convoy looks to other road users. Another is that from the points of view of enjoying the drive and developing your driving it is better to drive your own drive than to follow another driver.

By the way in case there is any confusion you cannot sign up by posting here. The organizer of the day is not a member of this forum.

It should be a great day for anyone entbusiastc about their driving.

Didnt get it that fast though, having too much fun bouncing off the limiter in 2nd between tight corners

Did demonstrate a few overtakes though.

Limiter is being removed next week anyway and it will read in mph.

Hmm, what could one do with a 180mph speedo??

Just signed up! Hoping I get on as, from all accounts, it sounds like a great day.

I went a few years ago and as a direct result joined the IAM, then Rospa, and recently completed the Master Driver's Course with Cadence.
You can take it from me that it's a worthwhile event.

Oh no it ain't; not if you're talking about impressive rates of progress on or off road.

All I claim are: reasonably swift progress when I feel like it, a fairly high level of smoothness, and a respectable level of safety.

....but there won't be much evidence of The System being applied consistently.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

I've stuck my name down.
went to the first one not managed to go since, and turn 26 few days before so may be my last...

It's only driving! Or is it the thought of meeting Mr Turner?

He will be the epitome of sartorial elegence, I'm sure
If we finish the re-build on the Caterham in time, Hirsute Hugh and I will be there with that and the M3

he was yesterday, when he told me I drove in a 'namby pamby' fashion

Going to try and make this - sounds like a good line-up

Excellent - will Nigel be attending as I've heard a lot about him and wanted to put a face to the name?
