    Hi Andy,
    Go for it, Airfield based track days are the best place to learn the limits of your car! (& reinstate some bruised confidence?)
    Its far better to spin the car on an open track area with decent run offs than it is to find/exceed the limit of adhesion on the public road (as you know only too well!)
    Cheers

    Thats why i am going there for my first propper drive of the car - nothing much to hit apart from race control & that is well out of the way!

    2 Strats on the confirmed list as of now, it would be good to see some more...

    Hi Mick, yep absolutely. That would be great. Thanks very much.
    Sort out the details later, not taking much, its just the wheels and jack that are always the pain

    Had the same immediate thought, Chris!
    What more appropriate service barge for a Stratos than a 355?
    Have a great day everybody.

    As well as plenty of sunshine don't forget to take a video camera, it'll be good to see your cars in action.
