Waking up at 6:30 full of excitement i drew back the curtains to find.....fog?!?! Oh well, has to be a first time for everything i guess.
Sadly it got worse and worse as we approached Knockhill and fog turned to drizzle to rain to fog to well, you get the picture. A soaking wet trackday which lost an hour of running due to the conditions.
At least it would be a good day to learn the lines and work on being smooth. Out we ventured....what the dickens.....why is everyone going so slow (admittedly in their 20K machines)?
It was happening again, we seemed to be faster in the wet! For some reason, we always seem to run really well in poor conditions and were braking later and harder than a lot of people out there (not through skill I'm sure, which only leaves...stupidity) but we weren't being silly, we were well within our and the cars limits.
As there were all three of us in attendance I took the opportunity to blag some passenger laps in others cars including a rare 993 GT2 and a bright orange Caterham SLR - thanks Mass :)
The pig ran without fault again and although wet and miserable the day was still brilliant brilliant fun. Fingers crossed the next time out will be in a little better conditions.
