Cheap weekend track day - Rockingham 5th Nov

[Fizzer]

Anyone fancy a track day at Rockingham on 5th November? (Bring a wooly hat)!

It's a Saturday, pretty cheap (£150) and will probably be my last track day this year. Would be nice to have some kit company

Fingers crossed it's dry, unlike my Brands trip recently.

I thought the 'cheapo' datalogging went well too

It was foggy and damp when we arrived and the track surface is very hard to judge what was wet and what was merely damp. Extremely slippy in the wet bits - Got a few tank slappers on the exit of the first chicane which I didn't really get the confidence back all day. Maybe next time

Overall I really liked the circuit, there are a few good corner combo's and the long banked curve is pretty exciting (another corner I didn't take any chances on)

Got overheating brakes (again) at the last hairpin so had to take it easy there, need some ventilation I think.

My day was cut short by me leaving my oil cap off after a top up, lost the cap somewhere on the track in a cloud of smoke. V embarrasing. Managed to limp home with the aid of a red bull can & gaffa tape. I did get to have a go in a friends race prepped mk2 golf though, really good fun.

HI Andy
great video and like the data log you have added to it, just a couple of moments but well held . Does look like a great track will have to keep an eye on it for next year.
