15/05/24 Cadwell with RMA trackdays.
As mentioned prior I was lucky enough to be invited to a private hire or the circuit and I’ve never been on a day so bizarre.
With a start the cars in attendance were serious money, 2 GT3RS, 2 GT3, Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren 765LT and Lotus Emira to name a few. There was no more that 20 cars booked on for the day!
The weather was miserable, was pissing it down till about 11 and anyone who been to
Cadwell in the wet knows how waterlogged it can get.
Car was unchanged since last time out and had the ar1 still on, with not wanting to get wet I proceeded with them during sighting laps and was surprised at how well they actually handled.
Quick toilet trip and was straight out and to my surprise the circuit was dead… literally I had it to myself the ar1 help up really well made sure to be careful around the standing water which was in 2 parts of the circuit but there was certainly a good amount of grip. Absolutely bricked it by gaining some speed down the park straight to find the brakes weren’t gripping and feared it was for the grass.
Sadly one of the grey gt3 aqua-planned at the end of the start finish straight and hit the barriers
Carried on clear lapping then I had a slight moment and caused a red flag just before lunch, whether by idiocy or error the bonnet flew up outside the start / finish straight so had to pull over before coppice. Luckily it didn’t blow back and smash the screen just bent the bonnet, managed to pop it back and get it to shut, its not easy to notice but can tell, need some plastic trims for the windscreen.
Bonnet bodge done and went out lapping after lunch afew more cars on circuit this time as it had dried out abit.
Decided to call it a day around 3 as no pit
Chief with me as it’s quite the chore packing up and loading by yourself.
