It is Crazy thought ain't it, we passed at least 2 people smashed up on track every lap, sometimes 3! It was closed lots while they fixed it, the amount of the cars smashed up that had English plates on the cars were unreal!
Guess you enjoyed it though matey??

I wouldn't trust my gearbox, plus the fuel mine would use would be crazy!

not a very usable track experience with those potential costs looming over you. Nice to see a few R owners man enough to put the pulsar out there though

Dont you lot start to put a downer on our trip it only a few weeks away!

Not putting a downer on it, quite the opposite! I'm just saying that I don't trust my gearbox!

I remember this one guy that went, he had a blue, nearly 600 horsepower GTR with black wheels, he went with a few mates. He'd never had any issues with his car or his driving ability until he got to the ring.............

Presuming your gearbox is alright at the mo with that proper third gear Pete? I know exactly what you mean about the fuel though, I think I called at nearly every petrol station there and back! Also kept refuelling at the station really close to the track, was worth it though, it's exactly like you said, petrol heads heaven!!

I've only picked the box back up today pal, still got to fit it and see how it goes! Even if I had no issues I genuinely don't think I'd want to drive it there personally, just because of the expense, and the noise from the side exit! Would get on my tits after a while! It would cost me over £500 just in fuel!!!

I drove my widearch big power pulsar there a few years back

after a night on the piss I could hardly walk come the next day let alone drive.
did 2 sessions all day (first I almost threw up lol)
second was quick but then melted every earth electrode on plugs, great bit of mapping by someone
managed to get car off circuit and pulled what was left of the plugs out then stuck a new set in turned boost down to .7 bar and car got me all the way home.
went to go to work next day started her up and a big puff of smoke and popped x 2 pistons together so it literally made it all the way home then just completely shat itself

how lucky was that

^^ now that's lucky! I must say on my first lap Saturday night id had a bitburger (or 5) before I went out, sharpened me up a little ! The little Honda s2gay held its own though! Roof down haha

All been well your box will be fine pal! There's one way to find out! Exactly like you said, fuels only money..... Stop been tight!!

Yep, I would class that as lucky, would have been expensive if it stopped on track!!
