dome Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 We're not in Kansas Knockhill any more. Queue for our second session was interesting. Wee car went well. Stu is a very good driver, I felt totally safe beside him despite him never having been here before. Assen is a great track too. Track days here do seem like a bit of a free for all which takes some getting used to. Just send it is the moral of this trip...

dome Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 Slight issue with the Megane, shame as it's going well. It's cool, we've got all week so can get it fixed for the next one. Tickman and Dave_Q 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 We were shown pictures of a very young Max Verstappen in this green Clio. I guess it was his dads. It's used daily though which is cool.

dome Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 Zandvoort done! Track is amazing, definitely a bit better than Knockhill 🤣 Had my first run in the Megane today. Running a fairly mild 300bhp(for now) but the chassis setup is absolutely spot on. James also knows how to drive. I'm very impressed with both him and Stu. They both did very well for their first time here and the locals seem impressed at the crazy Scottish people 🤣 Dyslexic Viking, CreepingJesus, mercedade and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 Spa, completed. I'm running out of words to describe how amazing this trip is. I've been through Eau Rouge flat in the Mighty Megane 😳 The circuit is fucking awesome. We're at a village a few km from the 'ring. Big boy pants required for tomorrow, and I'm just passengering 🫣 CreepingJesus, Tickman, sdkrc and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 of the guys I'm with on this trip are fucking good drivers. The wee Clio is a cracking car but its a road car at the end of the day. The Megane has race buckets, full cage, 3" belts, foot rest and a roof vent so I can brace myself and get some fresh air while we're hurtling round. It's actually a more pleasant place to be, even though my insides are being rearranged! But me driving? I get lost going round Knockhill, I'd be screwed here😳 mercedade, Tickman, hairnet and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Nurburgring: done. Traffic was bad Megane doing it's thing from the Clio. I'm kinda lost for words as to how epic it was. The fact we were drinking til 4am this morning doesn't help. Did 1 lap in the Clio and 1 in the Megane. I was definitely a bit nervous but both Stu and James know the way round it. The Megane did it in around 8m20s in traffic and with a yellow flag slow zone. Not bad for being built in a shed in Fife😎 Sadly we couldn't get on the GP circuit as it was rammed, also the museum is shut while we're here. Guess I'll just have to come back🤔 sdkrc, Tickman, Dyslexic Viking and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingJesus Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Well jealous! Dream trip for me, that I will get around to some day. The only things I'd add are possibly La Sarthe and a pit stop at Rheims-Gueux. In fact, as Circuits Of The Past was one of the first YT channels I subscribed to, there's so many places I'd love to see, and better still, drive. dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
