I did not Robin though purely my choice.  My wife suffers from a chronic illness so the boy & I don't have much male time & I wanted to give my full attention to him for that day - though I did see you & your four piper  :wink:. He had a ball on the kids lap as we 'chased' the audi sport in our diesel bmw on the corners - mr audi got a wagging finger from the marshalls but what a show to be following it for the 4 laps.

Regards, Kevin.


Welcome Kevin. If I'd known 'other non-vag' cars were allowed on the track I would've taken Nicole out for a bit of tarmac fun!

Usually CC are very strict about non-VAG cars on track and even being on display in the paddock! But it wasn't a very well attended day, so........





We all had a good time though. :happy2:

Non VAG cars were only allowed in the "Family" session behind the saftey car during the lunch break.

Apart from a couple of Porsche's, there were no other non VAG cars on track all day i believe.

Robin I think as it wasn't busy & a kids lap they didn't enforce the issue though we did get a few funny looks. I was stuck between the flip quattro sport and a kermit green rocco so the blue bm had a low profile! Didn't stop the traction control kicking in at the chicane though - I blame the sport for chasing after the R8 whenever a gap had appeared. We shall just have to see if we come in ED30 next time.

Regards, Kevin.
