john_o - Your enthusiasm and pleasure from the day really shines through your post!

Doubtless you'll be there on track at Oulton Park one day when I manage to get there.  :drinking:

Hey!! Oulton sounds very exciting! :jumpmove: That's an extremely useful insight, Mike aka tony_d.

I'm afraid that airfield tracks such as Bedford don't excite me one little bit! Ask TC, he'll confirm that I won't know which way to go! I'd love to do the full GP Silverstone though.

Oulton Park, Nordschleife + Spa (combined trips) are on my list for 2010.

RR you need to add brands hatch to your track list, its awesome.  I did silverstone about 4 years ago in a xr2i and i dont think it was as good as brands.

....Yes, the full circuit of Brands looks very good and it's a great environment. I've been there spectating many, many times over the years but that first Paddock Hill Bend after the start looks really scary - More so than the famous Eau Rouge at Spa. It's very fast, downhill and blind - I'd want tuition!

I did exactly that on my first lap. I was on an XR and RS owners club track day, and ended up getting tuition for free somehow, and won a snap on tool set for most improved first timer

thanks for all the positive comments guys  :happy2:
car performed brilliantly, despite me doing all most continuous laps all day .......
I took instruction £25 after my sighting laps as  feel it was required.
Oulton was wet (but dried later on) and its much higher speed than I expected (I recall around 115mph on the speedo before braking for the chicane  :surprised:)
ESP was left on all day (prudent), and auto corrected the car on 2 occasions when the back end stepped out
(very slick this VW software)
my recently upgraded front brakes (crossdrilled S3 OE kit from DaveB) performed faultlessly  :happy2:
Im only just back from a day trip to Northampton way, but needless to say Im still buzzing from the day.

I can thoroughly recommend Oulton park and trackdays.co.uk for a amazing day out. my entire body aches today from the sheer amount of physical excertion reqd yesterday  :surprised:

full review in progress.  :wink:
