My Brother-in-law and a couple of good friends went to RAF Colerne today as they were hosting a trackday. We were having a look to see what was going on, what sort of cars were there and how it was run as we have plans to take our cars on track in the near future.
The event was organised by by Motorsport Events and they hold track sessions around the country. They seemed to have setup the event well, and everybody had their own section of track as they would only allow out a certain number of cars at a time. Most of the cars were either Honda Integra Type-R, Caterham or Lotus, however there was also a Porsche 911 GT3, Opel Manta, MR2 Turbo and many more.
If we can all get our cars ready for track use in time for the next event I think we will all be on track next time! In the mean time why not have a look at my event photographs in the trackday gallery.

Xtreme Automobiles have been developing a new 2 seat coupe concept car which delivers 350-500bhp from a turbo charged 2 litre engine normally found in the Mitsubishi Evo 9, and the same 4 wheel drive running gear. The car is made from Carbon Fibre with an aluminium sub frame and suspension, which means that the road car only weighs 1180Kg; 1000Kg for the track day car. Today we popped up to Dudley to the Xtreme showroom to have a look… There are more Pictures of the X1 Concept in the Gallery.

My camera (Canon EOS 350d) is in need of a sensor clean due to dust and moisture build-up, so as the weather forecast is poor for the foreseeable future I have take it to a specialist for cleaning. The protective screen over the sensor on digital SLR cameras is very delicate and is very easily scratched by cleaning, or anything contacting the surface. Any scratch on the surface will be visible on every photograph and the only way to remove it is to replace it (which is expensive).
And in typical form now I do not have a camera, it’s a perfectly clear night, with the moon well out of view!
