Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

Whilst driving around at allowed max with an instructor, I was overtaken by a saloon car doing twice my (max) speed. It got up to the top of Clearways where it spun quite violently. Seemed that Mansell would take an elderly backer on a lap and deliberately do a couple of doughnuts.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Had a really epic day. As usual lots of videos to follow on YouTube and starting to work on the 1st one now.
Was surprised at just how grandiose the track, pitts and grand stands are, the track is totally epic forget your Cadwells if your looking for up hill and down dale this place really has it going on. Was super impressed and will be going back again.

I also have to say big shout out to the Mercure hotel which is on the entry road. Not only a really nice hotel with great food but also very Brands orientated with lots of F1 blast from the past stuff. but also a great spa if your looking for a swim before heading out on track.

Why people chose Silverstone over this place will never know.

Who knew that following Nick towing his trailer at 60mph was going to help so much on fuel economy. Was very happy with this also :shock: :)):
