TRACK DAY #2 – Cadwell Park

Sunday 13th Feb
Weather – Dry in the morning, raining in the afternoon.
Cadwell Park – Focused Events

What a day at Cadwell and what a circuit. I love it. We were very lucky to have dry running in the morning with a very wet track in the afternoon (Was able to use my rainx). It was nice that it was dry in the morning as this gave me time to learn the circuit and get more confidence in the car. I took out my first passengers around the circuit. Mark Julian trusted me first and then my mother. I told her she was not allowed to scream. She was very good and really enjoyed it. I think she wants her own race suit now. Focused Events delivered yet another great track day and I would recommend them. We did however have 4 red flags but nothing they could do with cars being unreliable and/or spinning off. Tigger was runny well, it is backfiring a bit regularly but maybe this is what caterhams do? Next time out is Rockingham on the 12th March. However I need to change my A-frame bushes before then. What a delight. Do they really need changing after every time out on the track?!! Well at least I will get faster at changing them. Thank you to Mark for towing Tigger to Cadwell. Tigger loved it and I loved it. Mum also loved it. Thank you also for the pictures below.
