    Awesome pics everyone...I'm a track virgin, so hoping to do a School day sometime next year....have been told Ron Haslam Race school is very good for a newbie, anyone else think the same?

    Its a bit far for me as im all the way up here, anyone know of good schools in Scotland?

    Trackday at Jerez.

    Was at Jerez in October. 1 of the pics was of 2 blades, at the top of the start / finish straight. Excellent track.

    Andy, where are you based at the moment? Be great to see you at Oulton next year, there's quite a trackday crew developed up here in the North.
