Re: Silverstone 'Arena GP' BMW Trackday - Sept 24th 2012

Thanks for your interesting and helpful reply Brian. I can see where you're coming from, "easy to get carried away", I would hope my love of my Zed would keep me focused and out of trouble. Mmmmm, maybe.

Great pictures Brian. I would be interested to know if there was much wear on your tyres, I'm very interested in having a track day at Brands Hatch, but am a bit hesitant as I don't fancy paying out for another set of tyres. :lol:
