Hi chaps

Did another trackday today at Castle Combe. Had a great day

Thankfully the weather was spot on. Spoke to some of the people I saw last time - mainly from MX5 owners group. Managed to get in 5-6 sessions (15 mins each). Lots of tyre squealing and some light drifting

One of the MX5 owners who takes part in every trackday at CC, had a passenger ride and showed me the best lines, gearing etc which really helped.

There was the usual range of cars on track, including a Noble, 911 GT and SLK V8 D:

Photos below from photographer and took some myself. Will post video tomorrow once edited.

There was silver with blue stripe Puma there to. It was all stripped out, FRP cams etc. Very nice.

Didn't get the guys name but had quick chat

glad you had a great day there this time

and the weather was dry too

Did your brakes stand up to it or did they fade towards the end of each session?
Perhaps the Gamp round to Quarry gave them a chance each lap to cool off

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

I have Ferodo pads (thanks to Richard @ Tremona for suggestion and fitted them!), so braking was all good

Hi,
I was driving the other Puma, I have been a member of Pumapeople for ages, but very rarely post, I do look in on the forum from time to time to see whats going on.
It was good to see another Puma at Combe, sorry we did not get more time to chat, see you next time.

Tim.
