It was once suggested to me that taking a BEC to a GP circuit (even an old school one) was like taking a knife to a gun fight... but that doesn't
always turn out the way you might expect...

I was lucky enough to get invited to an event at Zolder last week. Great track, good food, nice beer and like minded company; Whats not to enjoy.
Format was 2 days on track in exchange for giving passenger rides. Was supposed to be 2 laps each but was pushed to 3-4 depending on how much they
screamed. I covered over 250 miles on track.
The brakes were getting a bit warm by this point in the day, so there was a bit of "lift-n-coast" going on into some of the corners, plus
short shifting for the noise meters (I'd been told off once and it was 2 strikes and you're out). Watch out for Rdodger appearing from the
pit lane in his ThruxtonGT. I think the Fury wasn't to shabby ...

Jammy bugger! Was it all passenger rides, or did you get some time to your self?
Looks there's me!
Glad you enjoyed it Adi.
