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?
