It's OK, but a bit bumpy in places,, seems to have got worse the past couple of years. Definitely £40 worth though.

Hi Andy, I have the orange Haynes (the red MNR belongs to jim87 on here), it was a good night and very busy for a change.
I was running wastegate boost as I had rebuilt my engine and it had done about 300 miles, its going in for a re-map next week and should give around 270-275bhp with lots of torque.
Look forward to seeing more kit cars there in the future, its a great track for lightweight cars.

Here's a video clip of me having a bit of fun with a 400bhp BMW 135i

Good to meet the two of you.
I've done a good number of days at Teesside in the past but I've never seen queuing like the other night before. I guess it's because it was fully subscribed and there was a limited amount of time on track. My car's not equipped for queuing.. I don't run a cooling fan, so it involves lots of stop starting of the engine, and the battery's not huge!

I think they said that was the last of the evening sessions due to the dark nights, and they'd be moving to full day events? Shout up on here if you and jim intend to do any more.

Exactly, for £40 its good.

Croft my next closest is £200 even on cheaper days

I'm also keeping an eye on a Croft day with Javelin, Oct 3rd. This time of year I like to get an idea of what the weather's going to do before booking. There are less than 20 places left at the moment, so it'll probably fill before I decide..

The new surface is really good in wet and dry, so give it a go.
Just book a garage as well!

I'm seriously considering Croft on the 30th Oct. (Javelin)
