Hi All,

I just want to say a huge thanks to all of you who came along this weekend, without you turning up it would have been rubbish. I had grand plans of all sorts for this weekend and many of those didn't materialise. I was a bit worried it would be a bit of an anti climax, especially with the weather. In the end I was dead chuffed with how it panned out and I had an awesome weekend, despite the weather.

While I like th idea of going to LeMans next year, it seems a foregone conclusion that we should do Llandow again in 2018. Hopefully next year we can have more stuff for non track people to do.

If you have any photos or videos of the weekend then please share. I'd love to see them.

I would totally be up for doing Llandow again next year. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a fun track, even for a complete novice like me!

I have some video which I'm editing at the moment, and some photos. I'll pop them up when they're done

I imagine it's probably 10x the price, but Brands Indy is one of my fave circuits.

Also, some of the TDOs manage to do cheap as chips winter trackdays at the Snetterton 300 circuit (£99?!!), so it could be an option for a winter Mighty5s trackday.

Such a great little track. Like Nurseholliday I also love Brands Indy but then again it's only just down the road so where's the adventure in that?

Rob looks like the Football Fwends chap out of The Inbetweeners LOL

That Del Sol looks like a bit of a handful, though!

What is the dash extension thing on the white 5, seen from 4m51s? That looks sweet.

Sadly no sound as I forgot to change the camera settings from the Trackday where I'd used the external mic which was not connected on the Sunday.

Did the marshals not make you wear a helmet for the mountain run?

Tehehehehe
