So im sitting at Grand Prix Racewear

in England like literally 20 feet from Silverstone raceway. Which is the home of British racing.

Every single day there is some sort of racing or practice going on.
So far ive seen......
Formula Cliot
Formula BMW
Porsche Cup
F1 practice

etc.etc.

Ive driven on one of the random track days about 4 days after I got here, in a fully prepared 91 Gti, RHD... completely gutted, caged stock motor but brakes about the size of those on a porsche with proper suspenstion components. Got there at the end of the day, had about 5 laps around the track before the brakes went out in the 2nd chicane spun the car and went into the litter. poo. (luckily for me, they forgot the bleed the brakes.

haha)

The daily is a diesel 1 series 5 door (120d which they dont have in the states), rhd... and left side of the road. Little hard to get used to, but its different and cool.

(the one im driving is blue)

Ive been to one of the professional karting events... at the PF International track.... freaking wicked.

Yea andretti speed lab is cool, and ive seen the occasional karts out at diff. events, but it was nothing like this.

Sorry bored. Figured it was pretty neat so id post. blah

Overseas travel is teh shit. Overseas travel with driving mixed in is even better. How's that rhd working out for you?

For sure! Nice sig btw. lol

Yeah yet alone to be at the heart of it all, and being able to talk with drivers and managers and all of that on a daily basis. Nice knowing people. Ill have more seat time within the next couple days. Happy about it all cause im missing seat time at home.

I like the RHD, fairly easy and all that, at home ill shift for friends if they get on the phone, and friends having skylines and shit helps. The left side of the road throws you off a bit though. Makes sense though cause your left side drive at home right side of the road, either way you are close to the dotted line in the drivers seat. As well as the round abouts everywhere.

**DJ Maestro** · 03-24-2009, 08:16 AM

That is awesome LA. I want seat time in Europe too. I hear it is the shit. Anyways, just out of sheer curiousity, are you over in England vacationing or doing something track related? Forgive my cluelessness.

I didnt move, its just a long visit.

**DJ Maestro** · 03-24-2009, 08:17 AM

Damn, you answered my question while i was typing it. lol!

**NVEOUS** · 03-24-2009, 08:18 AM

Yeah it is CERTAINLY the shit, scary racing with ferraris and porsches though on a track you have never ever driven. In a RHD car you have never driven that you dont know, that doesnt have power steering and you're 105lbs of fury. LOL Ive never even seen an over view of it. LOL Here, they throw you in with everything... as opposed to the gti being with miatas and stuff like that or even close to the car, you play with the big dogs. And unlike a lot of the iditos at home that do the PDX events, if you dont pay attention to your surroundings, they will pit you faster than you can think. Every man for himself.

Here's 40 to add excitement to your day.

Notice how the 40 is in red so you need to do the appropriate math. Later, QD.

Well for the most part... soon as I typed what I did earlier, we left and went to donington park... which is another race park about an hour from silverstone. Went and chatted with some saleen guys... got pix and video there too.

**Elbow** · 03-24-2009, 02:45 PM

Well no shit..PDX = like track touring parade laps.

Chin Motorsports = real track days.

**SampaGuy** · 03-24-2009, 03:05 PM

True... chin events at barber are where its at. Been about 2+ years since ive done one of those though. Was before the barber school got moved.

Long time.

As far as scary... eh, to me personally it was. Car and track I didnt know. But whatever. Sure ill get more shit for that. But ok.

So you are in London too? LOL You were sitting in the stands watching them practice with me? Thats SO COOL! Ever heard of the force 1 team? I belive they are french.

Local f1 teams practice at local tracks. I believe these guys are based right down the road. Will have to find out.

God for the life of me right now I wished I could upload these pictures and vids but unfortunately I cant until I get home.

Yeah... its a long but very interesting story.

God you people pay attention to others lifes too much. The drifter was like almost 2 years ago now. If you are going to pay attention to my life, atleast know whats going on SORTA?

Why do I need seat time? Dont have to have it... its FREE seat time while I am here.

**quickdodge®** · 03-25-2009, 05:32 AM

AWWWW, STILL BEGGING FOR ATTENTION??

Shut the fuck up, sir. If you're overseas having such a great fucking time, the fuck you doing on here besides craving attention. Later, QD.

**fawk_you** · 03-25-2009, 05:38 AM

Theres a great saying over here, 'Fuck off.'

How about leading by example? You know I'm right about you. The proof is in your posts. You pop in about every three/four months and just about every post you make has to include pictures of you so you can get all the "just hit puberty" dudes talking about you. You're about as hot as the surface of Pluto, sir. Later, QD.

**fawk_you** · 03-25-2009, 05:54 AM

not always.

And I heard Pluto is pretty cool.

Geez, I'm sorry....just know you been around the block and then some on IA. Thought you actually settled down. My mistake for thinking you were with someone for more than I dunno.....1 week.

C'mon, you gotta come harder than that. He turned that "pluto" thing around on you. I am not entertained, QD.
