Oulton park 6-11-2010

Popped along to oulton park for a open pit track day with people from weekendracer.co.uk. Managed to get about 10 cars together which was a good turn out. Was wet but a good laugh was still had by all :thumbup:


Was my first time at Oulton but was very impressed. Brilliant curcuit with alot of variation and elevation. Reminded my of the nurburgring a bit

My first outing using semi slick yoko a048s and I was very impressed with them even in the unfriendly conditions

Mixed selection of pics from me and Doug and steve who can actually take proper pics


Cars from our group



























My little chav wagon :ymca: managed to go and suprise a good few "bigger" cars though car that weighs sweet fa on semi slicks, diff and 150bhp ftw









Rest of the pics doug took





















































Few vids unfortunatly all in the wet

Good pics mate looks like you had a good day

awesome pics Gav, Oulton best track i've ever done EVER!! really want to go back next year.

Oulton is on the BAT hit list Woz

Gav - Are you on 1.9's now??

I was looking at the Yoko's now the prices of R888's has gone through the roof, good to here some good reviews, that said i' sure i read somewhere that due to the compound they use, they don't like being left out in the cold?

Oultons great! Nice piccys gav

Nice pics, looks like a good day!

Great pics, I like the Porsche

Liking the look of the saxo btw, I was looking at these thinking I had seen them before then realised you'd put them in the track section on saxp.

Really want to do Oulton.

one question is that VX220 in petrol blue? never seen one in that colour before and it looks like my dads very first zafira

Aye pickded up a set of speedline 1.9's on egay for £60 and then a set of yoko a048s off of pistonheads used once for £250

Unfortunatly the tyre companies know they are onto a good thing now with the semi slicks and they have all gone through the roof hence why I searched for a second hand set. They go in the boot to and from the track so once they are not legal anymore I will keep using them

Cant compare them to 888's etc as they are the first semi slicks I have ever had but they are fudging good haha and from what I have heard just have the edge over the toyos and last longer.

Yer adams is petrol blue

Never seen one in that colour other then his. Wasnt sure at first but I think it looks epic now

oddly it does suit it quite well imo

Yer I know what you mean you automaticly assume that cars like that should be black,red silver etc. But it works well.

Cars not shy either you see him come up behind me in the vts in his vid. Im going flat out on the straight to the chicaine and he is just cruising. 290bhp and 850kg ftw

yeah they are very nice to drive, feel so planted round the bends it's unreal!
