Yesterday I went to the Goodwood race circuit. I went as part of a trackday organised by CKL. I took the D-type and drove it myself. Since I have never driven any of my own cars on a circuit, or ever driven at Goodwood, I took advantage of the the on-hand driving instructors, all of whom drove these sorts of cars professionally. I had 5 sessions, each session was a few laps. I think my longest session was 9 laps, and I took a 3 lap session with the video camera. I also drove as a passenger on a full CKL race prepared XK. Rather interesting, as I only had a lap belt, and only touched the seat with one one bum cheek, as the roll cage cuts across the passenger seat. All rather fun though.
So, my first proper track day... Very much a success. Great weather too. Some more pictures
