Our friends at Easytrack were running a trackday at the UK's spiritual home of RSs on Tuesday 24 April , and Steve 'Teaboy' Brookes managed to lure a 964RS ( Kevin!) to come along with promises of tea and cake AND a pit garage for polishing practice [
]
The weather prior to the event may have deterred some people , but it turned out to be a dry day , the sun appeared , and the track was in fabulous condition.....it did claim its usual number of victims however.
I turned up in the orange 964 now fitted with a normal RS clutch and detuned by Mobil 10-60 Motorsport oil - dont ask !
Together Steve and I forced Kevin out onto track after hiding his comforter (polishing cloth )......and he responded by going like a scalded cat , all we could manage to hang on to him , in truth he was quicker than either of us. We did a few laps in formation - yellow white orange - for the benefit of trackside paparazzi .
There were a few other Porsches there including the Strasse race cars being shaken down , plus a 996 that will compete in the club championship this year - driver Mark McAleer ccoming from a 968.
Next outing Castle Combe 25 May ... there are still spaces left at a bargain £150 a go if you want to join the fun , great circuit for the 964/RS/Cup and scene of Gruppenfuhrer's sprint victory .....anyone ??
