I have been away and hadn't seen this thread until tonight, but thanks lads, i had a great day, and winning Driver of the Day was the icing on the cake.
So its all down to the wet tyres then, and there was me thinking i was a superstar
Seriously though the wets do make a big difference and when it dried-up around 2:30 i changed back to my road wheels and went back-out, but after seeing the Masser in the barrier at 3:30 i decided that i'd had a good day and to leave it at that.
Looking forward to seeing you all again, i'm booked for Oulton on Tues 2nd November and i have paid for a garage which you are welcome to share.
