It's a track that I'm sure is a wonderful experience, but the next thing you know it'll be some sort of pub ammo p1ssing contest on how 'my chipped 335d took Eau Rouge flat out.'

I think the closest I had to that boll0cks was Craners (NOT Cascades which is of course Oulton Park!) at Donington. So much hype over a corner that I thought was 'meh' and that was in the wet. Now Schwantz corner was brill - tricky, off camber, required a lot of balance of the throttle. Enojyed that lots.
i agree but it is what it is. in a world where everyone does it you narrow your audience if you dont

all about clicks/views etc

And I will vouch for it being fun to watch. Even if the news from St James Park was no fun at all for me

Didnt end well.
I remember that.... was quite a lot of begging going on to get a lift home too IIRC.
He was banging on about it for a bit, and several told him not to try it.
Simon was there too I think, and Rowan
