When i was last there in May, a British Jag Dropped hi oil, he carried on regardless and the engine seized a few hundred yards down the road. 5 bikes thwen came round after him, all went down on the oil and crashed. A few seconds latter a Porsche GT2 ( 993) came round the corner at nearly 120mph and went straight throught he bikers, one dead and two others stretchered off to hospital. All becuase the guy did'nt stop and mark up the spill.

Whoah... that's hardcore. Will DEFINITELY take a high vis jacket and keep an eye out for leaks...

Thanks for the advice as always. One other point - I'm going out there with my gf and I'm not expecting her to come round the track with me (don't think it's her bag). Is it worth then trying to get random passengers onboard for rides? How difficult is it keeping an eye out front and on the mirrors if you're by yourself?
