I suspect you will pass out now. The day is not physically hard, but mentally exhausting.
How did the car hold up? Did you check it over and how are the tires?

Yeah, im slowly falling asleep!
Car was ace! Contrary to popular belief, my Nangkang tyres were immense, gripping strongly to maggots corner at 80mph! Could only make 105 on hangar straight as the wind was battering the car from all directions.
The rain made the car a bit skittish on the last session though......
Overtook an S2000  a bit quickly and hit the rumble strip a bit too hard, spinning the car a full 360 degrees at 70mph! Wont forget that in a hurry!

Spin at 70... Definitely sounds like the most memorable part of the day.

Mallory Park or Donington next. I thought the 120 would lack pace on a track, but it was well up to the challenge, just lacked a bit of top end power down hangar straight, the only place the 180's beat me
