I've upload the vid to you tube not sure how to link it here but I had a go ,just a couple of disclaimers ,firstly I didn't know that I was going to post this in here thought it was just ,let me try and see if I could record some of this'd on my iPhone .Its quite long vid and a bit noisey ,quality isn't great and the driving line is terrible . check out the off around 18 minutes in ,you can see Stacey hit the line then go right off the track ,pity you can't see the 360 as you hit the grass .
Enjoy and thanks again for a great day out

Stacey, the Z3 1.9 M44 is a well kept secret, handles better than the 6 cylinder cars (less forward weight) and has plenty of power if you work the engine/gearbox (which is in itself rewarding). Must get mine on track this year!:)

Not guilty, unless it was sun catching lights as I pirouetted down the track!

Not very friendly track manners. Most people yesterday had never been on a track before and had partners sat passenger. They could of done without someone behind flashing.
I think he only did it because I shouted hey there's @Bozzy we then waved
No harm done :thumbsup:

I went out in the Z4 and the track was drying a bit but trying too hard once and we did a 360 at copse onto the outside. Driver was catching and passing most on track at the time. Couple of laps later span at copse again ran out of brakes so we cruised back to the pits.

That's when you know the driver is trying and you have limited brakes into Copse.
Car control was brilliant we hardly stopped after the spin and we were off again.

The Z4 was a road car with stickers on but they are quick.

Thanks for the ride again.
