Just got in? Surely if it's a day organised by Matt you should all be down the pub (still) regaling each other with impressive tales of derring do over some jäger?
Or at least arguing over who was fastest/most sideways?

No data I'm afraid, Matt didn't reply about the vbox so I assumed he already had something sorted.
We got to a wet Bedford and I went out for the first session, it was very slippy out there but massive fun in the BMW. The car is so easy to drive and recover from slides. Not massively powerful but keeping some pretty fast cars in check. After about 15 mins I came in and handed the car over to Nick for his go. 10 mins later he came in as someone had dropped oil around the entire track for two laps. Javelin and the track people basically said there is oil everywhere we cant clean it up, just don't drive on the oil.
We sent the ARDS guy out to check it out who said it wasn't that bad. 40 mins later I went out to see what I thought, it was more slippery than the first session but not unpredictable. Dave and Tony decided they didn't want to risk getting pranged but some other nugget. Nick and I were a bit more brave/stupid 
and decided to continue driving. There were no incidents and we both really enjoyed being out there. The conditions were perfect for front engined rwd and much sideways fun was had. Andriano the ARDS guy was great and really pushed us.
All in all a great day even with oil spillages, would definitely do another one, next time at Croft though 
Thanks very much Matt, thoroughly enjoyed it and it was also great to meet up with some vxers again.

Was good to meet you all, now uploading a couple of videos.. didn't get much footage as it was extremely slippery and didn't see much point!
