Focus RS and Focus ST at Donnington

What a fantastic day for our Track Day Club's last outing of the year on Sunday 13th. With a good crowd taking part, we met up at the Donnington Park Farmhouse Hotel on Saturday evening for great food, wine and banter and arrived at the famous circuit at 7.30 next morning. With the booking prcess taking just minutes, the cars were polished, tyre pressured and fueled for the day and we were given our driver briefing my Tim Harvey the current Porsche Cup driver and ex Touring car, Le Mans driver which was a really nice touch . A few of the guys tried to book a half hour session with him but he was reserved all day. Maybe next time ! As the fog lifted and the sounds of car engines fired up, our Focus ST and Focus RS customers began the day with excitement and trust in their machines. As the Donnington Park GP track dried out the drivers gained confidence and grip as those fabulous Craner Curves beckoned.

With huge smiles on everyone's faces ,the fun subsided for the pitlane 2 minute silence for Remembrance which was carried out with respect throughout the Pit and then back out again. With everyone taking their cars to the personal limit and enjoying some great lap times, we carried on to the chequered flag at 4 pm. With our trusty wheels we headed home back to Essex with no traffic delays and a brilliant weekend was had by all.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the drivers and customers that have attended this years events to some great circuits. There are many of you who learnt about the abilities of themselves and their automotive companions. At Perkins we will continue to offer these great track day events next year and season starts in March 2012 and I will endeavour to find new challenges along the way so we can all enjoy the ride.

Many Thanks - Director.
