Unlikely to be able to attend and would prefer to sell the ticket for face value to someone who can make it.
Have posted this on another forum so if it goes in the meantime I will update this post.
If you're interested please pm me.
Thanks

Re: 17th Annual Oulton Park RS Day 2017
Oulton Park proved frusting for me this year with a gearbox seal failing after just a few laps followed by an early trailer ride home which meant I also missed the Welsh overnighter ....
....however easing the disappointment was a ride in Paul Howells glorious 993 RSR ....
....being taken out in a race car on slicks is an experience I'll long cherish, it makes my car seem like a toy, and to say that Paul can peddle a bit would be a massive understatement, the guy drives like a pro!
Paul's very generous with his time when it comes to passenger rides and extremely accommodating, a true enthusiast who appreciates how magic these moments are to people. A class act, cheers Paul
For those interested here's a taster of how impressive this car is with Paul driving (in a borrowed helmet). Absolutely awesome! .....

Sorry to hear about your gearbox woes Darren.
Cool video,it always amazes me how calm and smooth the top drivers make it look.

What a shame about the gearbox oil seal, I was behind you when it started smoking a bit and it smelt like a mix of tyre smoke and burnt engine oil - now I know that smell means burnt gearbox oil! Hope you got it sorted ok?Darren65 wrote:Oulton Park proved frusting for me this year with a gearbox seal failing after just a few laps followed by an early trailer ride home which meant I also missed the Welsh overnighter ....

The RSR was really nice, jealous of your passenger laps!
Really enjoyed this years RS day - looking forward to next year already.

Re: 17th Annual Oulton Park RS Day 2017
Thanks Jevvy, hopefully the car will be sorted this week.....gearbox had just come out to fix an oil leak and freshen up 3rd gear synchro, wished I'd left it until winter!
I could have had nearly as much fun if I'd stayed for the afternoon but at least I had a lift back. It is a fantastic day.
I'll come and say hello next time.
