Decided to take the MX5 on track at Thruxton. It's the fastest circuit in the UK, but despite being on an active airfield, has a very low noise limit - 90db static. My Exige is 96.5bd static so way too loud. My wife also had a drive. Her first time on track.

Pics & a couple of short video clips if you're interested.

The little car was heroic. Loads of body roll but great grip from the Bridgestone Road tyres, brakes stayed strong all day (helped by me always being hard & late on them) it was a joy to drive and we claimed several higher powered scalps.

The circuit is sublime. Would love to be able to get on with the Lotus, but that doesn't look likely.
