Agreed with all of that. The Works Drivers and Technicians were fantastic!!!The pit wall remained intact but some nerves were shredded, including the odd tyre.
Fun and informative day, thanks to Mclaren London again.
Kevin played a flanker Bruce,he spent all evening scaring the s--t out of me about that bloody pit wall.Didnt notice it after the first lapSounds brilliant Kevin and so pleased it passed without incident. How slow was Andy - please be honest . Driver of the day was........................![]()
With all the scare stories i had to wear my Lucky ShoesAndy did brilliant, I think he used the most petrol at three tank-fulls and missed the pit wall as his insurance did not cover pit wall damage.
Additionally I would give him driver of the day as most people were posing in fancy branded drivers shoes but he had snakeskin winkle pickers on, about 12 inches long, without hindrance to lap times.
Nah Bruce,i only have one pair of Lucky Shoes.If i wear them when im with my wife i get LuckyAndy you are such a poser - have you a pair of blue suede shoes too
Got the bosses luggage in for the trip 64 pairs of shoes etc - i have been given space for one small tesco bag. One of my mates emailed and said bring your tennis racket after length discussion he is bringing 2.
I am so jealous of you all, this seems to have been so much fun and beats a trip to Oxford to watch the grand prix and Goodwood last week where we were watching the cars rather than using them !!Congratulations to The Mclaren London team on organising the first MP12 Track Day at a dry Castle Coombe......Sinan, Alistair, Ben assisted by the Works Drivers, technicians and MPC staff.
High standards set by all and the car..........you have to take your car on track to truly appreciate it's immense capabilities.

No offence taken Andy. Good to meet some faces off here at last.Kevin played a flanker Bruce,he spent all evening scaring the s--t out of me about that bloody pit wall.Didnt notice it after the first lap
Driver of the day was without doubt Albert,i even caught the Mclaren development drivers talking about him ,and how on it he was,Great job Albert,and nice to meet you,but you really shouldnt talk about Bruce like that
A quick note to Alistair,you made the mistake of making it too good,so now you will have to spend more of your time organising other events,A perfect day.
Oh and im late back because its torrential rain in the North!! You guys really have it too good.
Sorry Chris,didnt mean to miss you out,but its a long drive back in the rain!!
So what your now saying is Lucky shoes dont get first refusal,make up your mind RICContacted Alistair about the C/Coobe numbers and invites.
He said they restricted cars to 16 to ensure they met the noise requirement. However as the noise was within limits a few more cars will be allowed next year.
Alistair plans 2 events next year and he assured me there are no favoured invites and there is a difficulty with 100 plus cars sold to include everybody........seems to me this is a 'no win' regarding pleasing all the people all the time!
He assured me there are no favourites or specific customer bias.
In my experience Mclaren London try hard to be fair and even handed but it is impossible with these numbers and ratios.
