Must be something about high revving NA engines then, but surely they sell Swift's and clio sports to the Republic anyway? And they don't have the choice of anything but 95.

Anyway, easy to bring a can of you want. No big deal. I did both with the S3, brought my own cans of fuel and used the local stuff, was just fine either way. And that too said 98 on the lid, and after the remap.
The Hondus I've always used the local stuff. It's about as high revving NA you'd get and it runs perfectly fine on absolutely everything.
They're all calibrated on all sorts of fuel, nobody sells a car for just one country. They all adapt. You just don't get the last two horses on lower octane fuel. And that's before we get to what "octane" actually is. For example, you'll get a couple more horses out of E10 than from E5, regardless of octane rating.
All assuming sensible tune obviously. At the extreme end things change but that's a different story.

Yes. Only the main gate will be open, and from there it's straight across the track and into the paddock. Couldn't be easier. There's a longer drive into the paddock at Kirkistown

Yeah I’m going.
I wish mine was on a trailer, usually something breaks on mine.
What time do you plan on getting there for? The email says the afternoon session starts at 2? But doesn’t say what time to be there for?

There's usually both sign-on and then a briefing, and you won't get on track if you miss either. Add time for lunch, prep, etc. There should be a schedule of timings. Be there in good time if you don't have the schedule. The 2pm time will be when the track goes live.

Fantastic day out with @Chris tii and @Coog at Mondello today. After battling horrendous weather on the way down it dried up for a cracker afternoon

That’s exactly it. Last 4 or 5 laps of the day everything was starting to come together. Before that it was like watching my mum drive a track day! Brutal!

Some of the corners have several lines as well. And in the wet the lines change again. Great circuit, been far too long, must get down again next year.
