The day really was that good.
Track manners were good and everyone appeared to have a fantastic days driving.
The bottom corner seemed to catch a few people out though....on one lap in the Clio we came around the corner to find 3 Subarus either facing the wrong way and off the track completely.

You had to admit it was pretty much Impreza weather - was strange to overtake so many in the 944 turbo....even stranger to overtake them in the Clio

Thanks Davyboy, it all becomes clear!
I've gotta say Iain it's one hell of a car, from coming from a UK classic. Once my brain registered that I need to straighten the wheel again things were looking up. I can't remember the turn number but from the pits you have the hairpin, then the little chicane, I had it drifting around the following left in 4th gear at about 70 degrees then flick it back and upto fifth to drift throught the following right at around 90mph - time and time again!
I just need a little more practice in placing the car into the drift so I miss the apex cones ;D
