Some pics taken at the TOCA touring cars test session today at Thruxton Race Circuit.

The Protons.
Mr Leslie and Mr Bennet were gentlemen and did a photo op for me, mechanics were taking the P*&S at Phil for posing
Nice guys, very aproachable and friendly, I couldn’t see this happening in F1.






Honda.






Vauxhall.









Mg





And a 2 wheeled Porsche

I even stood on the pit wall for a bit and no-one minded.
Top day out, and best of all it was FREE

Have met Phil Bennet many a time and he is a top bloke, very approachable as you say. He even posts on here occasionally.

Here are a few more.
This is what's known as a TOCA Sandwich, with a poor old 7 as the meat





Cheers,

Cool

Grahame

Fantastic, very much appreciated. I should have come down myself!

Maybe hard to believe now that I have MG ZT, but I was once the owner of a EVO VI & VII! Have looked at the new 2003 Scoobs and they do look good!

Maybe catch you at the Rally Super Car Day! Look out for some flat caps and about 10-12 MG's

EVO to MG!

Grahame I took my ZT round CC last year. That's Squizz's TR8 (he has a Scooby on writes on this board)! http://www.xpower-mg.com/Rally%20Super%20Car%20Day%202002.htm

Catch you there! As mentioned we should have about 12 cars there. 6 of which are already going on track!

Grahame,

Went round the WSR factory last night. The cars pictured are 2002 cars with the 2003 suspension/engine package.

The full 2003 cars won't be shown until testing is complete and the sponsors are announced!

The twin exhaust is the new config - gives 5 bhp more!

NB: No pictures were allowed!
