Me driving astraboys cossie at Bruntingthorpe last year for the redline records 2 day.



That was in third gear too I know cossies get flamed on here but you can't say that the rear wheel drive ones aren't fun to drive

P.S. I'll give you two guesses which wheel bearing has to be replaced before we get to the 'Ring Ah well!!!!

Sweet car They sound the nuts on full chat What did you think of the surface? We found it stupidly abrasive and it ate the back tyres of the cossie

Yeah, the circuit is too abrasive really. Especially where the asphalt has worn down to the concrete.. The ridges between the two, around the top sweeping 180deg, is a killer on the tyres.

I can go from a new set, to a dead set in half a day.. Although if you have assimetrico tyres you can swap them from side to side, making them last longer.

It's not my fave airfield really (unless it's wet).. It's a shame they've closed Bentwaters
