Yeah thanks for a wicked day. Was a birthday present for me and must be the best one I've ever had! (Thanks Dave)

The Clio earned its money today. Was really impressed at the grip it had even in the wet!! And the 944 did well for a rear wheel drive death trap

Great day!

Great day - especially on a wet/ damp track - actually got the P1 to oversteer - a little too much on a couple of occasions...

Hands up if you got overtaken by 130BHP french clutter .......... and no denying it coz i have 4 hours of video footage

what a cracking day by the way. Could have gone home at lunch thinking I had had my moneys worth !!!!!!

The diff between today and the ring is I spun 4 times today and if I did that at the ring it would have ended in tears for sure ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


I must say though I think the standard of driving was higher on the RS day last week, much quicker ........... dont flame me for saying that but i think its true ,

Iain ..............nice to meet you again by the way. Its always nice to meet someone who is enthusiastic about driving rather than horse power for a change. Shame you didn't bring a type 25 along to upset those 900 horse power jap crap machines.

I like the Mustang by the way, just needs to be a different colour.......

I agree with you Gary.
But the track was completely dry on the RS day.
I only ever saw the french tin can behind me bye the way.

I have got to sort out the understear though,it drove like a font wheel drive.Just dont understand it.

If you have got a picture of the Pug, I'm sure it was taken with a very looooooong exposure !!

Nice to meet you Gary.

Its only a shame the Tyre Testing was a bit of wash out

Couldn't understand why now one wanted to try the Avon Slicks

Still RobRoy gave the Pirreli's a bit of stick

Just got to get them carted upto Knock Hill for next weekends action

I stuck my R rated tyres on just before lunch - it was cetainly interesting until they got some temp in them......of course then it rained...and I could not be bothered to change them back.......so if was drifting practise for me, and I clearly need more of that
