Hi Martin, yep i'm going in my classic impreza and my brother it taking is 550BHP Ultima GTR. I have been to the last couple (as a passenger in my brothers car) but this will be my first time taking my car as I've only had it a few months.

Bit nervous about driving my impreza there, but have driven the Ultima there for a good few laps, however on my last lap I was a bit too heavy with the right foot and boy does that thing snap around quickly - complete 360, followed by me stalling and and having to get pushed onto the grass as it wouldn't start again for a few minutes.

Which day you are going - i'm there Sunday.

Cheers,
James

Martin, you ought to be aware stone chips can be a problem at Marham. Much of the circuit is covered in what is best described as shell grip, of which quite a lot can get kicked up. Last time was not bad because they had swept the circuit, but the time before was pretty bad. Many people use a combination of gaffa tape or protective film on the bumper/bonnet. The worst can be avoided if you don't get too close to other cars and since the circuit is pretty long cars get spread out quickly.

Have fun!
