Seemed like more than that the white skyline with gold wheels was sweet and that escort cossie spitting massive flames was excellent. What were you up there in?

I like grippy [] The technology will not let that car go,it just grips and goes.You can spend your time playing with braking points cornering lines etc etc,and was a lot of fun.Not for those who like playing with the tail admittedly,but a great car to start a track day career in.

The Z3 was all over the place! When he strung a few corners together he was mighty quick,but that was rare,I went past him on the first corner as he fishtailed about 6 times.Very,very scary car.Credit to the guy who took it out in that weather.

And you lot seemed to be having fun! All we could see were clouds of smoke and hear the noise of tyres being shredded.I hope Revs got some good pics []

Well they are only "part worn" the inside part is worn and the outside still has tread (just) Did the surface damage your tyres much? I couldn't believe how much astraboy wrote

3mm rears,5mm offside front and the whole f'ing lot,6mm,front nearside.I think I lent on it a bit the surface was a bit ropey to say the least and there weren't enough left handers,prolly because they couldn't open up the other side cus some hooligans had come to play ;D
