today was the day i had been looking forward to for a long time and it was honestly an amazing day out

The track, two events took place, the nations cup and the race of champions, the nations cup where two drivers from a country would race two drivers from another country and the looser was knoccked out, the race of champions was the same thing with the looser getting knocked out.
Practice:

Mid engined RWD astras that were specially built for the event 

Focus WRC car that set the back bumper on fire with anti lagg 


Mattk + ed Fiat punto 320bhp 4 wheel drive


V8 Vantage's made the most amazing noise ever


Audi Quattro driven by the stig


Honda Fireblade 1100cc powered buggies

which a frenchie binned 

Le Mans Tdi

Loud DTM audi




Andy Priaulx in his WTCC BMW 3 series

Terry Grant popped along later


Micheal Schumacher stalled his punto off the line and went a lap down 

Christian Ppeiffer came on as well to do demonstrations as well


Then David Coulthard and Sebastien Vittel came out in the red bull racing and torro rosso f1 cars




Andy Priaulx then spun out in the semi final

In The final Michael Schumacher went up against Mattias Ekström who won last year

Ekstrom won in the red car in the third race beating Shumacher 2-1


Was a great day out and although it was bloody cold was well worth it.
