The time on the board at the end is the time elapsed between the lights going green and the car moving.

.116 is VERY quick.

From the PVS website - "Vauxhall-only action on the strip from 2pm Saturday. Great prizes up for grabs!"

Seems they've clamped down

jay, i think the reason it happen was because he had some that was group n and some that wasnt so it caused the standard one to get dammaged and broke.

oh by the way, you shouldnt worry about santa pod. I went to silverstone in my 106( my daily driver for uni aswell) and that was a track day. I was poo'ing it when i came off a corner and cars was flying past but it was ok and i carried on. Atleast you cant really damaged your car apart from the engine really but its a 12v so its a stronger engine also chain driven.

But anyway, you won't break it, the amount of people who have been there and done run after run after run, then driven home, far outweighs the breakages


The AA came out ains xe from PVS last year, and followed him all the way home just incase

They seem to have also made an error in saying 'Saturday'

And Greg, I think they mean Vauxhall only road cars.
