What a great day, cheers to Purple B for organising, bit disapointing that only 2 ppl went from cs when the thread was 3 pages long, oh well. Car was well behaved even tho my mate chucked it into the infield at 60mph, damn lift off oversteer

piceees, MR2 about to get raped -




this XE on tbs had a standard cam, estimated about 190bhp. Car weighed 520kg



Really nice Impreza, but the driver was a right tosspot, I was all over him through the twisties but he wouldnt let me past until i had to let a caterham go thru, so i just followed



other stuff-

The 'EFINI' is the japanesse name for the FD3S series of RX-7's.

Efini is French word meaning in English INFINITY

cheers i will do this
this is the reason i built my car
i could not go to this one for the simple reason my car needs a balljoint and using a dogy balljoint on a track isnt clever.

i just couldnt finish my car in time

but next time oh yes im going getting my own helmet for ma b'day roll cage by end of year and sport exhaust manifold

as well as being a toss-pot I believe he could not drive his 4WD 2.0ltr turbo

it was a newer on i think. He was pulling away down the straights easily enough. I dont think he went to the breifing before we started where the marshalls clearly said 'if you see a car behind you that wasnt there 4 corners ago, get out of the way. Theres no point booting it down the straights only to hold up the little caterhams or whatever though the tighter corners.'

I should have said something to him really. I got out infront of him on the later sessions and left it for dead so ur probly right ditch. Also the driver was fat and ginger.
