Have a good one. Got washed-out at Gurston last weekend: from first in class in dry practice on the Saturday to last in class by a mile on the soggy Sunday.

A 185bhp Scimitar can be quicker than a 285bhp Impreza in the dry, but it's not the same story in the wet...

The event was binned after the first timed runs on the Sunday after a couple fo the National Championship contenders surfed off the road in Hollow.

New Kumhos have sharpened-up the turn-in, though: all I need is a dry day to learn to really lean on them.

This one was there on Saturday (2nd June).

the driver of the coupe above came along as a spectator on the sunday and introduced himself, nice guy, but wasnt competing sunday. There was a blue coupe on sunday, two GTEs (1 x blue, 1 x Tango orange) an SST and an SS1. Good fun (and bit of sunburn...) was had by all :-)

Did you use different size crayons for the numbers? Talk about letting the side down...

[CNHSS1]

ha ha, id not even noticed! as it was my first event of the year i was totally disorganised, race bag was full of all last years commentary sheets, entry stuff, crisp packets etc etc and a big bag or numbers so i never checked. My good lady (have to say that she may check this forum...) offered to put the numbers on sunday morning and found i had loads of some but no 2s. Harewood came to the rescue as they sold numbers on the day, albeit diddy ones by the looks.

No problem, i have high resoloution ones, but made them small with there being 16, large pictures may take over the thread somewhat.

You can walk round through the car park and view from the fence near the little hut the marshalls use on the last corner.

I have another 17 photos from a later run as well actually.

i know those tyres were expensive, but your tyre-saving antics are a little extreme

What do you do? Swap them around after each run to keep the wear even?
