I was hoping to go, but I've defected to Cadwell Park for the Elise Trophy. Make sure you post some pictures of everything!

Still be nice if the GT4s ran within the British GT G4 class, though.

But its easier to balance the racing if theyre all the same smile
Plus AMR are directly involved with the AMOC series.
In addition (the bit that I like the most) we get garages...
We were looking at the poor buggers putting awnings up in the rain on thursday thinking "been there done that"

Now all I need to do is invent something that prevents our drivers from crashing into each other. Maybe a simple credit card swipe would suffice.....

I had a good day yesterday flagging at Lodge out.

Some good racing, always get nervous when i see a endurance race on the list - but the GT4 race and the later 45min had some good battles through out.

"Rubbings Racing" comes to mind....
The 2 cars we entered typically had a coming together, one later had engine issues which were fixable but put the car out of the running and finally the other one had damage to the rear suspension after another incident....

I would have thought that AMR would have benefitted most from seeing their cars take on others (and, hopefully, win).

Surely nothing to stop AMR putting up their own prize for the best placed Aston either?

At most Brit GT rounds, the GT cars (inc G4) do get garages.
