Driving down is a lot more fun

Reminder it's tomorrow....2nd time for me, brilliant day out.

Don't forget there is a grass autotest circuit and for a few quid you can hammer round that, we took a second car (wifes) along just for that.

Was a great day. The Morris in front of me broke something on the start line - apparently the road had been resurfaced. I took a more cautious approach

Was he the one who dropped oil all up the hill and caused the big delay?

No, he made it 1cm and had to be pushed off. I thought the oil dropper was the Xenos but could be wrong.

Looks like the Morris popped a half-shaft on the start line. The new surface looked particularly grippy with many cars struggling to break traction at 1st attempt. (obvs a lot of them quickly overcame that!)

The Zenos dropped what the marshalls thought at the time was transmission oil, but i guess it could've been engine oil / dry sump due to the river of it going up the track as he obliviously carried on up the hill. I hear the Zenos was parked up at the top of the hill, but never saw it again. Hope it wasn't too painful on the wallet.

great day however.
