Hello.new poster here,love all types of fast cars especially muscle cars,vipers and corvettes among my favourites.
Going to Elvington this weekend and am curious to know first hand the braking distance at the end of the 1.25 mile run,do you have to brake hard or HARRRRRD

There should be 5 vipers making the trip this year, I know last year all the drivers had to VERY HARD on the brakes to slow down enough at the end with grass,bush's and a corner looming. I'm not sure what the braking distance was or is this time around

Not sure if they are using the same part of the runway this year, there's viewing this time by the finish line

There are quite a few vipers in Hampshire, more than any other county to my knowledge !!, look out for a red viper being trailored by a Ram, and hoot your horn when you go past. Come say hello at Elvington, you'll know who the Viper people are

funny you should mention that,i recall going to some sleepy village in the middle of the hants countryside and pulling into a pub carpark some years back..and bang straight in front of me was a red convertible viper..made me feel like a kid...you know the bit ,where you hang around and hope to hear it start up.
mentionend this to a mate and apparently this guy had 3(THREE) of these beasts in his possesion.
Will look out for you on the way up and wonder over to the nest at Elvington.
safe journey
