It was more the pit areas I was thinking of tbh. It would be a mud bath.

entry list (provisional) http://www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/competitors...

lots of research needed - same as every other year, my catchphrase for May seems to be "what on earth is a..."

Expect the FTD battle to include Fyrth Crosse's Ensign, Field/Hewat in the Stohr & one of the Dax (I'm sure some of the new cars might join in as well + if it rains *which it wont* then all bets are off)
I think there is also going to be a Megapin (Glyhn Sketchley) which can be very fast as well.

The Stohr has had a few upgrades, so we look forward to trying to hold onto the very nice trophies again this year. smile

You were stormingly quick last year in the Stohr. I'll be back next year to try and challenge you. I've lost about 65kg from the car since we met last year, so hopefully can go a bit quicker. Looking back through the data, I was over a second up on my fastest time when I spun on the first two timed runs on the Monday. I was looking at something around 35.2 had I been able to stitch it together. Hope it stays dry for you all - last year was brilliant weather!

My bumph is bigger than your bumph - 200 odd pages of commentary info sheets & 3 days to study them all!

I understand we have a radio mic this year so we will come and find you, but if you have anything juicy to share, com box is same place as last year (on the elevated bit above the chicane)

I look forward to raising some donations to the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust. smile

Does anyone know if the GoPro suction mounts are acceptable? I'm told it's down to the scrutineers discretion?

Brilliant fun today and gorgeous weather. Some stunning cars and a new course record. Plus some donut in a 3 series getting into a huge tank slapper off the hairpin. smile
