Can you make a short clip of that manouvure?
I've grabbed that clip; turn your sound down though as all you can hear is wind noise.

Me and my mate had a good afternoon watching the Track entertainment.

MX-5 nice drift action, all the cars behind near enough come to a stand still as they couldn't see the track through the dust. lol!!

Blue Noble spitting flames on gear changes and lift-off and the whistle noise assuming it was a dump valve of some sort. We were spectating on the mound looking up the pit straight and could still hear it above the exhust noise when the car was at the top of the straight!!

And just before we left the Red Porsche had a moment, driver didn't catch in time and went off, (classic 911 pendulum effect) looked like it broke the front chin lip (black plastic) on the bumper when bouncing across the grass?!!

(I think) they're much lighter than the Xsara which replaced them, so could be a great base car.

Having to find a cat for the MOT could be a PITA. Chuck a request into partsgateway to get some quotes?

There's a stripped out Xsara in the classifieds too. You could have the pair for 2.5k
