Wow, well done on that time!

Puts things in perspective next to the other cars. To say you were just 10ths off that Evo IX RS on such a course is testament to how much you really were pushing it.
It's odd because you didn't look that quick, but I guess thats just because it didn't sound LOUD like the other cars

Shame that TT V8 went off. 4.2 turbo, I bet that had a silly power to weight figure! Would have been cool to see it's time

Potential to drop into the 64s me thinks, I just need to stop playing with the wireless on the way up the hill. Radio 2 reception is terrible through the farmyard.

VW Golf did a 69.83 run, it was quick for a production car but sounded as interesting as the Le Mans Audi's..., That Audi quatro however sounded amazing


He's not doing too bad is that lad in the Golf for a novice - tho he takes some interesting lines at times (visited the scenery on Saturday at the Esses - missed the flackers some how going between them backwards) but i think the car would benefit from smaller alloys or a little more air in the tyres– he’s got that little pressure and tyre wall that’s he’s practically on the rim in the corners.

Then again sponsor’s cars – same with the Ex Formula Renault of the Cubical Centre – always seem to be on the ragged edge

Any pics of the TT? The S2 was a monster - sadly missed.
Haven't managed to get to the last 2 meetings - looking forward to the next one!

Ah, is it the same bloke who had the Audi S2 with silly bhp and slicks?

I liked that TT though, very special looking and well built!

He went off on Sunday at Farmhouse, looked like collapsed rear offside suspension
