Tasmin is loaded on trailer ready for an early start , our first drive of the car other than getting off and on the trailer .
It is fitted with federal 595's so should be ok whatever the weather , leaving the slicks at home this time.

Just got some Nangkang NS2R's to try out, went for 180 hard. Says B rating in wet, so might work for either. Just moved it around and now all the stones in the yard are stuck to them. The tyres look like an icecream with 100's n 1000's on it. So seem ok so far

Why not tow it up behind the ML? Then you can bring a spare set or two of tyres. I have my impact gun and jack with me, and we can soon assemble a pit crew.

Showered and tucked up in the Breckland Lodge. I am assuming that our garages have been grouped together. I shall double check first thing.

Already lost the rear number plate on the journey up hear laugh

Dry first thing, horizontal rain late morning and through lunch, then dried out and even got sunny... Awesome passenger ride in Peter's 5.5 biggrin

Would've taken more 'action' shots but battery went dead...
















And finally (couldn't resist)......

Excellent day. One casualty, hope it's not too bad Mat.

I think I've reached the point where trackday tyres would be beneficial.

Lucky I have them for Samy.
