Seriously guys, looking at the cars on that lists theres little point in me going. Im going to be left miles behind in my little Fiesta ST. Nobles, M3, M5........ Thats crazy lol.
I am sure you will be fine!
You really should'nt worry about it, ive been on plenty of runs and people are really just there for a spirited drive, nobody will be driving anywhere near 10/10ths.

Come along, it will be good fun, especially if you have never been on one before smile

You'll be fine mate.. i did a ph run in my battle scarred dirty french slut (diesel 306) back in october as my RS wasnt back from the garage in time.

Was obviously really down on power compared to your car.. But I actually really enjoyed it as had to drive it at 10/10ths !!

Watch out for that, very popular place for police speed traps. All times of day and all days of the week. Unmarked run up and down it regularly too.

There's a well known hooning road in that area that also happens to be used by the local constabulary for their driver training and refresher sessions apparently.

Personally I'd rather save the enthusiastic driving for the B-roads and keep things sensible on the main roads - it's too easy to get yourself into hot water and ultimately not that fun going quickly on wide straight roads. You can have great fun on some of the twisty country roads while staying more or less within the spirit of the law.

Even though it whispers death at me everytime I approach anything that remotely resembles a corner I love it to bits.

Spose it's like owning a great white shark; novel, until the bugger rips your rib cage out.

I doubt a Clio V6 is scary enough for you Blib. We know from Top Gear that not even The Stig can tame a Hawk Stratos. smile

I may have to drool at both - although I'm not brave enough to buy one I would rather like a Clio V6...

nono

Clio V6.

Engine in crazy position? Check!

Car seems to have a mind of its own? Check!

Tries to kill driver if he even thinks about lifting off in a corner? Check!

That makes it about perfect in my opinion!

Yeah its gonna take me about 2 hours to get there aswell mate. Its worth it for see a noble or some nice 911's up close and personal. Even if they are going to be little more than a spec on the horizon.
