Stop teasing and give us a bit of a rundown


It was a good experience. Whether you 'won' or not was down to the panels personal car preference and not a magazine-style objective shootout. It <b>really</b> didn't matter who won, it was more of a good chance to thrash the cars for free at Brunters, then get your 15 minutes of fame on TV .

Class winners get trophies, in all the mags, sponsored by Redline last year. Some very fast motors, look at the results over the last couple of years all have to road legal, MOT,taxed etc on road going tyres, no slicks allowed. Very popular event, big crowds
