trax show 2nd sept, silverstone is there a pistonhead area,
Discussion
We didn't manage to get our cars into the "B16" area. You needed passes to get into the club areas and we didn't know how to get one. Saw the Yellow Viper in the B16 area. No one around to talk to though.
I liked the drifting displays. Never seen it before and thouroughly enjoyed it. Looks a right laugh! I wonder if a Tuscan would make a good drift car?
The 0-60 track was quite entertaining. That Carrera GT was very dissapointing though. He seemed to be having real trouble cracking 5s to 60! Another prime example of that Gumball lot having way more cash than talent!
What was with that 0-60 record attempt? Was it the Atom attempting it? Did he eventually get on with it or did his head get too big to fit back in the car after all that tedious posing for the TV crew? We got bored and watched the topless birds on the FastCar stage instead.
All in all an enjoyable day with lots to see.

chavtastic!!!!!!!!! anyone see me? stickered up t350c!
I saw you on the track getting a hard time from the Nova/Fiesta boys Did you do a 0-60? Yea, that Volvo 850R estate was very quick. His brakes were really stinking though!
It looked a bit too busy and manic on the track for my liking, especially towards the end of the day. There were quite a few drifters out there doing their thing and overtaking everyone whilst sideways. Looked cool but I'm suprised the marshalls allowed it.

I went along yesterday too. I also had my reservations about it having the presence of some chavs and yes there were probably some there but it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the day. There were a lot of interesting cars there and the 0-60 runs with the Gumballers and Ariel Atom were pretty good.

Not sure. It was very dark coloured (dark green, black maybe) with anthracite wheels. It was the only Volvo estate I saw on track.number plate was something like ** T5R

I had a good nosey round the engine bay of that Victor towards the end of the day. Very interesting. I was marvelling at the bin lid sized turbo-chargers and massive intercooler. Nice.
Is the Vauxhall faster than that MG X-power car also there? Didn't see it do a 0-60 but witnessed it do a burnout in the paddock at the end of the day. Quality!
