Sorry, but dogs are not allowed on the hillside area. They have to be left in cars in the car park.

This is general practice at all motor sport venues in the UK as a dog getting on the track could cause a few problems............

Hope you all had a good day - I got there just after all the action finished! I gather it was a good day though, with no major incidents to slow things down.

What happened to the PH Massive?

We were parked in the trackside car park but didn't see anyone all day. I kept sidling up to good looking women and whispering "are you Chim Girl". After the third slap I gave up.

My bro and I made it down, but didn't get there early enough to get in the trackside car park. Its difficult to know who is PH and who isn't, and I wasn't prepared to sidle up to random people to ask. I did however see a number of pimps and homeys crowding around a black E36 M3 Evo convertible that was parked a few cars along from mine. Nice Quad exhaust conversion by the way....

I don't know if anyone else was at the final corner (can't remember its name) to see that heavily turbocharged Audi S2 come flying round completely sideways before going straight off into the gravel trap. They certainly do try at these events. I heard that moments before he hit 100 past the speed trap.

I believe that if he had been under 60 sec he would have won the championship. I was stood opposite the time board. He seemed to be a little slow in the middle and then really went for it. He flew past us, registered 100 on the speed trap and just kept going! You instinctively knew he was too fast for the final bend. Great attempt though.

That'll have been us then

Assuming it was the one parked next to the subtle yellow 348 and blue Cerbera and Chimeara.

Yep, very subtle, especially with the baby seat strapped into the passenger seat...

I was hoping to have a snoop around Al's new toy, but my gf decided to be ill so couldn't come along. Bloody inconsiderate.

Simon Bainbridge (Audi S2 driver) did win the championship. Then thanked the marshals for getting him out of the gravel on many occasions this year............

Last corner is Quarry
