I think it had to do with the fact that the Golf had better drivers, and also the 360 Challenge cars are not that highly modified from the road car. The Golf was a very well built, well prepared car, so it probably was quicker

On the plus side though, fair play to the 'rari guys for getting out there and racing - I think that there is alot of critisism of the track day scene (although not from me) for being a home for people too wimpy to race.

Chances are that most people that can afford the aformentioned dancing donkey are probably at an age where the eleven tenths mentality has started to wane somewhat.

I'm not saying that racing should become a lefty, all inclusive, non-competititve type deal. Just that with these guys competing, it makes the grids up to a sensible size and keeps general motorsport up at the level that it is.

It's also quite nice to go past them in the more realistic 140 bhp racers held together with Duct tape, that the rest of us have to drive

There are still fantastic oppourtunites for drivers looking at competing in this years British GT Championships with new team DRM Racing.

DRM will field two Ferrari F360 Maranello GT Cars, in the Cup Class.

I will be piloting one car, and we are looking for 3 others drivers, a co-driver to drive with me and 2 for the other car which is arriving soon.

The drives are part funded, due to DRM Racing having secured substantial financial backing for this years GT championships.

DRM Racing last week done a £200k deal with leading corporate hospitality company 'Hospitality Matters' to provide hospitality at 5 of the 8 races this year, so we can also cater for your sponsors in a purpose built structure with silver service and VIP treatment.

DRM's plans exceed 2004, as we create solid relationships with our existing sponsors, we would like to encourage drivers to stay with our team as we progress into FIA GT for 2005 and FIA GT and Le mans for 2006.

Any drivers interested in becoming part of DRM Racing for this years British GT Championships please contact me adam.wilcox@drmracing.com

We will be holding a 'shake down' at Mallory Park on Wednesday the 25th if you would prefer to meet in person.
