RE: PistonHeads Sporting Tour South now open!
Discussion
Was it just me, or was there a good half a dozen paid entries that didn't appear? Maybe I just didn't see them but I'm sure there was a few that didn't show up.
Marco, good to hear the Aston was sliding about on the time trials. Shame the parking wasn't nearby, would have loved to have been able to see it.

We followed the Aston for the first 2 hours of the morning and then went past after they missed a turn (Or maybe got tired of us being behind them) - it looked fantastic on the road and apart from struggling a little on the hills appeared to go really well. Unfortunately we retired at lunchtime as our little boy was sick as a dog from being hurled around in the back on the last hour of the pretty frenetic drive to Brands, and despite professing to have loved the autotests, he wasn't up for another 2-3 hours of back roads. Great (half) day out for us all the same and would definitely do it again, just 2-up next time.

Totally confused with mine, no idea where the 30 second penalty came from (car 58)...

I thought we had got away with clipping a cone on the slalom... turns out we hadn't.
Good work to the Clio driver, helps my belief that my Clio is faster than the Elise we were in. I will try and upload some footage of our runs at some point.
That was us. Following you was good, above board, nothing silly country lane driving Good work to the Clio driver, helps my belief that my Clio is faster than the Elise we were in. I will try and upload some footage of our runs at some point.
When you bottomed out in the dip on the open bit of road, ouch 
We figured K-series, so 120bhp? It definitely shifted though! For your comparison, mine is standard engine wise, just on cook sport springs, camber, brembos and a few other usual things.

Haha the suspension travel was a touch inadequate for quite a lot of the roads we were on, it felt a bit brutal! It is 135bhp, but they are quite well matched to a 182 in my experience too.
Are you planning on doing either of the other Tours? My 182 should be taking part in both of them with any luck.

I think you were chasing us in the morning; You managed to do a dissapearing act once we cocked up the nav. Making me wish I'd taken the back seats out When you bottomed out in the dip on the open bit of road, ouch 
Hopefully didn't hold you up too much!
Got a nice picture of you in chase:

Probably the north one in July. We'll look out for you.

You guys in the Clio didn’t hang about. Every time we got away courtesy of some traffic five minutes later you were back. Every bend I think we were holding you up? We were the black Audi estate.
We were impressed with the pace of a larger car, we possibly could've pulled away, but you were making good process (with the missus in the car too)! The clio just tells you to go faster, it's worryingly capable!
