Wow - saw it in the pits and assumed that it was just the ultimate tow car. I was out rather a lot and didn't spot it on track - did you only run later in the day (I left early) or did I somehow manage to miss it?

From the video it seems much better planted than I would expect - nice.

Thanks for comment Colin. I was also out a lot, 225 kilometres in total plus 100 litres of fuel burnt. It's the perfect track day car Huge boot to carry fuel cans and spare wheels etc. More about it here http://www.hsv.org.uk/topic.asp?t=678772&f=69&... on the HSV site.
We had the perfect weather, wet and dry. Next time it's Spa in July

What's the score with macleans/coppice at the minute? Is it running under yellow there because of the new tunnel? Or is it business as usual?

ETA: I guess business as usual judging by that video...and that is the biggest steering wheel I have ever seen on a track car

Business as usual for track days only

It's one of the biggest cars (ute/pick up)as well 1800kg's

just as well it's a ute - I guess you can carry a day's worth of spare tyres in the back that way...

I do, this trip I picked up 8 wheels, 4 with tyres plus 2 second hand carbon race seats

Carbon race seats in an 1800kg car?

Good price and they look nice
