Spring Sprint 2010

[WhiteGTI]

Thinking of going to this next Monday...does anyone know where i can find out what cars have been entered? Just curious as to what's going to be running!

I've been a few times before and its a nice day (for a spectator) when there is some interesting cars running!

Thanks!

Nothing on the GRRC members' site yet, I'm afraid, although I know a Tesla will be sprinting on the day (see about half way down the page: http://www.drivingability.co.uk/news_items.htm).

Yes was there, got some pics but don't think they were too good - will post some later. The wife quite liked the GT-R's - tell you what though the Audi estate was 'kin quick! RS4 I guess but tuned?

RS6, auto box an' all.

RS4 saloon was the fastest 60' time of the day I think - 2.04 secs.

Sorry to have missed you mate - should have sent you a text really, could have guessed you were there.

OK some pictures, there are not all that though, just my little point and shoot.
I did like the look of the Lotus - ah well there seems to be a problem with uploading at the moment - I'll pop back.

Lotus


These fella's were quiet!


Those GT-R's are BIG!


Nice pint on the way home

Almost... The older Skyline posted 1.99, faster than either the newer two GT-Rs managed........ :-)

I think the award for best drive of the day should go to the 60s Griff - a shade over 90 seconds for the lap in a car with no computer assisted anything, let alone launch control

Absolutely - great driving and a real spectacle.

Especially when you consider it is running on crossply tyres

I know the owner of the car & he said Anthony Reid was at Silverstone last weekend & was entered in races in two different Lola's & Alan Jone's ex-F1 car and won all of them

I remember two years ago at the Sprint when it was -3C & snow showers in the afternoon seeing Anthony holding the Griff in a sideways drift almost the length of the Lavant Straight ....I asked him afterwards what sort of speed he was doing as he still looked quick......quite unfazed he said 'about 150mph'

Apparently when he drove at Le Mans the team manager said they used to lock him in a dark room & feed him raw meat before letting him out on the track

Didn't see this do a lap, only saw it disappear under the tunnel and over to the car park, guess it only ran in the morning?

I see that the GRRC have the track booked again this Saturday. Does anyone know what the event is? Is it a trackday?
