Well - what did everyone think? Been strangely quiet around these parts today...

I though Lee Caroline's car control on the grass, sideways,down the pit straight at about 100mph for 200 yards was nothing short of phenomenal. When he first went sideways we were convinced we were about to see a big accident into the wall, but he kept his foot in and held the slide for an unbeliveable distance before getting back on the black stuff and winning the race.
Awesome.

The only downside to Silverstone (apart from a paddock bar that shut at 7pm) was just 6 laps for the sprint race and 8 for the feature race. Long track yes - but 12 minutes of racing is a bit short!

d_drinks said: grif2be ignore my comment about the EERC, just double checked the regs and unless the car has a lid they won't let you in otherwise it's avery cheap way to get some very good track time in and make use of the old tires Dunlop get rid of after each Tuscan race



You mean like the Castle Coombe GT's (Moonraker Forklift) - where just about anything goes? The Tuscan can run in that and I was hoping that (like last year) this coincided with the Tuscan weekend, but sadly not.
