ok ring in November what can i say
col
wet
snow
Run in the new engine thought it was a good place to bed the whole car in, only 8 laps but still that is geting on for 100 miles
or 80 times round brands indy track.
Car ran like a dream
went for a fast lap with Sabeen Schmitin the New subaru Impreza wrx
stayed on far a day to watch the Eifel rally ...they go round the ring the wrong way !
Saw the new Sti Impreza and also a new Legacy Sti on Test
ready for thr 8 hour drive home .... the end .

Nice pics
Looks like a good trip!
That STI Impreza really doesn't look half bad from the front, the WRX still looks gash tho :!:

The car is looking great and very composed up through Hohe Acht on the slippery track :thumb:
I am sure the new impreza's will drive well and if they get the WRC results, then the subaru community will eventually come to like them

There is a good car there in the new Impreza somewhere but the Wrx " out of the box " is not it
the new sti looks the nuts thoe and geting on for 300bhp
the wrx felt like a golf with 4Wd i think it has lost alot of its original charm and character.
Mind you i would just love to have a the legacy sti :P
i must admit the new wrx still had a lot of points going for it and the grip that was found on a cold and wet track just proved that Subaru still know what to do.

Yep in total 132 cars i think were down for the two days with a total of about 180 drivers there
i always view it as a nice n of year social evn if i hav a dau booked at bedford on 24th
well worth the effort thoe of the event even if about 9 Porsche did not get back in on piece .
102 cars may sound a lot on track but as you know spred out over almost 14 miles there is loads of space
an i would say only about 20 or 30 were on track at anyone time .
