Well done Matt

A great write up as usual :thumb:

Those Suzukis look good fun and I'm delighted that Kens business is going well out there

Sounds like a hardcore 27 hours. The office must have been surreal when you got back

What a great writeup mate !!!!

Certainly worth thinking about in the future as the biggest worry (damaging/breakdown of your own car on the journey or on the Ring itself) is removed !!

Sounds excellent Matt, what a good way to do it.

What are the excess costs on the cars if you bin them??

Its 5k euros, not sheap, but then you'd have to be driving exceptionally badly, or just come have a freak incident to fall off the track in them. They are well set up and have enoughpower to be fun, not leary.
There is an RS focus there too if you fancy 230bhp thru the fronts......

If I was being honest, I'd rather stuff a rental than have to try and sort out an insurance payout on my own car thru a UK based company.
