Good try Trev.

Bentwaters isn't the easiest track for viewing. :-D

That was like watching 'Blair Witch' :lol:

Looks like a quick circuit. Much grip out there?

I would echo and endorse Logans comments. As long as your car is safe and reliable, anyone can go sprinting and enjoy it.

It is a very fast circuit just over 2miles (3.5kms) with 3 chicanes 2 tightish lefts and a fast sweeping right.

I found loads of grip with the worn out 888s. I'm sure another couple of seconds could have been found with more commitment. My one and only run with full boost was really enjoyable.

Some great photos Logan

Personal favourites being the 211 and the old school white Escort. You were grinning like mad. Just hear news of a tax rebate or similar?

The BRG Mk1 escort was my favorite, it had rumored to cost circa 50k to build, and this was its first outing, the detail of it was amazing, had a stack dash, carbonfirbe interior bits but all done in a period style. And it sounded awesome.

Also, note the carbon wheels and ceramic discs on teh red GT3......bling bling :!:

Alos got a couple of vids of me coming through the last chicane. Will get them up tonight.
