Counted a reasonable amount, loads less than the one I did last year tho with the new class 3 with modified turbo's being introduced.

My ole bus is still way down on power from some other tho, really need a forged short block with a 9 GT turbo to have the best spec....but got other priorties than that.

At least one of these as the car wont see the road much this year.

Friday 15 MAY - ROCKINGHAM MOTOR SPEEDWAY (Handling Circuit)
Saturday 8 AUGUST - OULTON PARK (Rally Circuit)
Saturday 31 OCTOBER - SILVERSTONE (Stowe Circuit)

Need to sort rims and tyres if i do.

Nice, I'm going to try and do Oulton and the last Silverstone as well, can't make Rockingham as will be on Honeymoon.


If you do decide to do one and its just for thre craic rather than you going for gold, if you don't want to use your nice wheels and tyres then you can borrow a set of mine if you want?? But I have to say the wear on the tyres from 1 sprint is pretty minimal.

Not worried about wear, I run a slightly odd combination of tyres on the road Yoko parades on the front which for me give some great grip and pirelli P'000 on the rear that are the total opposite. Needs some 888 or something similar really.

I do have the original 17 that might do the job with some decent rubber.

Thanks for the offer buddy :wink:

Ya, not booked ones until I know nearer the time about work etc. As I am self employed and only have a contract till end of March, so just taking it easy.
