Tough one this, they were all fantastic cars.

But the one i always had a soft spot for and had a poster on my wall was the 6R4 in Will Gollop Rallycross colours. V6 twin turbo.

Him, Matin Schanke and Matti alamakke(sorry about the spelling) were part of the reason i became hooked on cars......

I missed it last year but went the year before with GT4Dave,it was awesome
The weather was poo as usual at Castle Combe,rained most of the day,but it was great to see them all,some I had never seen 'in the flesh'
