A nice video that Al.

Only two problems there.1) Cadwell is tight and twisty, Snetterton ain't.2) Some of the boys on here can drive a bit. The red Lancer was very inconsistent with his lines, the white one bottled it too quickly to judge.

The big advantage anyone with a cheaper, older car has is the 'oh shit' factor. The OS factor is much smaller in something that you don't mind denting or caning and conversely, the OS factor is pretty big in

evo should have pulled over to let the pug pass ages before that - if ever someone is on your tail for that long or able to drop back and catch at will... they are quicker than you.

had the same at cadwell with a twat in his focus RS - the lines were appalling, dangerous and nearly cut me up a few times. I then went out with the instructor and had the same problem. The instructor "had a few words with him" afterwards - and strangley didnt make it out onto the track again that day :D

Lesson - Look in your mirrors if someone has catch you, they are quicker !!!

its damn obvious the pug driver knew which way the circuit went. the evo should have pulled over as already mentioned.

thats the first time ive seen any footage from cadwell park and now i know why its referred to as the british nurburgring!

Cadwell does look like a small, narrow and twisty circuit, with not much run off, unlike Snetterton. Having said that, I would love to go round there 8)
