The venue at waterbeach was very challenging, in fact the day before the sprint, lots of time was taken just to sweep the track of all the gravel.

Over 40 competitors entered the first round, although a few of the big power cars were missing and the 5 cars from toyota GB.

There was everything from a huge, very sideways Big lexus to a tiny Argo which did very well.

Next event is the May bank holiday at Barkston Heath, where the tester event was last year.

Its a very friendly series where the emphasis is on a balance between professionalism and fun.

that was my aristo............quite exciting to put it mildly..........

Yeah it was a good battle with me in the 165. I think we can call it 1 all now as you beat me at Barkston last time

Will you have the new car for May?

Is it the same course as the RAFMSA use? If so, was it clockwise or anti-c/w? What was the time?

Nice pic BTW

was clockwise

second vid is fastest time 61.084 but was voided not sure why as i didnt hit the cones/poles or go on the grass. Final time was 62.130

still cant switch the TC/VSC etc of and on the last bend it refuses to accellerate which is getting on my t*ts

That looks super smooth and soooo quiet

Looks like they've slowed the finish as it used to just sweep right instead of the left/right coned bit.

You guys ought to come and do some MSA events too.

Hi Dave,

Good to catch up with you on sunday

It was a close run thing, but old triumphed over new :twisted: as I got a 60.809. :P

I do think you would have got even quicker with more runs, as I had the benifit of using the same car as last time and working out were my car was really strong.

The track suprised me, as lots of people did not go as fast as last year? :?

Still it was great fun. roll on Teeside!, what further cool mods you planing ??
