everyone seemed well behaved, aquaplaning at 110mph wasn't too fun! I was shot from sat so didn't drive too much today. Seems the escorts running enough power now to make its m rated tyres interesting/dangerous. To be honest the handling was a fair way off and a handful, one stupid spin at 70mph was enough to knock my confidence in the escort but luckily the vr6 was there still and run spot on.

Gareth if you guys had hung around by about 3pm the track was nearly empty. Harry and i were able to build some great laps without hardly seeing another car, Maybe he was building through the day? from what i understand he had gone into the pit exit bent to hot and got it sideways off the track, then the back wheel dug in on the grass and over he went?

I nearly did that too at the same point! .. I kind of wasn't paying attention to my entry speed - started sliding merrily towards the grass - then magically made it round
