not especially interesting per se, but in relation to this thread yeah. Basically it was non jap cars winning every class, maybe except one I think.

Steve G won pro in the Lotus, and Steve Linton was just beaten by the supercharged Honda powered Exige in Club rwd - think he's looking forward to snett for big straights that suit the supra better :)

Did you get along to watch mate? Surprised Gareth Lloyd didn't win the pro class in his Evo. Snett should be good but Cadwell should be immense. A serious bollock measuring contest that one :D

Yeah I was there - ALL DAY, went up with paul who had to be there early for sign on which after the sat night I had wasn't a good idea - I was asleep on a camping chair in the pit garage in the final despite both the supras coming in for set up changes and they aint exactly quiet lol!! I didn't flinch apparantly :) Useful pit crew me!!

Agreed, Cadwell will be awesome, proper circuit that one. You heading up? I'm in two minds at the mo but reckon it will be worth the trip

Seriously need a full weekend at home some time soon, but I reckon I'll have to go for that one. There should be some real spectacles to behold as it's a proper drivers circuit (no room for Pussies :D) Did I mention I've won there? :D

What did you win there Stuart?

Brands was great but faaar too hot! Great day though and nice to see the Norris 'Bogey' Evo back out on track too. One of the highlights for the day for me though was watching the 6 or so tuning Mini Cooper S' in club flying around the track... they certainly held their own and were out for pretty much the whole session, every session!

A couple of pics from the day...

One of the rounds of the sprint championships I competed in. Happened to be a British Championships round but there were only about 5 or 6 people in my class. Still, a win is a win and I beat a few four wheel drive cars with over 400hp ;)

Nice one :thumbs: As you say, a win is a win and i doubt there are many mere mortals who can say they've been awarded a trophy on the podium at Cadwell! :D
