Glad Day 2 went as well as day1. V jealous and sounds like you all had an absolute riot!!!

As I read all the posts more and more "moments" came back to me such as the "backwards across the finish line" approach which was absolute classic!!

Ben, great Vids mate - I've got a couple of runs off my go pro although the footage isn't too exciting. Will see if i can get it online though, never done it before.

Daniel, awesome pics, would love a copy mate.

Its all been said but thanks to all again, great event, amazing cars (and all being "used") and good banter. Credit to all involved that we're invited back next year - personally I can't wait and reckon it's gonna be big :nod:

Oh, and maybe next year I'll remember to adjust my suspension from road spec which is basically everything set on soft as fook - doh! there's a saying I believe that begins "all the gear..." :blush5:

Softer settings would have been better out there anyway, in my opinion ;) But who am I to quibble.........you went fastest :nod: :thumbs:

I agree, while it was was wet. Just not convinced that soft everything is best. Still, as you say, I went home with the Jersey :thumbs:

Well that was good fun!:D

After all the effort of trying to get the car to drift/slide in the wet, it wasn't till I was on my way home that I remembered that I now have diff control which would have sent more of the power to the rear. :willy_nilly:

Really had a blast on Saturday, with a great bunch of people & cars.
Would have been there today also had I not been roped into a family gathering.
Huge thanks to all the guys - who organized, set up and did the timekeeping. These events wouldn't happen without you. :cheers2:

I will be making sure I do both days next year!

Great day Cheers Stu and all who helped out ! Good fun had by all I think ! Gary cheers for mthe run out in the EVO ! My god I have been in some quick cars but that is something special......I couldn't believe how fast the horizon comes at you.....and that was tame by all accounts......I would pay good money to have a passenger laps or two on a proper circuit !

Was fun getting the Soarer sideways ! Although didn't fully commit ! Not with thiose wheels on anyway
Next time I will fit my R888's and really go for it :-)

Thanks again guys
