The last two years the course has been pretty much the same, figure of 8, mostly mid 3rd gear, not particually long bends (apart from 1) and the straights are very short, obviously not too sure what they'll do this year but would think it'll be similar again. Fwiw the winner of the fwd this year was a Rover running iro 280bhp (just to show you don't need monster power).

I wouldn't worry about what Joe public thinks either. Surely the point of ANY event is competing and you're not competing against the cars running 9 / 10s 1/4's. Be good to see some RST's next year and there are certainally some very potent cars that seem to have turned up, its just not the same without you guys!
