Hey all, hope you are well!
Not been online in a while, got myself a new job and has kept me very very busy so haven't really been online nor out with the camera.
I did however get an invite to the Prodrive Open day yesterday at the HQ in Banbury, where Prodrive opened it's gates to the public in a fund raising event.
We were entertained by the Subrau WRC team with mock-up service stops, a tour of the factory where we saw the several stages of the cars being built for Rallies, and also we had an insight into the Aston Martin racing team and the engineering they undertake.
It was a brilliant day, even if you aren't a fan of the Scooby scene, but for Rally fans and Engineers and Motorcar fans it was a great day out.
Chris Atkinson (for those rally fans) will know drives for Subaru, second to Petter Solberg; he was there signing and driving the Subaru WRC into the service before a gearbox was changed and put back in in 6 minutes lol
Anyhow, I won't bore you with every detail, please see some of my picures from the day if it interests you
