you are right! they were years ago. Had Audi Turbo engines and a 5 speed Hewland Dog box!
They were gooood.
They updated them 3 years ago. Muuuuch better now with Jag engine and sequential paddle shift
6 years? I can barely last 6 weeks with out going!!!
I try and get down once a month in the 'season' that its open for.
what other cars you drive? 6 years ago. from memory was that.... clio cup racer, caterham, Evo, 911, Frontera, kart, FPA single seater?
or was it Honda S2000 instead of 911?
Just incredible day out. never gets boring.
Mate, if I could... I'd be there as often as you are, even the 800 mile round trip wouldn't stop me!!
Sounds like I'll need to save up and get myself down to sample the new line-up since its changed from my trip down.
I drove:
Clio Cup Racer: Properly amazing little car, was paired with a guy I went to school with as my instructor and he's a very handy driver so we got the best from the car.
Frontera: Offroading is ok, doesn't exactly get the adrenaline pumping tho!!
Caterham: Couldn't believe the sensation of speed and enjoyment in such a low powered bathtub.
VX220 Turbo: Lost the back end on the exit of a bend, had a tank slapper for a couple of seconds and then ran out of talent?!
Evo: Good laugh knocking it sideways in a carefree environment.
Kart: Lasting memory of this is coming off with my forearms aching!!
Palmersport Jaguar: Really enjoyed this car, sounded great and handled very well.. once you get a bit of heat in the brakes/tyres.
FPA Single Seater: Awesome!! Gearbox was mechanical as hell, engine gave you a decent kick, handling was great.. made you feel like you were properly flying.
...video footage my dad took showed that I wasn't flying as fast as I thought.
Cheers,
Grant
