Porkie's Skyline or the WRC Focus.

(Porsche wasn't too shoddy either!)

YB powered MK 1 Escort van was ace as well!

Reyland 3 door and Escos looked sweet but both sounded a bit ruff on the track??

Lee's car had some proper surge issues in the mid-range .

Had to be Andy's Focus for me as well - the way he "toyed" with some properly quick cars as well made me glad my car had only done 50 miles and wasn't ready for track action .

were you in sitting in the Granstand at the Complex? Sounds weird though there as in 3rd gear its off boost or surging... its HORRIBLE to drive though there.... simply staggering amounts of understeer car just wants to go straight on everywhere! NASTY

It was my 64 year old uncle driving it mostly as well yesterday so thats why it was surging everywhere as he doesn't like to rev it too hard! he is good driver though

I loved my Skyline out on track, shame I only had 1 hotlap in my session as the SEC 'drift ' car was showing his 'Skillz' and stuck car in gravel

Skyline is amazing on track, sooo good to drive! FAST as well... would loved to have had more than 1 lap as I would have warmed it up properly and tried to put on a bit of a show for the crowds!

I promised my uncle the last session in it and thats why it was going a bit more sedately as he really can't afford to fix it!

Well for me it was that little ratty Mk2 Fez that was making the yellow Porker look stupid in one of the last sessions of the day.

The porker never got more than 3 or 4 car lengths from it in the entire session.

I saw you showing your uncle how to drive the Sierra. Must be pretty tricky as he stalled it a couple of times.

Can i ask, why have you got duc tape on the front arches?

The Yellow MK2 with Forest Arch's, the sound of the BDA at full chat. It was mullering everything in the Old Skool ford session, including some properly fast Cossie powered MK1/2's

The AG Focus was stunning was aswell, looked stupidly fast and could take the corners with an amazing amount of speed

Also enjoyed watching my mate Mini, doing his first ever track session in his MK2 XR2.
