Good times.

Was nice to see the Reyland cars on track.

Hadlands escort looked awesome, especially after the wheel swap on to the white old style comps.


Car of the day for me was an M reg M5 3.8.

Black Sapph was my fav car of the day just made me smile, but a shame he had to turn the boost down because of noise was running great in the first few sessions.

Martins car looked the part and did well as far as i saw im sure there a lot more there but as he said only a testing day but all good.

Porkie and dangours reylands car where great faultless all day as i saw.

Well done lads

was a good day

it's a shame martin had to run 0.8 bar boost and shift at 5k to get past noise regs. Porkie also had to run low boost etc!

Dangerous had no problems at all with noise

Dangerous had no problems at all with noise
Yeah bit of a ball ache having to run low boost and silence them down even more for these dam noise regs
and having to lift slightly for the pit straight just to make sure
(still got black flagged and they said can i turn the boost down more )
Mine felt like the throttle cable had stretched

GREAT day! I was out all day as had the Sierra in Expert and the Skyline in Novice

PROPER day. Skyline is just an awesome car Drives there in total comfort and then is a total WEAPON on track and then drives home with no issues. LOVE it!

Sierra was fast as fuck everywhere apart from the Pitstraight where I had to back off throttle totally and coast along due to getting a noise warning Other than that it was mental. Was only running 1.4 bar as well and VERY shonky geometry! Was good to keep up with everything out there easily apart from on Pitstraight though

Car of the day for me was either the Z06 Vette which was very quick for standard roadcar!!! or the GT2.... The driver of the GT2 was a real HERO! I mean it! Legend... I followed him through three corners and he was totally sideways and on the mud in 2 of them!!!

Was nice to overtake Hadland down Craners He is just getting his eye in with new car.... It WILL be a weapon once we get noise sorted on both cars. We think the issues are induction rather than exhaust now!!!

Was great to meet everyone and I hope the people I took out enjoyed it.

Was great to run 2 cars all day and not break anything!!!

Gotta say... REALLY Loving my Skyline now Ask Mike how good it is HOW MUCH GRIP

Daz in the Dolomite is also a PROPER hero driver as well!!! FOOOOK me that thing goes in a straight line Walked away from my Skyline on back straight!!!!

Thank GOD for corners...
