What would you do?
Reet, a while back i seen an ad in the paper for a comptetiton to win a years driving for the VXR BTCC team...
so i went online and answered the questions (or Googled the ones i didnt know and guessed the rest )
after all the questons it got to a ti breaker "in 3 words, state how your friends would describe how you drive"
my answer was 'Like a cunt'
and that was that...
then a couple of weeks later i get an email saying that i have got through to the semi finals - now this is a karting stint at Thruxton, and then if your good enough - the final...
so either they thought my reply was ace, or no one else entered
now, im a bit fat and weigh in at about 14.5 stone at the mo, so im pretty sure that i wont be the fastest person there, but it might be a good laugh and some free karting lol...
but im having second thoughts if i can be arsed to go or not now lol...
if not there is combe for the rally day, or i just stay at home...

Dan, you dont deserve to be in a prestiguous car like a vauxhall, stick to your old fords mate
Seriously though, worth a shot I reckon if its free, and not some scam to make you pay for karting, lol

Or go Karting, for all you know all the opposition will be blind quadraplegics, and you might win.

imagine if you won you would have to put up with driving a fucking crocksall for 12 months - sorry but i couldnt do it - i hate vauxhall with a passion. a full race prepped top spec car might be a little differant but if its anything like thier production models past and present then i would go to the rally day.
ive only ever seen one good crocksall and that was a mk 3 astra that was in a hangar at elsmereport while we were scrutineering there one year - some massive wide arched 4 wheel drive beast - possible rally cross car??

but to drive a propper specced car, as you say is a little different lol
still, i could always crash them into the other VXR's and take out the front runners
probably wont last long there tho

I don't know on both acounts Dan. Altho he drives a Pug 406.
Judging by the published results for the first two kart races, they list the Top 24 (12 AM, 12 PM) so guessing it's 20 per race.
6 kart rounds: info is
15mins to set your own fastest lap.
Those go to a Grand Prix where the top 2 go to Finalist Camp.
1st four already through. This weekends results to be displayed.

what about the option to fix the 3 door
if the karting is free then go for it, what have you got to lose?
other than your dignity after you get thrashed by some 4 year old

I went to tha manchester event , had a wicked day , Free Karting , cant argue with that , Plus i Qualified for the morning GP Final , which against 400 ish others i was pretty pleased about , If you look at manchesters Final results for the morning im there "Stuart Woodward" 5th and after starting 9th i was pretty pleased , i think if id qualified better id have certainly been in with a shot.
There were 18 sessions of about 15 mins each when i was there , fastest 12 of the morning through , and fastest 12 for the afternoon. Both go into a final race off Winner takes all
