yeah I thought the induction was pretty quiet when I was watching on Dec 27th at Donington and my mate Nathan was out in his black CSL, it sounds loud inside the car though.

some owners decat them and put on milltek pipes if they want them to sound louder - but the way these quiet trackdays are going - its better to stay quiet!

Some of that dirt might have been from drifting the whole gravel trap and mud before the dunlop bridge

I think poor old podge is missing you a lot
