Just back home myself. Got plenty of video footage and some pics, will post them up after dinner.

Didn't catch the lap record time, what was it? Is this an improvement on the F1 Ferrari timed around KH either last year or the year before?

Awesome second race, shame about the first one

I'm not sure what record it was, it may be the Scottish saloon car record hes got, a bloody good achievement for the cars first outing.

APMSL!

Now thgis focus is fucking awesome but IIRC the F1 car was circa 2003 barrichelo F1 ferrari? I reckon the ferrari had a wee bit more spent on it and might be a bit faster

51 sec is FAST in the focus tho
