What's the history behind this? I was there last year and remember this evo on track.

I'll probably be there again spectating, if it wasn't so slippery I'd like to get mine on track but I've not done a trackday in mine yet and 350bhp through the rear wheels (standard 15"s) on a wet track covered in aircraft fuel might not end well lol

The lad couldnt drive for shit thats the story. My mum could have taken corners faster than him. When you caught him up he wouldnt let you past and because the it was knocking out 500+bhp i wasnt like you could just power past him down the straights.

Ended up people overtaking him in stupid ways as it was the only option. I got pissed off and had a word with him after a session as he was ruining my day. Sad thing is when his mate drove the car there wasnt a problem because he wasnt ignorant and he could actually drive.

I would being doing it again this year if i had a car. Sod the weather i have had a great laugh in mine and that was with 380bhp and then 420bhp ish last year.
