I was up there for an hour, the wind was mightily chilly!

Marks Skyline sounded the tits.. Surprised he didn't get black flagged with the noise down the straight...

Was a good selection of cars there aswell, the blue golf went quite well

Shame about the E36 M3 bmw running on 1 cyclinder down all day that sounded fuckin terrible!!!!

I know Jay who owned the golf a while ago... But never seen him drive the car in anger!

Knew it was fast but was quite impressed how quick it went

Reminded me to get my arse up there one sat with the taxi.. Only a little drive from mine.... Plus it's always a bit of a laugh if u get a few of ya on track at the same time.

Woodbridge is ideal as really there is nothing to hit (expecpt straw bails and landing lights)

The surface wrecks your tyres if your not careful but everytime i have been on track i have enjoyed myself. Nice course with friendly people organising it

Yeah I can’t imagine the BMW's went home with much tread on the tires, lol, they were going round very well, and the white saff couldn’t shake them off!

The guy in the white saff slowed down soooo much in the corners the M3's were all over him...

Then the saff pulled away on the straight and a few corners later it was back to square one!

I didn't know how much power the white saff had... Taking a shot in the dark would say stage 3 tops... Didn't have any big brakes or anything flash about it but it didn't brake (unlike 2 of the BMW's)

He gave up after a little while when i was watching, he pulled over and let the BMW's past!

The 3 door was a nice bit of kit, he didnt seem to drive it that hard tho, what i saw anyway!

I have seen my gran drive harder than the red evo going round, what a puss bag!
