Bad news about the diff but still a good time and , a view of things to come .
Will Andy have room to go to a 8" front diff if the R&D starts to become the weak point once the new engine is in?

Just got back, had a good day. Was even nice in the afternoon.

Andy's car is just silly, even on the old motor, looked awesome on track. So did the gobstopper tho, Ollie sure can pedal!

Don't know what was up with Norris's Evo, he was out in the morning but not in the afternoon, was easily the loudest car on track though, sounded IMMENSE!

The highlight of the day though was the trucks racing round in the morning on the wet track, sideways out of deers leep, awesome!

Was nice to meet you Andy, i was with StickerPaul.

Just back home, was an ok day, TOO much stopping & starting imo, weather was shite for about half hour or so in the morning..

AG`s car was fantastic, looks SO well on track...great job Andy...

Gobstopper, well we all know about that, looked and went awesome again....

Old RC cars weren,t hanging about either....

Ive just got in myself, Andy G was flyin .7 secs quicker in one session and getting quicker before the diff went :-( bet it would of been alot quicker with the other engine in too !!!
Warren's car was looking mega clean and fairly quick too !!
only dissapointment of the day was them running fomula fords surely it would wotk out better running either the Jap challenege or the north west modified saloons championship !!!

Was biggest shock of the day that I think, and the fact a 13yo old knocked out the 2007 drift champ in the white S14

Andy was rapid as expected, shame diff failed as he would of gone faster in the final with much better conditions on track.

Gobstopper was cool as fuck, proper tidy, well thought out and engineered car.

Norris was a bit of a dissapointment, I know the new build will have niggles but it just didnt look impressive on track at all.

It always amazes me that a company can have a demo car like that plus the other Combe race car and the Lambo from owning a tuning garage, they must be rammed out the door with work.

Carlo, head is in Andy's trailor.

Awesome day & awesome cars. Ollie's gobstopper is stupildy clean & the preperation is outstanding. Seriously quick car. Andy & Warren did the Ford's proud

Highlight for me the truck racing & Andy on the grass pushing one of the cars out the way before breaking the diff Oh & Stavros cardigan

according to the TA website andrew's the only car classed as a "prototype" thats running? does this mean that he has different rules to the pro runners or is it just classed as a proto for the fact of how its been built?

would think that would be the case, as well as it being cut up to be lower on the roof and shorter bodied too?
