I remember looking in my rear view mirror coming out of the chicane once(in my AX GT track car) with Andy COMPLETELY sideways in his Escort but still catching me. He straightened up at about my back bumper and promptly fucked off past me. Good times

They do that on hot hatch days to try and slow folk down coming to corners. It's a big enough rammy with the cones there so cant imagine what it'd be like without

Andy's car seems twitchy on the brakes

how come the camera car has no pod in the middle of the dash, i thought they all did, i'm not trying to say it isn't an escos just curios thats all.

but loving the driving just my style locking wheels up and sliding, makes me wanna get out and buy something a bit more wild than my budget is allowing
