To those that have been before how busy is it & can you park within walking distance as i'd imagine you could not park anywhere nearby unless paying parking fees.

Hi all had a great day at Brighton there was a fantastic range of cars and bikes of all types and ages having a go the weather was fine a bit too hot for us turbo cars !!
My first launch did not go well I have had so little time to do some decent practice
I was to busy messing around with my anti lag the first time was 15.77 rather slow !!
I waited for another run and then improved my time to 13.83 which was better but a much better time is in the car I thought I would have been having another go but in the class I was in you only do a practice and one run I really enjoyed my day but will be back again for more runs I feel a trip to Santa pod coming on to try a proper surface a few pics from the day :
I must thank all our loyal customers that made the trip down to come and support the RT team the car had lots of attention all day and I even had a TV interview from a very nice lady who loved the car as much as me I think,
I must thank Andy and James for the Built by RT Mechanics sticker a very kind thought which the Peril now wears with pride :
So a great day all round I got to drive our loan car home so went from 468 hp to 170 as it was high time my bro had a decent drive the 50 odd miles back to RT HQ which he rather enjoyed The peril did not miss a beat all day even though the bonnet was up I had not one problem in my class there were 62 cars I came 15 th so was happy with that .

It was nice to have another yellow car near by Siggy says 591 it made that on race fuel last year been through a few changes since and a few issues with cam's i had made but will be back to *** ?? power soon i thought i would use the time while the cams are re done to test a few things
The car is still fwd getting the power down is not as bad as you would think with decent suspension tyres etc
the few people that went in the car with normal road tyres were very impressed with the amount of traction it has Russ
I work in Brighton too!!!
