It's always a shame when cars get damaged but that's the risk I guess.

Glenn - I've pretty much made my mind up mate. If I break the escort I can have a change of spec on the saph so it's not all bad

Every car on our stand looked amazing! But as I have a thing for series 1's, I have to add that the two white ones looked amazing together!!!

Whilst i was there the track action was pretty much continuous only pausing to let one session off before allowing the next session on. Great selection of cars too but the best/quickest had to be the RS200, he had a little tussle with one of the Silverstone Evoras but then humiliated it by leaving it standing and i think the Evora went off to sulk and lick its injured pride as i never saw him out again whilst the RS200 was still on track.

Was that you in the RS200 mate? What is the spec. of the car? The Evoras had pretty much been dominating the track until you went on, i would have loved to have seen the look on the Evora drivers face when you pissed on his parade .

One of our leads to distributor cap came off after our warm up lap so was left with 3 cylinders, still mugged a few cars off.
We was looking for your car Craig and we couldn't see it

It was me who organised the RS200 to appear, I had it on the RSOC stand as our guest (im on committee) and have been working with the mach 2 team to get the car to the show.... National day was the plan but the car wasnt back in time

Mark Rennison, double ex british rally cross champion was driving it...had a few drinks with him on saturday night and got some good crack from what goes on at pikes!

The car had a few hairy moments and couldn't show full potential due to traffic.....

Ended up loosing drive half way through session as it only arrived back from pikes peak wednesday..... was set up at 2 bar...950bhp, but due to being back at lower altitude it was running bad and overboosting to 2.3bar...1000+ bhp and this shear a shaft in transfer box!

heres some pics of when it arrives ...i managed to squeeze myself in to it..just!!
And also a video of it on track....including evora ass whipping
