Can someone give me a link for the race at 8pm tonight? I've looked on the itv website and can't see anything to do with the race on there?

Sounds like it is easier to get parts for the race cars than the road going 500's?

Thats well cool Paul. I wondered why I didn't see you or your car at croft. Its nice to see the old sierras coming back out to play.

What was the car like to drive? Was it a hand full?

I was quite shocked Glenn

as many know i tracked an rs500 road car for years with over 500bhp , Now that was a real hand full , so the real race cars seemed a doddle as they obviously have much better sus set ups etc , and slick tyres make it grip like f,,k , lol

saying that , in a real race for 20 mins i bet it would start to get a bit of a job to keep it pointing in the right direction , lol

It was a great day and one ill never forget .

Ive watched many a video of people driving the RS500 touring cars and you can see there arms fighting the steering wheel most of the time.

If people like the old touring cars I would reckonmend the silverstone classics show. There are loads there and its cool to see them race. I still love the mk2 mondeo touring cars.
