I took note last year Rob this year I think most will be on slicks so the first 2 laps in expert should be crap

I'm considering it - I'm not an expert by any means, just will be fun trying to keep up with some proper cars

Last year I managed to do 75 odd miles without being overtaken in the intermediates, so I guess I'm ready to step up and be humiliated

See you all there

I think you'll find that if you don't get signed on early on then you'll get shoved in whatever spaces are left. I got stuck in expert a few years back in my saff when it was standard! Never passed a single thing

Doesn't really matter,sometimes your better off with faster cars cos once you've let a group go past you've got plenty of room to fuck about on your own and get used to things...just watch your mirrors,a lot.

I'm out on Saturday BTW. If i can fit in any passenger rides i'll be happy to.
