yer but they will drive your car!

atleast you can see if you can go any faster,

and then get them to sit next to you and take them round to give you some pointers,

this is what i am going to do, with one of my cars ,

can you imagine getting help with your driving from one of these top guys,

they may be a chance to get one to take you for a couple of laps later in the day in one of my car, but it will all be down to time.

Will they be able to stop themselves bumping each other off and rubbing bumpers and door strips though

Top organisation, can't wait to see it all.

PS: Any other passenger rides going Thought I'd ask early

the show is only sunday as saturday is just track day,

the touring cars will be on show and pics ect and then on and off track during the day, with a specail 20 minute session just for them,

with sundays no noice limit we can run these cars as they raced and the sound is amazing,

with the very strict noice regs most tracks have been forced to use,

its very rare to be even able to run these machines,

the club like last year, have paid extra to have the noicey day,

the way donnington get over this is to have our sunday as an offical race day on there calander,

Lee,
Let's club together to put up some prize money for the fastest lap, just to ensure the red mist comes back for entertainment value .

Well done Martin, from little acorns and all that - I remember when you first just wanted to re-unite your car with Tim Harvey and now look where you're at !

This is gona be properly exciting!

How cool is that though - 9 RS500 touring cars there on the day, and Martin - you OWN three of them!

Tim Harvey is one of my all time favourite drivers, so will be looking forward to seeing him thrash that car round

Mike, no need for the prize money.....there are some scores to settle there

If you recall one of those RS500/driver combinations had the lowest budget (owner/driver used to turn up with car on a trailer and no motorhomes etc) yet that car was a LOT faster than the others..........anyone guess (or know) who it was, and why that car had about 50 BHP more than the "works" teams?
