Im with car 8 a Blue Scooby belonging to MEF off here



Tim fancy you learning how to post pictures - I had 2 co-drivers on standby for you by the way

Here's Tim and Markk taken by me earlier in the year



Radders, Im servicing for Martin, but will be taking the camera

The Audi should be this one





It did a few demonstration laps 2 years aga at the hands of Malcolm Wilson, but was banned from competing because of its Aluminium cage. I believe it now has a more modern steel one fitted and will be allowed to compete. The sound from it is just pure AWESOME

Until the last competitor has finished the last stage - usually around 5-30pm so the last few stages are in the dark. The sight of the high powered spotlights flashing around the circuit at night is magic

Its a sealed surface event so will be tarmac and the old loose runway only.

Last years stage map given to competitors looked like this.....



Try following the red line from the start - to the finish getting all the splits and chicanes correct, then put yourself in a vehicle being chucked round at speed and imagine it.

In fact a mate has a video from his nova taken last year - I will see if I can find it

What time should i get there if i want a decent spot?

i went over when the touring cars were on, and stood in the hairpin, but i doubt they will let us stand there for this event.

I believe spectator viewing has been slightly more restricted this year than in previous years, so arrive early to avoid any dissapointment.

I'll probably have my PF coat on, so if you get into the service area be sure to come over and say hi to both Tim and me

I was kidnapped and taken to the place in the back of a van

Didn't have a clue where I was until I read it in the programme.

They are all the same to me

bloody hell tim did you post that pic ?

got to say i do love this car, having been lucky enough to be in it on a competetive stage and to get my first 2nd overall, it is a proper weapon in disguise. looks just like any other escort cosworth from the outside, but has so many trick bits on it you wouldnt believe. good luck mate - im sure you'll do well, try and upset a few of the 'christmas regulars'
