Are skidmarks not inevitable when doing an autotest? How do you handbrake turn and not leave black marks?

Sounds like you had fun anyway, at least you went out in style :lol:

Sounds like a real shame. It sounds like he was being very precious about his tarmac. Sliding small light cars around really does not harm the surface. There are many venues I have seen being used heavily over the years, will no adverse effect from autotesting.

Oh well, good effort for giving it a go.

See the meets section for the next autotest at Johnstone, bring the westie along & give it go.

Dont really understand how you could expect to do an Autotest and not wheel spin on your first few attempts!!
