Lets hope its dry as theres not a great deal of run off if you make an arse of it. Still, theres more than the ring, so 'lucky' Robin should be ok :lol:

Fcuking blinding track - for grown-ups only, but all the better for it. Had more fun and adrenaline at Cadwell than at the previous 5 KH sessions put together.

Would be there in an instant, if the cashflow and time would let me.

Craig and I would like to make it, but not sure if our cars will be back on the road by then.

Yup - plus overnight, plus beer, plus actually finding the time to get the frigging car working again! :lol:

Have fun won't you? Don't go crashing now :wink: :D

ah but I have a secret weapon.

The new rear subframe may mean that the rear wheels point in the right direction.

Ask Robin what he thought when he took mine out for two laps, then came back in saying that he was not ready to die yet...........

there he is, and I'd venture you could do a lot worse than follow some of his lines!

Whilst not getting to childish <BG> ask him what he thought of my car when he drove it.

Your car was tricky to drive as it was very keen to oversteer - I should have spent more time getting used to it before venturing out at the ring ;-)

Tut's car had/has variable geometry that causes the car to steer as you come on/off the throttle. That's just dangerous and no amount of getting used to it would make me feel any different about driving it :-)

Cheers,
Robin
