Ah - thanks Nick thats cleared that one up - I was under the impression that all induction kits came with a sealed cold air supply. Its a wonder they sell so many of the open ones isnt it?

My Astra never did it either, but then I never put it on a track. This phenomenon can be really useful though, especially on a track when your tyres are close to giving up. A bit of oversteer can be damn useful when youre heading for the scenery in a wildly understeering Clio!
Hi Joe, its £79 (and you get a £20 voucher towards future events). Details at:

I test drove the CTR loads before buying the Clio - there was very little i it, certainly not that much!! Overall I reckoned I could get more fun out of the Clio hence the purchase. Still smiling!
Yes I got an email from the aforementioned Ed Moore - seems ok. Im thinking of the one at Heyford on 31st August (wife away on hen weekend woohoo!!). Alternative is a whole day at Palmersport on the GT course though - tough decision!
Thanks for the feedback.

Has anyone done one of these? The blurb says:
Heyford is a former US airforce base, closed in the early 1990s and now used largely for car storage.
