I was there in my black 197 r27 in the Novice group, them 172s and 182 in the expert group were insane werent they!!

 

[bill]

The silver 172 was mental nothing come near it

would like to know a bit about them cars

The 2 black ph 1's and the silver ph2 are all running on Gaz coilovers(run's for cover I'm sure)Brembo HC's and are on EBC blues.
The silver one has had the PAS/ABS removed and all 3 are running camber bolts and some rear shims, lexan side windows and a stripped interior.
Running gear is standard on them all, except the silver one has a lightened flywheel.The blue cup is standard except for the back box.
And yes, we did have LOTS of fun

Action starts about 2mins in.Camera location isn't the best as it was one of those £10 keyring camera's so its potluck what you get, I hadn't realised that the reflection throught the screen would show the wiring that is left from the dash mutilation

Looks like a cracking day. Is aintree a good track?

The Merc was swapped for a 320hp scooby later in the day and was still getting passed by those pesky Clio's!

No, just trial and error at the moment, its good to have a couple of similar cars to play with as you can get more feedback quicker.
I'm looking to remove my PAS over the winter as the silver one which has already had this done offers an earlier warning of loss of traction. The only other change will be the removal of the botched up side pipe which is a little loud for something more pleasant on the ear.
