Fiat Coupe 20vt
Today was the inaugural holding of this event, at Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire, the organisers are trying to promote it as a Festival of Speed for the North, and the commentators did mention this a lot today, even saying they felt it would be preferable to the FoS because of a wider local audience.

In my humble opinion it's an event with an awful lot of potential, but at the moment for me personally it's got a lot to do before i'd call it an FoS-esque event.
The weather was appalling for most of the day, but here's a fair few of my pics.
The only significant crash of the day, despite the weather, resulted in this;
Not a brilliant pic as i was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he span his Porsche 917 at the 1st corner on the course, ploughed into the hay bales, and tore most of the front off. Luckily looked like mainly cosmetic damage, and understandably the gentleman owner looked quite distraught afterwards.
