I'm there :D and just to keep you guys interested, I'll be running at a different time from Fd.

I'm confident that Fd will walk off with another class win this weekend :wink: and fully expect to see him crack the 47 second barrier in what could be his last outing in the Tango as we know it!

If you are planning on coming along PM me or Fd as there's an entry charge but as drivers we get a limited number of free passes.

Forecast looking good too. Best of luck guys. I have mucho respect to anyone who races their car up the Doune hill - the lower half between the armco looks deeply scary, especially given the lack of side protection on a Caterham. Must be a real buzz and definitely on my list of things I want to try some day.

Interesting comments from someone who chucks themselves out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft for fun :D

Maybe the 2 sports are not that dissimilar - a lot of hanging about for a few 50 second hits of adrenalin :D

It's practice on Saturday and timed on Sunday.

Will run approx. from 09.30 till around 4 on Saturday and perhaps slightly earlier on the Sunday
