Might pop up and watch.
Probably would have given it a go but trying to preserve a clutch which is starting to go.

Looking at the entries, can't help thinking a 1L Ecoboost fiesta would be a great car for this! :-)

Wee heads up, the road to Knockhill has some pretty evil potholes on it.

This was brilliant fun. Thanks Dom for organising and putting out the course.

I think we were all a little surprised to be competitive, but it made for great inter team banter between runs. This format suits the Loti very well and maybe not so much the wee cars used to competing in autotests.

Would like to do more like this but maybe with less stones. :thumbsup :blackeye

I'm happy with 3rd overall and will look to do it again. /shakes fist at Mike

Wow, most of that was in 1st gear!
I think I would knacker my gearbox & over-rev the engine dropping from 2nd to 1st while on the move. Excellent control! :)
