I may have RS42 with some life left (but in a poor state). I will bring them up just in case you have a problem.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

And if there is a problem with the M3 i might bring out the big guns. The Astravan or Sprinter van. Anyone who has ever been on a motorway knows these are the fastest things on the road. Im sure it would be the same on track!! Not so sure knockers staff would be so happy about the obligatory sun on the dashboard though.

I believe that these things can have upwards of a million horsepower. This was told to me by the same young lad who put down his daily sport to tell me hewas at the last hot hatch day and saw, 'a new honda accord type R??????????? which could take duffus dip at 155mph'! :shock: I never knew honda would disguise its F1 car as an accord and then secretly test it at knockhills banger racing days

Another great SIDC day, credit once again to John for organising. Rain was on and off for much of the session which meant some driftastic slides at the hairpin, hopefully the trackside photographers will have got the one I heroically saved and not the one I ended up on the grass. Special thanks to Ronnie at Wheelsaround for help changing brake pads mid session as well as some new tyres at the end.

Managed a 45min stint on track at the end which included some fantastic close lapping with Clarkie and his new flame popping exhaust which was sounding rather nice. 8)

A good session, even though I was only there for half of it. Hopefully you will all be able to vouch for how well JJs car was driven :mrgreen:

Well run day as always as was the driving.
Enjoyed the first hour considerably more due to the total dry conditions and then was thrown (literally) when the rain came on.
Caught a couple of slappers (!) and then binned it in to the gravel just before Massintyres fully sideways in to the gravel as I put on some power on wet tarmac and ran out of talent. Experienced enough now to be able to rock it out.
Fark me the 340 has a lot of nooks & crannys for gravel.
