Had a great day at this on saturday.

I shared my car with Jon Flan for the event and we had a good time taking the public around. A driveshaft broke early on in the day (in the wet!!!) so no doubt this had been going to a while. We changed the shaft and where out again in the next session.

25 psi + 550 kg mini + wet track = lots of sliding!

It put my traction control to a good test, which was working very very well, with it off the car was just crazy.

I did have a few moments, but kept it on the black stuff, Jon also ended up pointing the wrong way at one point.

all good fun, and around 50L of petrol used so got plenty of hot laps in.

Also got to lend foxy Rachel Davies some cable ties, although I think she used it as an excuse to come over to talk to me *wink*
