Hi James, Yep, the rear end was a tad high largely due to the front end having settled down too much. The car had no set up time at all so ran as it was fitted, we could only perform small tweeks at the show, as we needed to use our time with rides rather than setting up.
The car will receive numerous changes for our next track session at Llandow in a few weeks time, then again at Snetterton.
The maroon trav is a less radical set up and has 130bhp less but has been track day'd for almost 10 years so its handling is pretty good, infact it was only 1 sec slower that the saloon. We'll compare the two again at the next outing.
:D

I'm sure someone has some as it was very popular not only due to the sound track. :D

Sorry, didn't look closely enough - they're on the A529 between the museum entrance and the rally field entrance.

As you said, nice pics

This is for all those that missed out on having a go and for those that didnt make the Rally.
Many thanks for posting these vids. Is great to see the cars from outside rather than from the drivers seat. Does anyone have any more?

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

C'mon James! We all want to see this new project started. :wink:

I'd be interested in seeing a few snaps of me piloting the lowlight too.

Handled superbly and must've sounded fantastic due to the fact I never needed to change out of second gear (Small track!) my god is the car torquey!

Gotta be someone who snapped it.
