I just hope Vince regulates this series somehow...

I experienced very close car/car contact on a recent track day at Donny because the driver of a certain Buddy Club Integra, decided to forget about track day rules and attempt to undertake me on my right comming out of Old Hairpin whilst I was indicating to pull over to the right and let him past :shock:

I'm sure most have seen the accident of Simon Norris at Combe last weekend which makes Tim Cartledges Mallory incident look pretty tame...

There are rumours floating about that Prodrive are also interested in entering something for the series.

Will be interesting nonetheless 8) :thumleft:

Let's just say there will be a connection, but no direct Prodrive involvment.

Unfortunately, we can't really afford that option...

(Much as we love our MR2's, we have both an Impreza Turbo and Forester Turbo and have a big history with local Subaru clubs :wink: ).

pah, only rolled twice, amateur :lol:


First year is anything goes, the regs will be drafted from that for 2009. A lot of big names are interested though, so it could be a very big series :thumleft:
