yeah they were going something like this
1.24 (warmup lap)
1.22 (clear lap tyres still cold)
1.26 (spinout infront of me)
1.24 (same car spins out in front of me again)
1.21 (clear lap)
1.24 (same car spins out in front of me again)
1.22 (minor traffic)
(by this time the crappy silverstones were working about as well as dunlop volleys on an ice rink)
the problem wasn't the spint outs it was the dust ... cause its so dry out in the country there is NO grass and i'd basically be travelling into this hgue ball of dust wondering where the car infront of me is / was / going to be ... and where the cars behind me are going and what they are doing.... luckily i managed to stay away from everything.
who was the spinout god??? the purple ford escort with a huge turbo and who knows what else in it.....

can't believe that S14 won the drift comp... it spent more time in circles than around the track sideways!

You never know, that daewoo could have been one of those Speedy Wheels cup cars, the daewoo one make series cars. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, in any case if it was thats probably not something to be too dissappointed at.

yerrr I'm quite sure they are because we saw a couple of them parked nearby the pits as we drove out of the track...
i would love to have brocky, jim richards, skaifey or even just ian luff to take a hot lap in my car and see what sorta times they can achieve LoL...
