I had no idea that you have had it for so long, if it didn't win the show and shine, it's a crime

This is my first inside car video and its from our first trackday last friday. Very cold, but very much fun!
No spectacular racing action but lazy shifting track driving, testing brakes, the new full cage, race seat, new rear torsion bars and other rear suspension parts:

It's nice to get out egh! Brush off those winter blues and go dizzy on a track...sounds nice Wally... I'm gagging to get back out... only a few weeks to wait now, then Brands Hatch for the first round.

can't beat a mid thread barney all interesting stuff to read / watch, the are vids a real eye opener into performance bugs.

Hey if you want to see some bugs racing pop over to Brands Hatch on Saturday 27th March... suppose the other option is just to talk about it on here and post youtube nostalgia
(Bench racing is very popular on here don't ya know! - the competition is fierce and pundits very vocal - so you best make sure you have a competitive car in your vivid imagination! remember there are no classes or regulations online - just lots of hot air - so you best make sure your exotic virtual fan-belt arrangement is in good condition!! )


Just had details through for the Motorsport at the Palace on the final bank holiday weekend in May... lots of classes available to enter the Classic Sprint (For those that aren't familiar, a sprint is pretty much like a hill climb - without the hill!), and this is possibly the easiest, cheapest access to a form of competitive motorsport that involves corners! Cheap entry £120 (+£25 if you are not a member of the club) and a basic MSA license which is cheap and doesn't require a medical, ARDS course etc.. basically it's an apply-n-buy license from the MSA... anyhow... here's the link for competitor entries... would be great to see some of these other cars doing some form of competitive motorsport

Was looking to do this event, but am racing at Snetterton on the Saturday of this weekend.. and with the race at Mallory Park just a fortnight before.. I don't think my race funds will stretch to it realistically .. unless I get a sponsor on board that might like to see the bugs turn their wheels in anger at this event aswell...(I think this event is having television coverage so potentially a good and cheap exposure for sponsors - The Mallory Park Race is going to be Live televised )

Anyhow will be great to see some bugs at the Motorsport at the Palace event, think I'll be attending.. just a question over whether I'll be competing

[Simon_London]

Looks like there will be a few bugs entered into the Sprint now... any other takers?
