Club racing doesn't get much closer or better than this.

Thanks to Datsundes (bigpower.co.uk) for the video

Great footage - lots of people being fiercely competitive whilst being incredibly careful not to trash their cars - proper budget racing.  Really want to get into it, just don't have the cash just yet!

I see my old car (Kev Glover No 12) was a DNF, hope the car and Kev are OK.

DH me and Mark are going to watch the last round at Brands on the 25th October. THere's also the VAG Trophy on the same day. You up for coming along?

Not sure - got a house sale and move in the offing, so I'm struggling to commit to anything at the moment.... once that's done I'll be back on the IOW.... not sure how that's at all better....

[Horney]

Well I'll hassle you nearer the time and see if you can make it.

I think Kev's car is ok. From what I understand the rad moved after a light bump on the front end, caused a short and cut the power.

That's good and bad news I suppose.

What is the racing like, very close are the cars all the same basically just down to the driver?

Two classes - 8V and (guess what) 16V.

Stock motors, but with a 'control' camshaft/s and control tyres, so yes, it's all about the drivers.  I'd do terribly

was a good series to watch, it was on motors tv yesterday from Snetterton
