That escort knocked when it was started up, on idle, Few laps on track and it was off to the side, Anybody know what happend?
The van?
I only saw it do about three laps then it was back in the paddock, sounded like a gearbox fault when they were putting it back on the trailer, like bits of metal rattling around.

The two blokes with the van were saying iy developed a vibration down the main straight, so I guess it was 'box, prop or diff failure.

Robin I must have been sat on the bank with you

The MG reyland car sounded and looked very impressive.
Clio looked quick, dont get why they trailored it though as it still had a full interior and everything

I was sat by the hairpin and it was A LOT faster away from there and around Devil's Elbow.
at the start the clio went, the i learn the track and we caught up with it end of session unless there was 2, but it had omex sticker on the back and r888
