Chris,

There only short Circuits, I was worried about Folembray as there`s plenty of trees but i really enjoyed it although certain parts i didn`t go flat out. Still haven`t got my head around tyre pressure as i was getting plenty of understeer at one of the sharp hairpins :twisted: The left front tyre took a right battering as thats the one which was under the most load.

Abbeville was ok but it`s a very tight circuit and u don`t get out of 2nd gear much and not really suited to the M100 plenty of understeer and tyre squeeling. They compare it to Bedford but for me bedford is slightly better cause there`s faster corners.

Here`s a link to the photo`s Martin (Texas) had taken

Good to hear u had a good day at Goodwood (any footage?) next year hope to do a few tracks down south ie Brands etc

no footage i'm afraid. took all the kit but they were quite strict about loose objects in the car. Having said that i could have put the roof up and they probably wouldn't have noticed.

Monty, in my opinion Goodwood was made for the M100. If you ever get a chance you must try it. Very fast corners which were great if you got them absolutely right. We had great weather as did you by the looks of things.

Watched the footage of your run at Flombray and it did seem short but some good corners on it.
