Default quattro at Oulton

I decided to get the car out and give it a thrash and test the new suspension settings on Saturday.


The castor setting seems to have worked, but the suspension is still a bit hard I think, needs to be a bit softer on the front, so you can 'rock it' and upset the back end to provoke the slide.
A good full day of fun, but I've learned never to let a racing driver have a go in my car again, no matter how famous he is.

Yes, get your coat indeed.

Some of us have a go, and others refuse to go out (I'll mention no names)

After those two 'parade' laps on the Rally circuit the other year my hand would go up faster than sh*t through a Goose for another play on that. That's not Chris's 200 20vt Treser is it I spy???

MSV have started to do drift days on the rally circuit once in a while, It crossed my mind to have a word to see if they would do a quattro only day, but I would need to know numbers. It WOULD have to be run by them, as they are quite strict on there rule book.
