Day 0 – Prologue – Wednesday
The Prologue is to determine the starting order for the competitive stages of the event. It was run on part of the old GP circuit. It was very slippery even though it was dry and 37˚. We did a 2.22. Beat our main competition (Curnick/Winter #416 2.7 RS replica “the girls”) by a second. Also beat Eric Bana (Black Hawk Down, Hulk etc) in his 944 by a few 10ths and we end up starting right behind him. Attached image(s) ![]() |

Day 4 – Sunday
Pretty much a repeat of Saturday, although we take the first stage gently after about 1km into it the Dog gets a serious front end vibration. Transpires that it has shed some wheel weights so we ignore it for the rest of the day. Managed to rotate it on Piccadilly and scare Becko a bit. Came out of a series of sweeping downhill corners at the top of 3rd (about 130kmh) and coming out of the last one the back steps out, had 2 or 3 goes at catching it but she just went round. Didn’t hit anything, but it made me a bit more careful for the rest of the day. All in all a great event but I wish I hadn’t missed most of day 2. But as they say that’s motorsport. PS The Girls did manage to get the engine in their car running after putting a replacement head on it but it was sick so they parked it for the weekend and went out and drowned their sorrows a couple of times.
