Loughborough Autotest

Sounds great fun!

1st and 2nd  (and reverse) gear so no high-speed offs, whilst driving on grass will make for challenging conditions.

Will make a complete change from the silky smooth (and sticky) tarmac of Silverstone the day before.

COUNT ME IN!!!

Is a passenger compulsary?

 I believe so, Robbie, although I’ve no idea why that should be.  Helmets are not necessary though.

 Well am down for the 1-2 pm slot for my sins. Never done one of these before and have no sense of direction. Will a compass out of my christmas cracker help??? I get knackered getting off Tesco car park when it’s empty!!

No fear of winning but should interesting trying to keep the car in a straight line at any time...

My Fiancee would be the passenger and thus navigator…which doesn’t fill me with confidence Stick Tongue Out

 Well we had a RIGHT blast on the field and did a best of 1min 5sec, 2nd and 3rd run I drove like a spanner on acid. Fabulous fun. I want more!!!

Thanks to the organisers for putting this one on. Best £5 I’ve spent in a while!!
