Autotesting

Just thought you might like this vid.. Built an autotest car a few months ago and am having lots of fun trying to get to grips with it.. Very, very challenging.. Here's a clip of the car in action from last weekend...

Hi Piers,

That looks fun.

Last Saturday I was dancing the night away in downtown Chicago celebrating my best male friend's 50th Birthday Party and it looks like you guys were dancing around the poles on Nov 1st too.....

Your car sounds very much like my Motobuild modified Rover Metro GTI 16v SPI to me that I have used as Course Car with the 750 Motor Club.

How's the MX 6 doing these days?

Nite

Morning Piers

Hiya,

Yes this very different type of motorsport is fun.

I have seen it at Brooklands which is close by.

Anyway, glad that you are OK.

Take care and have a great Christmas and wonderful New Year.

I was saying to my ex-John yesterday ( who I expect that you remember is an MSA Clerk of the Course ) that I will be going to more UK Race Meetings next year like the Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed. I still apply and receive my annual MSA Licence so I should use it.

I am getting withdrawal symptoms from not smelling burning oil and tyres ......

Have a good one.

Paula

Thanks Paula... Have a good Christmas yourself... I've gone a little mad with the Motorsport thing , but have held off doing Rallycross this winter as I did so much damage last year... Not over yet though....
Here's a clip you may enjoy.. We were messing about with an R8 during our last autotest testing session...
