I just came back from this and wow, what a lot of shiny cars.
HOWEVER - no BMWs competing. None!
What a crying shame :(

RWD is a tough class with all those supras and RWD Skylines (eh? never heard of that before today) but surely some engine transplanted monster would be able to put down some decent times on the strip - and probably outhandle those heavy jap cars?

Anyway, if you get the chance to go next year I'd take it. Its a blast!

Dunno about the GTS Skyline as far as handling goes, heavy or not the AWD GTR would be one tough cookie to beat in terms of handling.

Cant wait :)
I'll be there next year to cheer you on!

Beemerlad, you should stick some up to get people interested. Its a pretty big event and I'm sure we could get some competitive members excited about it. I'm sure the M3 owners would like to show how good their handling really is ;)

If you cba hosting send em to me and I'll stick them up!

i went into edit and then process multiple images.
Problem I have now is there seem to be 2 lots of pics in different folders with the same file name as there was a load of pics taken by the missus in the morning, then uploaded, card on camera erased then i went and took these, so having to rename them all first. Just realised how many I have taken of that granada :-x
