I echo Adrian's comments. I've never seen anything like it on the road, the spray when following my mate's Sprint R was horrific. He literally disappeared into the mist at 50 metres, not so good when following at 90mph Also, I will never forget in the first morning session leaving the high grip runway surface onto an access road and realising I had zero grip and was heading for the grass and a potential Richard Hammond type incident. Still don't know how I made the corner...

But the afternoon sessions more than made up for the morning's slip sliding. The last two sessions on the absolute limit were a blast. I really like airfield circuits for the high speed cornering.

Hopefully will be able to post a link to some vids. They were very relaxed this year and my pal had a camera in his car.

Big thanks to Gezza for helping with my gear linkage. Top man.

It wasn't so much the "disappearing" that worried me, more the rear of your car reappearing at 90mph! Looking back I'm glad I did it but wouldn't choose to do it again (the conditions, not the day). That taxi-way in the wet was a bit of a magical mystery tour.
