Hence the bump :wink: ive watched far too many videos of people enjoying themselves and really need to go out there and give the car a good thrashing! Be a good opportunity for people to see what their cars will actually do (if its dry we could have a who can understeer first competition lol) put 340s against 360s etc to see any difference in handling,
cheers

Perhaps a field? Could be a bit more slippery :) If anyone knows anyone who wouldn't mind the grass being ripped up :D

I think a field would be a lot of fun but a tarmac/concrete area would be much better!!!

I like the sound of this.......I do know of an old airfiled near me, it used to be used for various things, but I don't know what the surface is like, i.e. if it's knackered and over grown now. I'll look into it sometime.
