    Well, Rockingham has come and gone for ever. I had five sessions which is the most for a long time. The car was great but the track was lethal in the morning with some bends very greasy and positively dangerous. A lot of free grass cutting took place by several drivers. However as midday...

    Hi, well, ADI was the first drive for me in the "new car". I was a little aprehensive regarding driving such a "machine" but my concerns did not materialise. The handling was perfect. No understeer, no oversteer, no brake lockups even when I braked far to late for Camp. So Nicholas said. (I...
