To be honest it was ok but the crowd there were mental. LOTS of trailered bangers and some puma and kit car drivers almost seemed happy to trade paint. One puma ended up on it's roof while another smashed it's tailgate in glass all over the track. Then a 106 Rallye smashed into the back of a kit car. My car ran poorly too to be honest, the power was fine but my abs was kicking in constantly (about the third corner!!!) and I didn't really know if my brakes were going to stop me. Looking here it seems because my front 16's run lower profile than normal, it's at about 96% circumference which makes the abs produce false readings and cut in all the time. The notches and pulsing through the pedal was ridiculous. Chatting to smiley on here I think the next step will be to put a switch into the abs to turn it off on track. There was nothing quicker than me in terms of power but I was braking miles early so wasn't very fast. Disappointing.

I did put a post in the thread, bit too far North for me this time.  Loving your wheels by the way. What dimensions are they then?

Last year I spent 2 or 3 days enjoying that road, even at normal speed the views are staggering and every corner there is a new one.

Yes, I think it was on the A4069 between Llangadog & Llandovery, it was there in June when I came on my 1st trip & it looked like its

been there for some time. So many great roads.  which roads did you go on ?

Yes, that's the one. Bin stood there for years. The top of the 4069 is only 20 mins from my place so it's a nice hour out on a Sunday for me.   rallly
