Spent the day on a chicane which breaks up the longest straight. The morning was wet and exceedingly windy…



The weather brightened up in the afternoon…



With the direction reversed, there was standing water right in the braking zone for the chicane, meaning the obstacle was smashed up and re-built on a couple of occasions - plus we lost a few cones through the day… most of which were deposited at the next corner. We also collected two wing mirror covers, a separate mirror and two side indicator covers - and a whole Citroën C2 that ploughed straight into the pallets that made up the chicane.

It was a brilliant day and great people. The Alfa 33 in the second video didn’t sound much like an Alfa… I chatted to the co-driver at lunchtime and it’s basically Subaru Impreza power and drive train with Italian styling. A lot of work, but looked very special.

There were loads of Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts, some of which were very quick - plus a pair of superbly-prepared 205 GTis that were mixing it with the modern Rally-spec 4WD Fiestas, Subarus and the winning Lancer Evo VI.
