So I went to it again this year for the bargain price of £99, it was another top day, it was even better than last time, the track was used in full I think it was config 4., it added two long straights and hairpin and a chicane which made for great driving, the sun was out all day was really hot and they had plenty of drinks and places to hide in the shade.
Driving around the track was as much fun as last time but better with the extra track but the other activities where a lot of fun and better organized. 2 people spun the car in the morning session on there very first laps tut tut.
They had a 2x slalom course and 2x reverse and sprint run, the reverse and sprint run was good fun, you had to going in between 2 cones then around a coned box turn into it reverse out then sprint to a cone and do a 360 around it.
They also had Paul Swift who is the stunt driver, he was there last year and is a top bloke and he said his dad (Russ Swift) is the famous bloke for always parking the minis in tight spots and he was doing 2 wheeled rides till he dropped the car down hard and broke the prop shaft, so then he was giving rides of him doing forward and reverse handbrake turns while going in between a parked Astra and the ramp. They also had a final between the 2 fastest times
Took some pics and vids, filmed Paul Swift breaking the astra it was an awful sound and really loud.

2 Wheels just before he broke the car
showing off at the end of the day
Tasty Nuremberg addition shame you couldnt drive it.
