did anyone go to today's qualifier ? and is anyone going tomorrow, I will be posting photos after Ive processed them :) there were some stunning cars out today !


tried to get in to just behind the barrier but I wasnt allowed due to lack there of press pass, but I was told apply for two weeks before and it should be easy enough :)

can't tell you much about the event. But the car... thats Jon beezy and his jap import FC running a hybrid FC/FD engine with a bridgeport, a nice turbo and a v-mount intercooler. Putting down about 400bhp i believe, the car's been out of the game for about a year, back in style


FC LOVE :D
 
most of the good stuff apprently is in the mornin but either way have a peak, we got in today (we showed up at 2:30) and only had an hour and a half left, got in for half price which was pretty nice of them !!! the cars are emense either way if your a petrol head and love the screeching of tyres its worth a full day or £10 if your there all day !!

oh fastest drift car they had was like 600bhp+ im still waiting to do a load of photos atm (having to re-import EVERY PHOTO IVE EVER taken, thanks to a misshap on my end so once thats done Ill get round to processing these bad boys)
 




heres one I just loaded into photoshop, I took about 300 and lightroom is going crazy with re-importing everything (from my previous problem of losing and forgetting which backups which etc anyways) so heres a taster, was soo gutted I couldnt get a media pass!

It was completely balls today, not worth the £10 I paid to get in. Knowlesly, you must have been standing not more than 20 yards away from me. That E30 was the best car of the day, it seemed so well set up.

To others; I wouldn't bother looking down to be honest. The course was far to simple, the cars too few and the entertainment too poor. Spend the afternoon watching the GP instead. Also, it was flippin' freezin' today, so if you do feel the need to go, take a warm coat.
 
Cheers for the warning Neil, my mate was going to go tomorrow with 2 kids and his wife, i'll let him know.

edit:Just read what knowlesy wrote, not sure if I should mention it now

I didn't have a camera with me today, I was just standing there in a hoody shivering like a chump. Today was meant to be the qualifying, but not even 32 cars entered so everyone qualified and it just turned into a practise session.
