Yeah, the rally prepped Evos/Imprezas etc are sick. Always amazes me what a good driver can do with one in conditions that are far worse than on the wet road, I would not even go 1 tenth of that with my car in the wet

Were you ever on the figure of 8 when he was just coming back from taking someone on the stage? All you hear is this thundering noise from the exhaust and then you look behind and just see this blue blur fly past you...
Almost crapped myself
I did a rally day here back when I was 21. No Scooby then though.
2 x mk1/2 escorts for training, one mk3/4 escort with 160BHP that he takes you out in and then the Sierra Cosworth that you drive round in.
He took my missus out and half way down the escort decided to die, so he popped home to fetch his own escort to take her out in. believe he said it had 500bhp+ in it. I also remember him coming down the bank, over the figure of 8, handbraking it, doing a 180 straight in to the garage by the toilets. Great day, although being taken out by him and then driving yourself = bad

Looked like a great day and a good way to learn some car control.
Escorts make anyone look like a hero really, they are so easy to get and hold sideways, not least with tyres that are somewhat less grippy than a normal stage tyre. It is great fun and after a couple of laps you are going from lock to lock without to much trouble.
