I was there, and tried to see The Peril in action. Unfortunately due to family pressures I only had a couple of hours to watch the racing. From my lofty vantage point up on Marine Parade I couln't see any Volvos until I spotted this

It was a great day and the place was packed. I hope you got a good result.

Hi all had a great day at Brighton there was a fantastic range of cars and bikes of all types and ages having a go the weather was fine a bit too hot for us turbo cars !!

My first launch did not go well I have had so little time to do some decent practice
I was to busy messing around with my anti lag the first time was 15.77 rather slow !!

I waited for another run and then improved my time to 13.83 which was better but a much better time is in the car I thought I would have been having another go but in the class I was in you only do a practice and one run I really enjoyed my day but will be back again for more runs I feel a trip to Santa pod coming on to try a proper surface a few pics from the day :





I managed to sneek a pic with my neighbour with a loverly yellow Carrera GT he told me he had to have a new rear silencer last year it cost 5 K !!!!!!! Loverly car though !













I must thank all our loyal customers that made the trip down to come and support the RT team the car had lots of attention all day and I even had a TV interview from a very nice lady who loved the car as much as me I think, I must thank Andy and James for the Built by RT Mechanics sticker a very kind thought which the Peril now wears with pride :



So a great day all round I got to drive our loan car home so went from 468 hp to 170 as it was high time my bro had a decent drive the 50 odd miles back to RT HQ which he rather enjoyed The peril did not miss a beat all day even though the bonnet was up I had not one problem in my class there were 62 cars I came 15 th so was happy with that .

Many thanks to Brighton and Hove motor club for such a great day i will be back
