Next in the Scottish Sprint/Hillclimb championship is the great Fintray track.

This is a very short, but VERY technical track.
Getting a corner less than spot-on means a ruined run, so it is complete focus from start to finish.

The RX-8 will be out again, still mainly plain livery but carrying "FlatOut Photography" stickers. John has already taken a few good shots of the \'8 in anger and hoping for more from Fintray.

Lat year Fintray was difficult as running on ordinary road tyres ( that I\'d just driven the 300 miles to get there on :) ). This time will be on the Kumho race rubber.

Unlike Ingliston, Fintray IS a spectator event and does afford fantastic views from the start all the way up to the last corner.

So, a great day out to show support for Mazda ( I am now confirmed the ONLY Mazda and ONLY rotary in the event ).

Hope to see some loons and quines come along for a chat !!

Last year .....

Quiet :)

IF anyone is thinking of coming, can you bring an extra big brolly to keep me dry ?

Looks like we\'re in for a wet session which is gonna be fun on the race rubber .... didn\'t invest in full wets :(
