I wish I did!

Its not my bag, not a fan of MG's, but I really appreciate the engineering behind it.

Its built at Chris Isaacs Race cars who you have probably heard of from your drag racing days.. they are a clever bunch of guys there.

I do get my inspiration from this build tho.

Im reaaallllyyyyyy confused over this commentator.

Why does he pronounce "Druid" as in Druids corner which should be pronounced as
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Druid

Instead he is pronouncing it as "Dru-eee-dee"

Am I missing something??, Am I wrong? is it a colloquial thing and that's how it should be said?

I know its trivial, but its really screwing with my OCD, its bad enough them calling you Hansford, ( I've heard haynsforth before now)

You should get Jon to knock up some stickers to go on the boot lid that says......

..... "The "Y" is NOT silent!!!

[Jamie R]

just heard something from the commentator......

Maybe coz its an Italian event, has this corner been pronounced Dru-eee-dee from our friends in the boot shaped country??

I still think I can get the car cornering quicker 

I like outside pictures as it shows me what the car is doing.

I know Paddock hill is one pig of a corner and many deem it the most difficult corner on UK race tracks, but  if you look at the pictures below, its still too soft on entry  (keep the answers clean )as you will see the initial lean, not too bad further down the hill looking at the wheel arches though.

Over the winter I will up the spring rates all round to see if we can gain some more corner speed. 

Jamie I  have been called worse than  haynsforth , indeed I have been told to goforth on more than one occasion ( you know the rest of that sentence  )
