Don't suppose somebody snagged that so we can put it up someplace else? It was pulled for being too long. angry smiley

(If it's yours, Max, can you put it up on a Cloud Drive or something? I'd love to check it out.)

What are the rules/protocols re: passing and speed? It seemed like most of the cars were content at 50-60 MPH, while you had a few sprints where it looked like you were up close to 100 (keeping closer to 70 most of the time). Everything seemed pretty mellow, while it did appear that overtaking was definitely OK.

Can't pass with more than a 5-10 MPH speed differential?

Hi Scott, There didn't seem to be any rules other than then obvious one of treating other cars/drivers with respect and not risking an accident. They release cars in what seemed like groups of around 100, so just the congestion keeps the speed down a lot of the time. The circuit was fully marshalled, so I figured if they thought I was going too fast they would tell me!
It wasn't like a track day though, just a bunch of guys having fun in their cars and taking the opportunity to drive a classic track on raceday.
Cheers
Max

Yeah, surprising number of Massey Ferguson sports cars. Would have been nice if the organizers would have mixed the marques up a bit more.
