After watching the pick-ups at Brands Hatch over the week-end I'm happy to say that they have proved me wrong. They do know how to turn right :D . I watched them down though Paddock Hill Bend Bumper to bumper, door handle to door handle. Amazing driving, I don't think I've seen any series try three cars wide and two deep down through here.

Consider me converted, can we see more of these machines on road circuits soon? :champion:

Watch them on the oval. They are even more impressive.

Glad you enjoyed the pickups, Charlie! :cheese:

I have a gallery from last year's meeting at Snetterton that you might enjoy, as well as shedloads of oval action. From my vantage point down on the fenceline, they're the best act in the house - and by far the busiest!

P.S. The V8's are louder though, but the trucks are looser... ;)

And on YouTube which has become a complete waste of space lately, half the time it doesn't work, the other half it's damn slow. Hopefully the Google effect will kick in soon and it'll work as well as Google vid does/used to :rolleyes:
