Great series Jon. That first shot is AWESOME! :)

[BALDY]

Great set, car looks a mess (needs 2 new rear quarters and a re spray)

BALDY.

[jon.s]

Cheers all.

Baldy, Rear quarters are a bit off putting on the test car ;-) They are plastic coverings taped on to protect the doors during the test. Saves them a few quid or should that be thousand in doors. If you look on the event itself they will be carbon fibre versions

Car was fine after the test just needs a new front splitter as it was rough there.

That's a very nice set of photos, particulary considering it was muddy and gloomy. I like them all. Well done.
