yep. did it when i was restricted. was great fun, it's really wide and most corners are fairly fast so plenty of corner speed can be carried and it's where i first got my kd. my favourite track so far. which is why i'm itching to go back unrestricted and use the blade as well

Which organiser were you with before??? I just emailed focused events and they don't allow restricted folk on...

that is absolute crap . is it worth a phone call to them? you might get a more favourable resonse if you sound sensible and say you've done 4 or 5 td's before i did it with hottrax.

I might try again in a month or so depending on my money situation and how much i've worked...

The GP circuit is probably quite a dodgy one for the SV anyway. I got beaten up on the straights at Rockingham National and hanager straight is about twice as long...

i had people blasting past me on the main straights, but that made it all the more satisfying when you duffed 'em up on the corners
