Plenty of time to plan etc.8-10 cars. It worked out cheaper last time and we got to use the skid pan as a "warm down".One of those courses was sooo hard to remember and shame the handbrake turns dont work like they do on the wrx's..

Maybe 5 or 6 at best but gaps easily filled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that strip the teeth if you ripped it up at speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also told my a mate not to pull up the handbrake while driving as it will catch on these teeth.I tried to look under the car just then with a torch but its too friggin low to see anything at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
