 Wexford Motor Club Autotest 15th Feb 2009 |
 |
Fantastic fun event. Lovely weather, nice fast tests, well organised and marshalled event. I haven't had as much fun autotesting in a while.. This event was great for beginners like myself in that it allowed more focus on the driving element rather than the majority of effort being concentrated on remembering the test.
Can't wait for the next Wexford Motor Club Autotest...
Well done to Damien for the overall win in his Mini. Great result for a Novice.

Brilliant fun yesterday allright! That was exactly the sort of event to get newcomers like myself excited about the sport. Smoothly run, very friendly marshals, no waiting bam bam bam and you were out again.
The little starlet was in flying form, it didn't put a step wrong all day.
Can't say the same for us!
..but we definitely got to work on improving our driving and the flow.
I learned a lot, looking forward to getting out again, although think the Fiat UNO season starts with 3 races close together so will have to earn some brownie points at home

Didnt really get to see much of you yesterday Piers, but that looks very tidy, circling the pylons is particulary impressive. Well done.

Thanks, but that's an embarrasing display.. Hitting the pylon and all... Circling the pylon looks OK.. Took a while to get the hang of that... Donal and myself improved a lot after stiffening up the front shocks...

It was nice talking to you yesterday Damian, we will defintley be back down for the next Wexford event in October/September.
Very family friendly place to watch too, well cordoned off but great viewing!
My sister lives 3 minutes down the road too, so will catch a feed up on the way back next time maybe
