Even if it's something as ridiculous as this:
Yeh. Although thats probably better suited to the young/oldtimer festival!

That is a go-kart circuit.
But apparently you can go drifting there.

Silverstone and Brands are a bit big to have fun in unless you have a very fast car.

You can rent one
They have Astons and Ferraris. -

Yeah but they only need 2 corners to drift and they like narrow tracks so they can "run the wall" and have "clipping points".
Silverstone and Brands are a bit big to have fun in unless you have a very fast car.
Brands Indy is fine in a low powered car, Brands GP needs a faster car but there's only about 4 GP trackdays a year and they're very expensive.
You can rent one
They have Astons and Ferraris.I think V-L wants to drive his Mini and I don't think I could drive a rental on track. Those things have a ~£8000 excess.

When the rest of the field looks like this:
It is a bit ridiculous

When I was younger a friends dad bought one of these and threw a shed load of money at the engine, it was his pride and joy.
He went on holiday for 2 weeks, left it at the airport and never saw it again.
Was he surprised?
Remember a customer at Brooklyn Ford bought an RS500, I think had an early tracker fitted, and the car was found completely stripped in less than 30 hours, just the shell and the rear suspension beam.
Brooklyn Ford obtained the shell for one of their rally cars.

Will a mini get air on the mountain?

How about hillclimbs up Beckton alp?

Exactly! Pre-aero it was super-awesome.
Then that monster spoiler landed on the boot of the Alfa due to the production cars having a kit in the boot to raise the stock spoiler to eyebrow height and it all went to pot.Funnily enough, it didn't have that effect on DTM.

DTM was and is a silhouette formula though. Different kettle of fish.

I wonder if there was an event? I drove behind one in Lincolnshire today. It was on a trailer and looked well raced.

Does anyone have an ipod cassette adapter they don't want?
The Benz has an old school cassette player with a CD changer (and the changer adapter lead Kenwood sell doesn't work on this model). Might as well try the cheapest solution first. -

Dammit, I've worked out what the non-embed issue is.
If you follow a link from an embedded video you saw on a blog, but strip out the feature= etc, it doesn't work. If you click on the Youtube uploader's username then open the video again from their recent uploads, it shows a totally different URL that does embed on here.
