Sounds like they're taking us seriously even if we're not, still it does make you feel like we're actually getting somewhere doesn't it?

Is that the same venue that we've been to before, Martin? I quite fancy taking the Spit down there for this one...

Does one have to have any special safety features for this type of event roll cage etc, or is it standard, well sort of standard cars.
And how do you enter?
