I've only done the little one there.

I'd rather do Cadwell again to be honest.

But I can't compare the GP circuit as I've not done it, yet

Brands GP is a fantasic course - loads of positive camber and some huge gradient changes.

It's scary if you come off on the back of the circuit, as you're more than likely to hit something. It reminded me a lot of some parts of the Nurburgring actually!

Spoke to Andy today, that was him, rod through the block. Made quite a mess apparently

That's 2 newly fettled k-series I've got a connection with that have gone bang, and they say these things come in 3s

No idea yet, the post-mortem is later this week.

He had some quite fancy bits in there so it could be expensive
