Default Damn it - rain, standing water, RWD, grass

So there I was on Saturday, hoping to enjoy myself at the Le Mans Endurance Race series, when a little trouble struck...

The combination of lots of rain, huge amounts of standing water, RWD drive, huge bhp, and grass led me experience something I'd not seen since I smashed up my S2000 those years ago.










The Racing For Holland Dome, only made one lap. The weather got progressively worse, there was lots safety car action, the race was almost called off 3.5hrs in, but in the end the always wonderful Audi R8, beat the UK Creation Autosportif, Rollcentre Racing and Lister teams.

Still Spa was colder and wetter, which was some consolation.

A bit of T-cut will sort that out no problem. If not my mate down the pub knows a thing or two about fixing motors.

Isn't 240 bhp a 'huge' amount of power for a NA 2 litre engine ?

Hugh Grant? Is this some new cockney phrase I've not come across before?


I figured it out from the title Rich - funnily enough
