Do you mean the mega wide ride or the mega banked corner though?

How about the same wall ride as the UK-MicroX? It looked awesome in the videos and pics.

that stuff takes ages to build tho, not easy to put together for a club night and still get lots of track time.
Shame cos it was awesome!

Yep...what Pete said...MicroX Wallride was a BIG setup job that we can't repeat for club nights...pity cos it as awesome!

But not actually as awesome as the big banked corner IMO!

As i see it, one of three things will happen -

1) Car donuts everywhere.

2) Speedo blows up.

3) It achieves Earth Escape Velocity and i have to race against the Moon Rovers

I suspect that 1) will happen shortly followed by 2)
the resultant fire will then trigger 3) !!!

OH.MY.GOOD.GOD !!!

Just taken the car for a test outside with the new 90c Orions... i thought, ' this is strange, car isnt much faster than before.... ' until i realised its wheelspinning even at top speed.... I got a 100 meter private tarmac road outside, and i reckoned it took 50 meters of that before it actually found decent grip...

Its Ballistic. I reckon it will be weeks until i get used to it.... if ever

Fun though

I'll hopefully be down at about 7.30 ish.

I'll bring my car down but I'll also bring the one I have for sale down too.

If I can help in any way at all just let me know... And if anyone wants me to drive for them, then let me know too! Hehe.
