UK Open 2011

First comp for me, will be an over 200 mile drive for my mum :p
Anything I need to know beforehand apart from the rules etc?
Also, anyone want to buy an Eastsheen 5x5 and a LunHui 3x3?
 
We can't afford another night in the hotel It's far too much. I'm used to long journeys anyway, we have drove to Glasgow at least a hundred times and we drove to Paris last summer. Plus I can just practice on the coach to kill the time.

Oh you lucky bugger!
Go karting is so damn expensive... I have reluctantly given up on the dream and hope to be an Aeronatical Engineer :D
 
I'm not actually driving it but we are setting it up. We are only allowed to drive it if the track is empty and we aren't busy and since there is a race there the following day it will be packed. Still though setting up a race car can be fun.

I've been karting a few times but as you say it's too expensive. I just race on my simulator instead, much cheaper :p

Ah, I suck at setting up cars, as proven with games like GT5.
I just end up driving around with a car at default :fp
I need more time than necessary to set it up.

You have a simulator :eek:

Yep I use Rfactor. I have a test video on my youtube somewhere. The quality isn't great but the physics are great hence why red bull use it as their simulator.
 
I am quite the silly sausage, I had it in my head that the competition was on bonfire night and was planning all sorts of fun things for us to do in the evening. As I have now discovered the errors of my ways I am back to square-1.

Very much looking forward to going to a competition on my doorstep that I haven't really had any involvement in organising at all - the ultimate luxury! Thank you D-Shepz and Seventowns <3<3 Can't wait to see everybody again, it's been ages and I miss your beautiful faces. I'll never leave the country for an extended period again.
