I took a gravel Autosolo Mazda MX-5/Eunos/Miata out on the drift circuit at Oulton Park at the Gold Cup in 2019. Welded diff, hydraulic handbrake, gravel tyres. It's a very tricky little circuit. Low grip tramac, with ground glass mixed in it. It's slippery enough in the dry, but they usually water the surface to make it like an ice rink. It was tricky enough with 1600cc, never mind a 360ci (about 5.8 litre) V8. The Firenza was there again too. I remember it and Ste Ellison doing a bit of a tandem run, with Ste's 2.0 BDG Historic Mk2 Escort. I was involved in setting the stage up for the 2019 Gold Cup, and did a couple of laps in my E36 325tds. Bit tricky when the car wants to put the tail out, but you're towing a trailer..... Went and got the Mazda instead.

I missed it in 2020. I know the virus is the problem but I'm hoping itll be back to normal in 2021,god knows we need it!!! . I've noticed that the little viewing area down at the bottom of the track (after the under tree section) has now gone and you cant sit there anymore. Me and my son loved watching from there as the cars came into the last corner.
