Lift Off Oversteer (or LOO as it is known in the trade!) is not something you should be contemplating in an asthmatic little French car! You should be keeping that Size 12 bolted to the floor whilst trying to clip the thwacking posts on the inside of the corner! Mind you the Tango Troop were highly amused by your expolits - one of the blokes at Triangle was laughing so much the tears ran down his leg!

Exactly.

I need to be a bit braver and keep my foot in.

When i told my story to two people in particular they both agreed that i shouldn't have lifted.

The two people were Richard Marshal and Jim Gazey, both of whom know a bit about Peugeots.

Up at Loggerheads - amongst all of the applause and screams of laughter this bloke sprang to mind for some reason.

Some cracking photos !
Caught my brother nicely grass tracking in his MK1 Escort on the 30th !
He kept that quiet, but the camera doesn't lie !
(Also explains the bent timing strut !)

Cheers

Mark

Ps I was there in a Yellow 205
