Well it is illegal to film on the ring, so its quite normal to not have video of it

Its a shame our public day sunday wasnt a dry day really for people who wanted to do a lot of laps.

Is your mini standard dev? It seemed to go arlight, and corner well round cones :w00t:

Our A032s survived the trip fine, in fact I don't think anybody's came back bald. Even Puddings (who was giving it some) seemed to have good tread left at the end. We did 1100 miles on ours (brand new the night before) and have lost less than 1 mm of tread. We only did the parade lap which was in the wet but still, for normal driving on 32s that's not bad.
