didnt keep track to as many decimal points but my A8 got a 14.1 1/4 mile and 25.3 on handling track so 39.4 total, not bad for a barge.

Mistaking a Panda for an Uno? People have woken up next to horses heads for less. ;)

Well done eveyone. See you next year.

Thinking about it, if I'd realised how quick I was up the strip, I wouldn't have cocked about on the handling course! Ah well, next year!

OK. I like the idea of being stupid and simple....
LSD and de-dion, with a hint of steering for 2012....

I'm pretty chuffed with 4th place but could have been much quicker if i had the right tyres and no fuel starvation issues coming out that pesky figure off 8, once i work out how to setup the suspension had it a bit more sussed on my last 3rd run where I got the 26.17 car would be much more chuckable round the tight twisty stuff instead off loads of understeer! Good fun though we shall see what happens over the next year think I'll try my hand at some Auto slalom style events and hill climb.

Not sure taking LSD will help your results.

Steering helps, though.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
