Default Rolling road day for this summer

For the summer Rolling road day, would anyone be interested in going to WRC Technologies. As this is supposed to be one of the best rolling roads in the country!!

It's a bit of a trek as it's in Silverstone, so I'd like your opinions before I arrange anything.

Would be good for a change, although people that have been to Engine Advantages before and have done mods in between RR days might like to get on the same rollers.

I know how you feel, this isn't an easy choice, but the Rolling Road at WRC, is supposed to be VERY accurate. I'm just gauging people's responses. If there is little interest in venue or even in doing another session, then the day may not go ahead.

Mind you would be good to go to WRC just to check out their facilities, can shoot down to EA anytime for a quick RR session so count me in.

My car has done over 100K and when it went on the rollers I was slightly nervous but it kept going and didn't blow up. (which was nice)

I've emailed them, and that was one of the questions I asked

just got to wait for the reply.

got a few mods in mind for this - last ones before the 2.5 conversion when the engine goes bang
