I need to get off attending Japfest so I can come up to Knockhill for this.
Esp as TBH I bed most the EDC lot have discounted him as some kid in a shit E30 already.
But its not like that is it, no way.

Really hope Mike has no probs with the car so he can do his best (tho no 2nd gear wont be a prob, the run up at KH is even longer than Llandow so Mike will be well past that gear by then ).

Those corners are pretty effin scary at knockhill, Big respect for stepping up Mike, You'll love the track - Have you been round it before at all?
I hope to be there, but I'm flying to Finland that day with work at the moment so it's not looking likely.
Good luck dude

Not been round it no, I'll look at some past EDC vids etc and talk to Jeek who's driven it before. Looks like it should be fun learning it

None of the guys in EDC think like this Stav, perhaps you've been hanging around too many people who do think like that!!!!

We are all looking forward to welcoming Mike into EDC and are really excited about it (as we are with every BDC entrant), he's stepping up and putting up and thats as cool as........

Cant wait to see him, his car and his style of driving in EDC.

No, as Mikes a good mate so have known for years he is a seriously good driver Even if his cars are crap, lol.

Didnt mean it in a bad way, just it seemed to shock most people on here and chance their tune when they saw how good he is, never mind top level EDC folk who had prob never heard of him before, lol.

Knockhill is a cool circuit, you'll have no problems there at all, just keep it nailed.

Yeah exactly, no one really thinks like that. I personally respect anyone who gives it a go regardless of the outcome. I look forward to seeing him in action! Peoples champ.. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Mikey, everyone bigs up the first corner at Knockhil, but its not so bad, fun times id say. Its the compression at the bottom of the hill that suddenly gives your car loads of grips thats kinda hard for me!

People's champ yeah I would have said "I represent what a lot of people want to see in drifting" but people's champ has a better ring to it, and it's something one of my favourite rappers says.

Yup m30b35, 220bhp 220lbft, 3.5 litre, big heavy boatanchor tractor engine.

I'll be sticking with it this year then maybe switch in a v8 or ///M engine dependant on finances and what comes up. If I have no problems with power this year then I'll just keep it the same spec.
