Just a bit! Staying upwind worked best :)

One of the drift cars had a supercharger, could hear that thing whining a mile off...

Having driven Land Rovers for may years, the smell of burning rubber is but a distant memory.  Up wind seems like a good idea.

And having known a few landrover owners the whining should be familiar

Looks like a good day out.
FIA European Championships at Santa Pod, last weekend in May. One after next?
That's my annual motor racing pilgrimage. Hoping for good weather. Too far to travel to watch rain falling on the drag strip.
Lots of good smells, burning rubber, and Methanol.........
