Into Practice and it was very evident that car set-up and consistency rather than pure out and out speed would be the way to approach this track, 'slow means fast' is a good way of putting it. Nick Hill suffered straight away in the practice not even doing a fully lap of the track with radio problems. The rest of the teams we 'dealing' with the track.  Rob Cuss Flying through the air RD 1 Qualifying Most if not all of the team were having to raise up their cars suspension as it was a lot bumpier than expected, Rob Cuss's car was the first to learn this problem with a low rear ended car that led to him being catapulted up in the air by the back of his car hitting the top of the jump. Sam Taylor had a good run, very fast and very consistent run with only a couple of errors trying to pass slower cars. Stewart and Nick had mixed fortunes, again Nick wasn't able to turn a wheel in anger due to his radio problems again, Stewart had a good run but was being caught out by the table top double (TTD) which he made so many mistakes on that the corner marshal i think got bored turning his car over and over onto its wheels. Jamie Armstrong had a superb run attacking the track with speed and consistency he set a very good time in the process. Fresh from his 8th Position in the Euro's Elliott Boots thriving with confidence hit the dirt with unbelievable pace, even during the warm-up you could see Elliotts car was dialed and only possible a few small changes here and there would be needed throughout the day, Elliott made a couple of small mistakes which cost him about 5-10 seconds overall, maybe pushing too hard and trying to over drive the track was to blame?? overall RD 1
