TBH I've no idea if I'll do anything yet this year, but i have a mK1 Cortina GT (FiA) with a 4.7. Diff. and its closer to home in many respects than most UK circuits.

I did it three times between 1998 and 2003 and really enjoyed going there despite the long haul down to Dover. It's an interesting track with 3 hairpins and a tight entry to the long pit straight. In those days you could spectate from the flat roof over the cafe and see almost all the circuit. The food in the restaurant was typically french and really good. St. Pol was good for visiting in the evenings after the racing.
