we've had some mad RS6's, RS4's and an RS2 before, all were extremely impressive.

Would a plain old unmodified RS6 be too slow for you!

I dont think an RS6 could ever be described as slow!

we had a fantastic run last year, 4 up each, RS6 VS RS2 160 odd mph, made for some great photos

Have a look at the link above Bob. It tells you on there that you need to register an interest via email and then see if you get selected as places are at a premium.
I think I recall others saying that spectators are not allowed, but if you were to go as 'support crew' for someone, maybe that is allowable. ;)

Hi Bob & everyone else. Cost is £150 per car. No spectators but each paying car can bring 1 passenger. Yes i have an official photographer, trackdemon from pistonheads.

Thanks.

I must be being dim here, but I still cant find where it is held?

Must be lack of sleep due to 'election fever'.

I took the Beast to VMAX last year (before my recent round of further modifications) & managed a very respectible 175MPH (ran out of runway), which as you can see, puts some rather awesome marques in the shade 8)

I've spoken to Craig & intend to give the Beast another run at the next VMAX which is hopefully around August time. :D Hoping to be in the top 3 next time 8)
