Royal Deeside Speed Festival

[Alfa2Evora]

Held on Sunday, 21st August, within the grounds of Kincardine Castle, Kincardine O'Neil, the event centred around an untimed (i.e., non-competitive - allegedly) demonstration hillclimb on the castle driveway.

Here's some in-car video footage from my Evora. On the first run, I backed out of the throttle way before the finish line as there was a large patch of mud at the paddock exit on what was already a damp and slippery track. On the later runs, the track had tried out a bit (and the brave pill had kicked in) so I gave it a bit more 'commitment'.

A  selection of still pictures of the display cars will follow shortly.

............plus those 'relegated' to the public car park due to the boggy conditions in the display field........

........and finally, to finish off the proceedings, we had a race for gravity-powered vehicles.....

I would hate to think of the value of the car's stuck in the public car park. Must have run into millions. A great day out, just a pitty about the club site stand being to soft to get the car's in.

That looks amazing David, would love to have a go at something like that myself.  Fair play for taking the Evora on the sprint

Thanks for taking on all the grief David.  Shame about the paddock.  You will regret having spoken to me at February's Breakfast Club!.  Should be there next year with luck as offshore this one.  I'll have to watch video's once home as can't out here.

Short but sweet - that's the first time I've heard my car from the outside,  .
