A few final instructions to keep in mind for Sunday:
1. Due to there being a Rallycross round in Mondello, the main gate will be manned, just say you're with the TDC Autotest, if there's any problems give me a call.
2. This year we are running the tests side by side, which means the start and finish to BOTH TESTS will be where the tarmac meets the gravel. Please park all tow cars/trailers well down the gravel area to keep the start/finish areas of both tests clear.
3. Marshals are the key ingredient to running events like this, please be conscious of the fact they have given up their Sunday's to help us all have a fun day out. Let's not have them standing in (hopefully not!) adverse weather conditions for any longer than needed by moving through the tests efficiently.
4. Myself and Richard have drawn tests that we hope will suit both FWD and RWD cars, I hope to have test diagrams will be posted up here by tomorrow evening so you can get a feel for them before Sunday.
If there's any problems/questions/late entries in the meantime please get in touch!

Great event today - well run, good tests, great turnout and some lovely vintage/classic motors that I would hate to see hitting anything, even a pylon. Well done to all and great thanks as ever to the marshals who make it all possible.

After a pretty sloppy last event for me, I was delighted to get a clean and fast run through the tests today - very happy with the car and the tumbling times. The learning curve is hugely enjoyable.
Fair play to Phillip and Richard for the tests, the big throw on test 1 was brilliant 
Great to get my old Stryker sparring-mate, Steve Ross out - I don't think it's the last we'll see of him!
Huge thanks also to Piers for the spin in his ''M3 GTR'' version of the Starlet, batsh1t crazy machine, I loved it!
Thanks a mill to all the marshalls, Mondello and the ever-brilliant TDC club

An absolute massive thank you must go to all marshals and competitors for making today's event such a success. Without the marshals in particular these events just can't happen and we really did have an excellent bunch of lads helping to ensure the smooth running today.
Thanks also to the huge turnout of competitors who made the effort to get out and support the event, as John said it was great to see a few different and classic cars out today.
Up until this morning we really weren't sure if the new test layout was going to work, thankfully it got a good response from anyone I spoke to so we hope you all enjoyed it.
Anyone that was due to get an award (1st, 2nd and 3rd Expert, Novice and Beginner) but had to head off early, it'll be kept for you and you can pick it up at the Howard Wilde Autotest on the 15th of November.
Once again for thanks to all and see you soon!
