Cracking day at this today, managed to sneak the Nomad in! :) Always driven past this place and wondered what was inside... They had loads of racing/rally cars on show and some amazing engineering. Their parts shelves had an seemingly endless supply of carbon fibre on them.. Not another Ariel in sig...

Rally Track Days - Anglesey

Anyone else seen these new track days Anglesey are offering? Looks great fun, very tempted to have a go in the Nomad... Shame it's so far away and only in Feb/March.

No problem, it was good fun! Your quote has stuck with me, "The right Ariel for the right area" Nice to take someone out who appreciated the extra torque and the Ohlins... Most people (non-Atom owners) have been scared stupid and not noticed a thing! Definitely slower on track, more fun wh...
