    I would like to correct this misinformation. It should read:

    Facts and figures
    Surface: Mud (may have some gravel underneath... or sometimes not)

    Mud could be interesting indeed. I would guess that mud would make changing the set up that much harder when in service, not to mention having to do a repair on the side of the road. :eek6:

    Never driven the automatic, so do the paddles work similar to the shifter in the WRC car?

    Whaddya mean? That looks nearly bone dry - none of that counts as mud.

    We are actually having a late autumn/fall heatwave in the British Isles right now - it hit 60 degF in many places today, which is 15 degF over average. Whether this will carry on into next week is anyone's guess.
