Shit, that is bad news about Mikes car, hope its nothing too serious.

Yougdan- shame thats the slow down straight as you could easily get top speed out of your car down there, On a quiet day I could hit 145mph down there, I'd come in and go back out on warm tires and brakes and my god did it make a difference to the earlier stages of the circuit.

2 down, more to come

The Goonybus as cool as it is was asking to break down lol its well tired and its gets used very hard, fair play to him for even talking it there lol

Hopefully there will be no more breakages throughout the rest of their trip

JonnyBravo To be fair mate Stu and Pervy have put alot of work into the buss for this year, it might look a total shed but thats the whole idea.

The engines just been put on coilpack and stage 3 etc, tbh the way Stu was talking to me thats the last think he thought was going to break.

It was a VW Touran and my wife wouldn't let me take it on the track!! (I managed just over 9 1/2 mins in the cossie with no power steering-thats why it ended up getting towed!)

Some of the guys and girls out there will see this place!



They are very helpful! Sorted my mates Legnum VR4 when he crashed it on the ring! Couldn't do much for mine so it got towed home! Hence the thumbs down from the culprit!!

Ah i see, how much is that extra on the normal AA cover? I always had AA cover but didnt think the standard cover let you get towed back from europe!

But you can't really compare the times, as you have different traffic on the ring....

Also I think lap time chasing is totally misplaced at a weekend where sooo many cars are on the ring....

Luckily we didn't have any big accidents yesterday!

I ll go to the RING now

cheers
