Default Trackday at Brands Full Grandprix track

Did a Trackday at Brands on monday. Thought I would share the pics... Lots of Lotus and Caterhams were there.

I had the little Clio there as Westy is off road waiting for new engine and gearbox!








Was this Clio there as well


and a Megane


I was sharing a garage with these guys. COOL car and really nice guys, have already been in touch about doing something else with them soon.






Clio was going really well in morning on R888's







but in the afternoon track had dried out so switched to the new Dunlop slick I bought from mrtyremotorsport who was really quick and helpful.











My uncle having a go of it. he loves the little clio!








Clios got new seats, steering wheel and harnesses that Mark Fish sorted and fitted for me. Really changed the feel of the whole car and it feels proper now... sorry for pics. Looks ALOT better in real life.




few nice Porsches




Lots of Caterhams!


Lovely Radical


whoopsy!



awesome new 458! first I have seen on trackday.

Awesome Lee.

How are you finding the Willwoods and what pads do you have in them?
Lastly if you dont mind could you please pm me the price on the Dunlops. I have some used ones to try first but might get a new set if I like them.

Cheers

Slicks are about £160 each

use http://www.mrtyremotorsport.co.uk/

Really top guy! I got some for Westy as well


Steve. Westy got some cracks on block around bolt holes at top. Its at Martoons now being long studded and be put on a proper WRC gasket on it...

gearbox... well... whilst engine was out... decided I might as well buy an Elite sequential 6 speed box.

Any excuse huh

Yes but who cares

How did the car feel going from 888s to slicks? Lastly what size did you go for? 185/580 15?
Iv got 200/580 15 for my corsa and iv got a feeling they are going to scrub.....ALOT

Im going to stop asking you questions about tyres now.

You got any plans for getting an incar camera in the Clio? We need vids!

had 2 cams in it all day. Got lots of footage.

was running a AIM smartycam on the left... and a GOpro HD on the right hand side.

I managed to get one video on youtube from Combe....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8OYQtse7zo

but since then I just cant seem to work any of the video editing software. I have just gone over to all Apple stuff and am really struggling to work ANYTHING!

might go back to laptop and try and it on there.


Tyres... yes. 185 580 15's look a bit gay and skinny. Gripped very well. Not MASSIVE improvement though to be honest.

That's pure driving.

No ABS, no ASR, no ESP. ~750 kg and 240 hp out of one of the best stock 2.0 Turbo engines available (2.0 TFSI, Audi/VW/Seat).

Soooooooooooooooo much fun. And as fast as 911 GT's
And soooooooooooooo expensive
