Ronnie did SPECTACULARLY well today

Came 4th in class after reaching the Super Battle - the 3 cars that beat him were a skyline and two supras (very questionable whether the supras are in the right class IMO!)

To say that Ron had somewhere in the region of half the power of the 3 cars that beat him, he was within 7 seconds of them and he had nearly a full tank of fuel due to fuel surge issues - overall he delivered a stunning drive!

Ron, you should be very, very proud of what you achieved this weekend mate

their are a few things to sort before knockhill, fuel surge needs to be sorted, rear coil overs need re furbing as they are leaking badly, bilstein front coil overs to be fitted, just had budget gaz on for oulton and need new front discs as the o/s/f had cracked from top to bottom by the end of the day,


beefy team name is GSmotosport/airtec racing

Well Done Ron.... Done really well by the sounds of it.

cars looking good, although couldnt make the journey in the end to lend support.


Seems to be quite a varied car selection in the Club class this year with Civic's, Elise and even mk5 Fiesta's.

AWESOME work with the car mate. Time to take the rego plates off. She's a full race car now!
Great vids too. The red mist and oversteer gets a little more frequent when you were chasing that 33 GTR!
