What have you got against Blyton? It's a great circuit for learning to drive a car quickly. I think Cadwell is a better circuit for good drivers (not me unfortunately) but there is an absence of safe run off particularly when the grass is wet. We were at Cadwell 10 days ago and at least half a...

Sorry, I have just realised I posted this in discussion. Can the moderator move to track days and good driving roads section please.

I have just bought a new Samsung phone and would like to use it to video/time my laps on a track day. The track day organisers dictate that the phone is securely mounted and suction mounts are not allowed. How do you mount yours and is there a proprietary mount available? Secondly can anyone...

A friend of mine (not a Cliosport member) has damaged one of his Conti tyres (215/45 17) on his (partner's). Before he goes out and buys a new pair or full set he was wondering what is the preferred tyre for the 200Cup and can he run 225/45 17s? It is an everyday driver but he hopes to do the...

I have just bought some Yokohama A048s with 4mm of tread for a fraction of the cost new for track day use. There are quite a few around at the moment as one of the race series which uses them is switching to Avons next year. A lot of people buy used slicks. If you want some cheap everyday...

Why do 50% of people who post on this forum know the price of everything and the value of nothing. I looked at 10 Clios before I bought mine and it was the second most expensive. If you want to trade cars then price is everything but if you want a car to keep buy the best you can find; it may...

At at track day earlier in the year I got talking to a guy called Carl Greaves who runs his own one man band car transport business. I took a card in case I needed him. I think he charges about £1 a mile. I have never used him so cannot vouch for his reliability but he struck me as an OK guy who...

When I first drove the MK3 MX5 I thought it was a bit heavy and had a hard ride even in standard trim and preferred my son in law's Mk 2. On the track though I really like the Mk3. I seem to recall that a lot of people think the Mk3 Cliosport is a bit underpowered compared to the Mk 2 but it is...

I have a Clio 172 Cup and my son has the MX5 Mk3 2.0 sport. We share track days alternating between the two. I find the 172 a bit fragile compared to the MX5. If I had to pick one car it would be the MX5 but as my son already had one there was not much point getting another and we wanted the...

Expand please.

That's what initially concerned me but I have been lucky in the past and had some real bargains. So I thought I would look into it further. The point I am trying to make in flagging this up on the forum is just how professional the scammers are in terms of producing authentic looking pages on...

I have just avoided falling victim to a scam over the purchase of a car on ebay What follows below came on an email purportedly from ebay. Although the logos and layout etc have not copied across it looked like a genuine ebay document. It even had a link to their live chat centre. No doubt if I...

Race against time! Why do we all book the track day then take the car to bits? This should be ballistic. Put me down for a ride on Sunday.

Is it going to be ready for Sunday? Sadly the Lotus won't be - looks like HGF. So we will be there in the Clio and maybe the MX5 as well.

I do!
