Seems so, I did panic for a moment but crisis averted thanks to @Nik 🙏
Pleased to say we will have two cars with us for the weekend.
You all know the first car as it was with you guys last year, but in case you've forgotten 👀
The second - we'll announce in April, for now I'll say - Fruity...
Whoops, been a bit busy recently and haven't checked in.
Seems all track slots bar morning sessions have sold - 🤯
So ah, not sure what's going to happen with the hot laps now.
Appreciate that mate, not one to let folks down and the last thing I want is costs getting silly for forum members.
I think we'll have to stick to last years plan but with the added bonus of a monster machine for the extra bonus factor 👍
Some slightly bad news :cry: I've been looking in to the cost of allowing folk to drive one of our race cars... the insurance is astronomical to the point that we'd have to either...
A. Rely on backing from one of our sponsors to make it viable.
or B. Pass costs on to those wanting to drive...
Considering with the right bits, caster/camber etc are all adjustable. I'd say the limitations are peoples approach to the problem, that then add further problems.
As @Waitey rightfully pointed out, the first thing the majority of people do is over lower the car so it spends the majority of its...
Very worth cause, folk don't realise just how debilitating MND is.
A friend of mine was diagnosed in 2019 while serving in the army, he's now non-verbal and requires round the clock care. Lovely lad and his family are bloody amazing. It cuts me up knowing he might not be here next year.
Afraid I don't mate. It did go to a lad on here but I can't remember his username for the life of me.
Bit gutted as it was a solid shell, just bit off more than I could chew at the time as I was still waiting on some surgery.
Based in South Wales, regular track seems to be Donington at the moment. Favourite track is between Brands GP and Oulton.
172 cup, not a massive spec but plenty enough for a good day of fun.
X98 - 2019 Clio Cup Championship winning car. Lives its life on track, raced in Britcar this season...
Letting as many folk experience a bit of fun/terror while raising the total figure for the chosen charity is what it's all about. £30 would help do that and I think the less time on track means less folk get to have a laugh with us too so, well stick to £30 (y) hopefully everyone else thinks...
Between @Sunglasses_Ron - @Nik and myself, we're looking at bringing the “Hot Lap - Passenger Rides” back after how successful they were this year 😄
The car itself took the Clio Cup Championship in 2019 and we lead the way in the Britcar Endurance Championship this year, ending as Vice...
Personally, I'd love to support https://www.stroke.org.uk/ as I've witnessed first hand the difference this organisation makes. Two of my mechanics came very close to loosing their lives, as has a sponsor as a result of a stroke. The support they received afterwards meant they're still here to...
The fact Emily toughs it out in a tent for two nights while the big boys worry about not having a haircut from @Touring_Rob says a lot if you ask me 🤷♂️
International VS Costal - you're only skipping out two long straights and a relatively slow hairpin.
Considering there's two hairpins already on the costal layout, do we really need the third on the international when the chicane on the costal link is much more technical? Which in turn, made...
For the mk4? No chance :ROFLMAO:
172 cup Track
Front - 8kg spring, 4 clicks back from full stiff on the damper (full soft if wet) - 30mm drop - PMS top mounts and brace - 20mm spacers
Rear - eibach sportline - cup shock - whiteline arb (disconnect if wet) - 25mm drop - 15mms spacers
Personally, on a 1*2 I wouldn't want to go higher than 7/9kg split.
That said with our Mk4CR the most we ran all season was 9/12kg split.
I run the rear of my 172 cup on sportlines as they have a progressive rate of 40-85nm which is more than enough, allowing for a good rake angle without...
This!
Everyone ends up with an oversprung/underdampened set up. They then lower their car as much as possible, leaving them wondering why the other three oversprung corners are forcing the load on to the front and causing scrub. So they throw stiffer springs again at the front thinking it'll...
