[.GAZ.]

YAAAASSSS!!!

 

[.GAZ.]

Camber bolts, decat and cat-manifold fitting kit.. Then it'll be ready.

 

[Djw John]

Oil change, box oil change, yozza back on - done.

 

[Dan.G]

The 5's booked into wallace performance next week for alignment to finally get rid of the ridiculous camber so it might actually go straight through corners! lol

 

[Djw John]

Good stuff, I'm trying to persuade Dave to take his on!

 

[Dan.G]

Excellent at least it wont just be me constantly being passed by the clio's then lol

 

[Djw John]

He's poofing it atm.

 

[Deek1182]

Stupid question - open pit lane meaning you can go on and off as you please for each 2 hour session?

​Just checking before i book!

 

[.GAZ.]

Yes mate! Much better than the 'Hot Hatch' set up.

 

[Fraser.J.]

Dude my forum name is Fraser.j now!

​Booked in!

 

[.GAZ.]

Superb! You doing both OPL sessions?

 

[Djw John]

Frazjam is better than fraserdotjay

 

[Dan.G]

Is it definitely open pit? KH website has it as 2 hot hatch sessions? Will be along either way just wondered where you had seen it as open pit.

 

[Fraser.J.]

Ye there definitely open pit

 

[Deek1182]

When I phoned up to book I got told it will depend on numbers how it works but I'm assuming with a 50 car limit its gonna work out more track time than normal anyway. At least I hope it does!

 

[.GAZ.]

50 car limit is ok. We recently done a 30 car OPL and the track was empty most of the time.

 

[MG cup]

Put my name down for the full day John.

 

[.GAZ.]

I'm all booked up!

 

[MG cup]

I'm all booked up!

Your Cup looks to be getting some treatment, should be good.

 

[.GAZ.]

Hopefully I can get all the new bits fitted in time!

 

[Djw John]

[Dan.G]

After watching yous on Sunday at knockhill i would love to do this.....however i don't want to kill my daiy drive just yet

 

[SeanTrophy]

I really want to start doing these at knockhill, but I've never raced on a track before and I'm scared about just being thrown in at the deep end. Ill be the d**k holding everyone up!

 

[Djw John]

Are you able to indicate and move to the right? If so you'll be fine, get it booked

 

[Fraser.J.]

It really is a piece of piss guys

If you don't want to go jump in at the deep end, book up for the driver tuition (performance sriving course) they do, you use your own car and go round with an instructor!

Easy way to start off!

 

[.GAZ.]

If Fraser can manage it.. Anyone can!

 

[Fraser.J.]

That is also true

​Yeah, I looked into doing one of these just to get my confidence up before I do any track days.

Once you get a couple of laps under your belt, you'll wonder what all the worry/stress was about. You'll get the bug and never look back.

 

[SeanTrophy]

Haha I know! It's just taking the first plunge. I'll need to get some decent rubber before I do anything though.

I'm sure you guys are all nice and forgiving gents

You are much better to go out on standard road rubber to start off, learn the track, learn the car and learn the correct smooth lines, then upgrade to some semi slicks,
