Race report to come. It was not without its drama!

The weekend has arrived and we're about ready. (I think) New lift pump assembly arrived in the week along with the front hub with a far better quality SNR bearing from PMS pressed into it. Feels much tighter. Need to check the camber setting once on some level ground but much happier now...

Agreed, one looks like its 180 degrees out.

As long as the bolt spacing on the front struts suit your car they are a good upgrade for sure.

Preparations for Donington 2 hour race started this week starting with retrieving the car from its new storage space. A mate of mine has just had a storage unit built for his car collection so I had to ask if he might have room for one more! A Clio takes up very little space after all! And in...

Messing around with AI today. Don't look too closely!

No GoPros for the Brands Hatch race. They hate the heat! So I cobbled together the VBox footage. If you can stomach the poor quality the racing gets more interesting about 15 minutes in.

More to come soon!

Was definitely a fun race! Not sure on the fueling issue yet. Possibly fuel vapourisation due to the heat, or possibly more crap in the system. I've got a Walboro uprated lift pump to fit in the tank which I'll do in the next couple of weeks in the run up to Donington on the 21st. Someone has...

Great to hear someone is reading it! People rarely seem to comment but to be honest I find it good post race therapy! Yes it was a busy weekend. the CSCC race meets always have a mix of classic to contemporary racing and the "Brands Brittania" is always on the May bank holiday and is always a...

Brands Hatch 24th & 25th May What a weekend! Not withstanding the ridiculous temperatures on track and in the car, it was an eventful weekend. Not the result we wanted but a great couple of days all the same and by all means not a disaster. Sunday morning I was in the paddock at 6:20 with a...

Looks great but its the same weight as the fibreglass ones that are only £180. Admittedly probably stronger and look great if you like the bare CF look. I'd be interested to see one in the flesh.

The hub is back and back on the car. So last night I set about ticking the last items from the list. The problematic fuel system being the main focus. After finding the filter blocked at Snetterton a couple of months ago and not checking it at Brands last week I was expecting it to be clogged...

Back in the workshop today, I've strated working through the, thankfully quite short list of things to address before next weekend. With the remnants of the trip into the gravel still evident under the car I started with getting it up on the Quickjacks and giving the underside a jetwash. After...

8 days to RACE DAY Earlier this week John and I convened at Brands Hatch for a day of practice. Little did we know what biblical weather lay ahead. I arrived early to try and grab a garage only to find that every one had been reserved. Fortunately though, I recognised a name on one of the...
