Lol, there's about 3 different threads on it Steve. Great weekend! I take it you were there Sunday so just saw the Clio on the trailer?

His bumper's made of paper now Martin!

Thanks Jay

​Good point for future but mine's ok for now.

Tony as a rough guide for anyone interested. Am I right in thinking these are our basic requirements and rough BARE MINIMUM COSTS: FIA approved suit, gloves and boots. Balaclava? £500 Clubman specs - what approval number? Snell approved helmet (believe 2005 approved is ok until 2017)£150ish...

Still in very early stages, I think next season is the reality. Give us chance to get setup with both car and regs. Also give us chance to get ARDS etc. No point rushing, I'd rather be a bit more prepared for next year. Even with my car almost right bar stripping, cage etc. I don't think I'm...

​Is that to go with knot tying and firemaking Akala?

Looks like I might have to get a little blue book.:approve:

Still another grand to pay out on a "budget" series though isn't it? Then buying even better secondhand ones could come into it, where do you draw the line? As you and I well know, these budgets can easily get blown out of all proportion. Keeping things almost stock creates a reasonable...

Where have you been?

Can of worms as all down to personal preference Richard. Plenty of different opinions. My suggestions would be Cup shocks or if you want to pay the extra then Konis as you say. Presume your Eibachs are Sportlines which are ideal, Whiteline ARB if you feel the need to. Ferodo DS2500 pads and...

Nice, credit to you now.:clap:

​Phew

​You were chatting to somebody else, I'll run up and kiss you at Llandow shall I?

Well they put the Stig in a Mini Works GP and he lapped Donington in 1:29.8 seconds. I can do it in my Clio, in a similar spec that's being proposed for this series in 1:30s. I still have a lot to learn and still don't class myself as up to my potential, but the Mini has about 50 bhp and lb/ft...

Slight adjustment to the rear quarter for future races.

​You know it.

Starting in fourth on the GP:cool:

Well after just watching Top Gear, I'd have been breathing down The Stig's neck at Donny in mine. So these cars have potential in the state of tune that's being proposed.

Even longer carrying Fred's beer out! Been a great two days fun for me - Thanks again for the tyre session matey!;)

Well if anybody's wondering who's genuinely interested in this....... ​It's probably the people that are trying to keep the cost to a minimum.

​= More expense.

​Get out!

Too fast for you?:rasp:

^We'd be on diets, water's free!

Nick, I'd probably drive to the events in the car. Nothing stopping it being road legal still. ​ I think 1k is perhaps a little over the top, maybe about £700 per event. You've only got 3 x 15 minute sessions, so not even half a track day in reality. Entry is around £300 I think. I will stand...

Can I just remind people that there is a 2CV championship, so basic cars can be raced effectively.

In reality, my cup shocks have done more track miles than probably all the racers' coilovers put together on here. Can't see how you can say they aren't up to it.

Just in case anybody is interested but hasn't got a clue where to start looking for more info. Here's a couple of links to help: http://www.msvtrackdays.com/car-home/go-racing.aspx http://www.gomotorsport.net/
