Pete, I'm sorry to say, but I'd tend to disagree with that. My personal obversation (only an opinion) is that you were taking the slower corners a bit too tight.... the black clio was clearly keeping a wide entry to these corners and keeping his minimum apex speed higher, resulting in a higher...

Just catching up on this.... We had a similar problem when we modified our race car, driveshafts popping out! If you've chewed the cv cup....You need to open that gearbox up and get it cleaned, there is guaranteed swarf in there even if you have found all the needles.

Who likes our new wheels?

Anglesey Race Report - August 2014 Anglesey is quite a long way from where we’re based and it’s similar for most other people in fact. With that in mind, we decided that rather than setting off in the early hours of the morning we would travel up on Saturday afternoon, and stay at the circuit...

Yeh, we're planning on all the remaining rounds of Tin Tops and then hopefully the Birkett relay to finish the year off.

James, donington tin tops is only 3 weeks away and it's going to be a grudge match between us and the Collins Clio for the Class B win..... another fast Clio in the mix would make it doubly interesting!!! You know you're tempted.

Yeh, happy with 1.18... just know there's still a bit more to come from it. I'm pretty sure the bump steer isn't an issue, we spent enough time modifying the subframe that it betta had be! I don't think we need to change the hardware too much any more, it's just setup work. Having 3 drivers...

10 – July Update & Castle Combe Race Report Another break between races and another holiday to fit in; Ryan and I went down to Le Mans for the 24 hour race and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! As soon as we got back though, it was time to crack on with a few jobs that needed to be complete in time...

Haha, looking good Tony! Ian was telling us about your escapades on sunday, he didn't sound happy that you'd plastered the bonnet.

James, what campsite you staying at in Le Mans? Good effort taking the race car down!

I have a feeling we might have a ph1 drivers side shaft.....I can ask Rob to check if you like (I'm out of the country atm)

1st race of the year.....1st in class, 8th overall. Epic result, super chuffed. P.s. can't guarantee when the video will be done as Ryan has all the footage since I'm flying off on holiday tomorrow!

Ooooh, sorry to see this mess Tony.... We've got 2 spare 'boxes in the workshop, one in bits and one together (with a damaged standard diff), so if you want anything let me know. They're of no use to us currently

Cheers! Still plenty of pace to come from it... it was set up quite neutral at Oulton in the interest of learning the track first but it needs to be a little more alive in my opinion. We took the whiteline rear ARB off when we fitted the gripper diff, but now we're thinking the handling is a...

We've totally re-wired the car to suit our own requirements, so the UCH is a thing of the past.

Let me know if you're after any bits....I'm pretty sure we've got some flywheels going spare

Ooh dear, I bumped the barrier after losing it at quarry.....I got away with it though, certainly wasn't close to rolling it. What car was it? Was the driver okay?

Cheers! Plenty more pace to find still....

Can't remember his name....I think Rob was chatting to him about his car, apparently it had 240 bhp on throttle bodies though!

Yeh, precisely that...... We had problems at castle combe last year when it got a bit hot and we didn't spot the coolant boiling. We blew it up and didn't finish the race! So we're making sure we catch things like that before it damages anything

Chase Racing Blog – May ’14 Update As I mentioned in the previous update, there were a few loose ends to tidy up before we heading out on our first test of the year. The dash piece has come back from being flocked and we’re pretty happy with how it has turned out. Here’s a before and after shot...

Doing a trackday at Oulton on wednesday as a shakedown, then attempting to hit every one of the Tin Tops rounds, starting with Silverstone on May 10th.

I'm not trying to establish your account balance at all buddy, just a little disappointed we won't get to see the clio on the race track. I reckon we might give you a run for your money now.....:p

Hold up..... thought you said you didn't have enough money to race this year?? But you've bought a GT spec race car.

Here's a few pics of ours. We've done a number of races in CSCC TinTops and are continuing to do so this year. There's 3 of us who share the car, so, for a "team" the TinTops works out a little better for us vs the Tricolore Trophy. A full history of what we've done over the last 2 years is...

He works for me now!! ....that's not a lie either! I've already convinced him to buy a Clio, just got to get him to turn it in to a race car and compete against us in ours.

Well, nothing's changed in terms of chassis stuff for us over the winter if that's what you're asking.

Chase Racing Blog – Easter ’14 Update As we approach easter, we can finally say that the winter build is complete. We have spent many months putting together an engine package that we hope give us good power & torque whilst still maintaining a certain amount of reliability. We’ve spec’d it such...

13,000 in 3.5 years?? That's pretty good going Pete, how long is your commute and do you do it every day? I've been covering about 2500 per year for the last year and a half now, but I don't cycle every day. 3 per week is about average, with my journey being 8.5 each way.

Yes!! Le Mans ftw! We're heading down, group of 8 of us.... but we're not doing it conventionally this time. After 6 previous visits where we've driven the whole way, 4 of our little group (including me) are going to cycle most of the way over 3 days. So, we'll be arriving there on the thursday...
