Vids will be up at some point this week. Our internet is ridiculously bad so it takes it's time.
Also got a bum clenching moment for the sunflower 172 getting all squirrelly down Duffus. We'll saved in the end.
I have this rattle. Kept thinking it was my metal tax disc holder but removed it and it still does it.
Its not constant ie. it comes and goes but it does get on my nerves when it does it.
Washed the beast today after it being brown for a week since Knockhill last Saturday. Still not a pro with the camera as yet (One pic is dark one pic is is spoiled by the flash):
Next track outing is 9th June. Cannot wait.
What were you in?
65 seconds was my quickest I think (Thats just watching the videos back).
My session 5 vid was when I was driving the quickest (As the track had dried out) but never managed a clear lap.
Copy and pasted from another forum.
Wee summary of Saturday's track outing.
Turns out the Fiesta is frickin awesome on track.
She performed flawlessly all evening garnishing some positive comments:
Also turns out that the brake upgrade was a worthwhile addition since even those got a...
Mountune Alcon brakes and filmed on a GoPro 3+.
My best session vid has finally finished uploading to YouTube so here it is:
Having now had a couple of days and the adrenaline having died down also, I'll go out on a limb and say the Fiesta is quicker and more fun on track than the Clio was...
Turns out my brakes were getting kinda warm:
My best video (Were I'm at my fastest) still had 501 minutes to go before being fully uploaded to Youtube at 6am this morning. Should be complete by the time I'm finished work.
No stone chips that weren't already on the car.
No issues at all with the car. Performed well above expectations
Kinda glad I opted for the big brake kit as I properly hammered the brakes lol.
There were a number of photographers about so hopefully I can find some track action shots.

I have my first track day in our ST on Saturday. I'm curious to hear what tyre pressures you ran when you've done your track days in your ST?
Did you stick with the standard pressures ie. did you keep them at 36 front 26 back when hot? Or did you go lower?
