I need to get hold of an iPhone, 6 or onwards, for as little money as possible.
I've seen many retailers selling 'pristine' phones for circa £150-£200 which works for me.
Before I jump in and risk getting burned...does anyone have any first-hand experience or recommendations of where I should...
The facts are simply;
On phone during circuit safety briefing = total instant cnut
We had it at Llandow once, an Evo driver who clearly thought he knew it all then later in the day showed everyone that he really didn't. Cnut.
I haven't been for a good few years, I'm more into the Revival and Member's meeting, the F0S just has too many people desperatre to get a selfie while stood next to a Chiron.
I've managed to blag a Friday invite from a supplier this year...and knowing I've not so much as paid a bean for it, I...
I've got the Hague headrest strut mount which works flawlessly, has done for 15 years now, but as the seat moves a little when you're hammering it on track you ideally need something with some inbuilt stabilisation to compensate for that movement.
For an alternative, and without needing to...
That's not bonkers at all IMO. It's simply free motoring...with a possible big upside at some point in the future. That's what I was aiming for when I ordered my RS LOL
Fill it with fuel, grab helmet, and go. That's all you need to do. Until you've done that you do not know what needs replacing, fine tuning, or improving.
All criticism is welcome (y)
After the lap time comparison that'll follow the final session from this day then I'll be done. Honsetly, a big part of the reason for it is that it keeps poking the RS community and that generates views as they all pile in to leave the BMW crowd insults.
I do...
The brakes held up just fine at Goodwood in the end although I've now got ATE Typ200 fluid in it.
The first couple of sessions were a bit, meh, but in this one I really started leaning on it but as a 1 series, not as a Focus. It delivered.
My experience is the same as @JB21 , they wear really quickly, I took a set down to the backing plates during one Goodwood day, 125 miles in total was all I had from them.
But, accepting that faster rate of wear, I think they're great pads. I had a consistent pedal feel, the material doesn't...
I've done Brands Indy quite a few times and found it the complete opposite...congested! I'm sure on a Renaultsport day I went to there they capped it at 40 cars on track at once. To put that into perspective, running with the same traffic density at Goodwood but on Brands Indy would see the...
That's fair enough.
I've just checked, Brands GP, like Goodwood, is 2.4 miles long. Do they let more than 10 cars on track at a time on the GP circuit?
That's all they do at Goodwood and that's a huge reason why I love the place. It's almost like private hire.
...and then the accountant in me kicks in hard.
I get 75% of that track time for 50% the cost (and I get the most epic lunch thrown in with unlimited refreshments all day long!)...plus, I expect the track at Brands would be a whole load more crowded and with far worse etiquette as well.
It...
Yeah, I get that there are others, but I seriously just can't be arsed. I know Goodwood, I like driving Goodwood, I like that fact that my many many laps of experience there helps me hassle machinery I really shouldn't be able to. Besides, I've done just about all other tracks I'd want to do...
There's genuinely not much else that holds less interest for me...much as I enjoyed doing it purely for LOLs in my Focus RS, I've no desire to put such strain and shock loadings through my drivetrain, at least when using it hard on track the things that wear are (mostly) easily replaced...
That's pretty much the measure of it, yeah, all tongue firmly in cheek of course. There's no denying he was on it as far as he was comfortable though...I'm just a bit more comfortable carving my way around there.
I've got one more day booked at Goodwood post diff fitting and that's it for me...
