Its the same with everyone mate (early turn in), racing lines dont feel natural at first, if you been driving on the road for years. some corners need such a late turn in it takes a while to get your head around it. Once that 'clicks' you'll be flying. I bet after 30mins of tuition you'd have...
too many gear changes there chap. try staying in 4th for paddock and 3rd for Graham Hill. makes it a lot more stable and easier to get power down. less changes can be quicker.
great vid, love brands
Had a randon phone call from Schweepy a while back as him and a mate were looking at a Clio. Turned out to be my old one but apparently was hanging and had owners into double figures on the log book.
Did Clarkie ever rebuild his 5?
I'm not sure what the gear ratios would be like using a laguna box. If they are the same as Clio then maybe it would be ok. But the phase 2 Clio 172 box has a 15/61 final drive ratio and is more suited in my opinion. So id suggest trying to find one of those.
The advatage of the 15/61 would be...
Weve been in the workshop again today, got a fair bit done, just little bits left to do now before heading up to TDF next month for calibration.
Will write it all up properly when i can be assed, but the engine bay now looks like this............. :approve:

Its been reported that they are running the TOCA engine in the MG.
Last year proved that to be up the front an NGTC turbo lump was needed. The full NGTC cars did show promise but there were several stories about the quality of the builds. S2000 cars are still legal, in Turbo or NA but next...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
First time I drove ours was in qualifying at Brands. Remember being annoyed with myself for being so late on the throttle, used to it now but takes a while to get the hang of it. Another good corner is the 2nd...
leave the big end bolts then.
Our engine had 95k road miles on it before being fitted to the race car. Did 30 hours between 5,500 and 8,000 Rpm before it let go
