Well done mate. Almost mixing it up with the A class cars as well. Impressive.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Well done Adam, Really enjoyed watching this weekend I do wish i was racing though. Nice vid, great to see Tony Hunter battling away in the 106 in the first few laps.
Russ

First few laps was all I could manage.

Awesome results mate. Bet you are really chuffed. Look forward to watching the video later on this morning.

Cheers Martin. I really am chuffed yes, I know I'm not going to win outright but it's far better than track days, it may be more expensive in terms of seat time but the adrenaline rush is far better.

And you can potentially win some silverware

How many cars are there per class, and how many cars are there total on the grid?

 

[Adam G]

Class size obviously varies depending on entries. Class A (modified up to 2litre) is the biggest in our series. If we race just as the Tricolore then there are about 16 at the moment but with Nippons it becomes 35-40. We really need to have 20+ to have our own races so it's almost there now.

 

[Martin.]

Looked good fun from the video. Noticed your dummy on the green MX

I don't actually know what the difference is between the Tricolore and Nippons

So the modified Clios are Class A (Sonny, Dinger, Tony, James, Russ etc) (I saw Sonny up ahead, and Tony in the 106, but couldn't see anyone else?)

And the production class, which is what you run, basic mods allowed etc. Is class what?

 

[Vaughan]

Congrats. Now I'm going to have to read all 11 pages of this thread

Get ya ARDS done and join us for 2015 season....

 

[Adam G]

Thanks Sonny, saved me a job lol.

 

[Adam G]

Yes Martin, I was proud of that. Nipppn is Jap cars and Tricolore is the new name for French Trophy.

Very interesting thread you have going here. After having a few track days, a few trips to the ring, and a couple of sessions up at Brands I am looking at taking the plunge into Clio ownership which is why I originally clicked on you thread title.

You seem to be doing exceptionally well, congratulations.

Could you give anyone such as my self some pointers?

How have you found the whole venture? Would you recommend it? Apart from your Fathers (and family looking at your cousin) interest in motorsport did you have any prior experience yourself?

Keep up the good work, I look forward to your progress.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Just do it Mr Tomm

 

[bob the builder]

i am hurrying as best i can.
what tyres are you running?

I'd recommend it to anyone. I had a rough idea of the costs involved so it wasn't a shock. If you have another half, either make sure they're aware of everything involved or make sure you are a good liar lol. You just need to accept the initial cost involved and accept that the car will be sat doing nothing for months on end. I only did trackdays before I took the plunge.

 

[Cub.]

Only just seen this, many congrats Adam

Top stuff!

 

[Adam G]

Cheers Oli.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Nice work Adam and four class wins to boot.

 

[Tony Hunter]

He didn't fancy a spanking from the 106, so had to get a move on.

 

[Adam G]

Just renewed for this year. Won't be racing until Brand Snatch but will be watching at Rockingham

 

[Russ Rallye]

Its going to be quiet at rockingham!
Russ

 

[Tony Hunter]

Poor showing so far Russ, indeed.

 

[sonny172cup]

Just being slow updating the list to get the numbers up im sure

 

[Mini182]

I'll be there!

 

[Adam G]

Wish I could but the Vodafone sponsorship deal never got off the ground.

 

[Martin.]

Just caught up with this well done on winning that silverware will watch your latest video shortly.

 

[Adam G]

Excellent day at Brands on Saturday. First time on track there but really enjoyed it. Here's race two:

 

[Martin.]

You seemed to be going very well mate. I didn't realise you were racing until Sonny mentioned it.

 

[Tony Hunter]

He's one of the quiet ones, got to watch them ones you know.

 

[Adam G]

He's one of the quiet ones, got to watch them ones you know.

You really do know too much :blush:

 

[bob the builder]

[Adam G]

Thanks Rob, think you may have to wait until Silverstone tbh. Got a bit of spending to do on this one, a 172 Cup that I'm buying , a holiday and an understanding wife.
