Adam's budget racing thread

[Adam G]

No keeping the black one to circuit race in. Cup will be my new daily but also to have a go at hillclimbing in roadgoing production class and my wife wants to have a go at a trackday or two as well. So it's an ideal allrounder.

Nice one Adam

 

[bob the builder]

sounds like fun.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Get you, Johnny 2 cars.

So next event is Silverstone on August 15th. Four Clios entered in our Production Class and what looks like a good entry list in all other classes. It should be good fun.

 

[sonny172cup]

That will be interesting, 4 production spec Clio, will be really good fun I reckon.

 

[Adam G]

I hope so Sonny, the more the merrier for us and spectators or future potentials.

 

[MattJB]

I'm hoping to come along as both a spectator and a future potential!

 

[Adam G]

Finally sounds like a racecar....you don't need to ask what it is!
Y....!

 

[Tony Hunter]

I know....

 

[Adam G]

I know....

I won't be silent in the morning now pulling up to base camp.

 

[sonny172cup]

..."sick"

 

[Adam G]

Bled?

 

[sonny172cup]

I see you have 1 less Clio to play with now, only 4 entries in class E now.

 

[Adam G]

Yes somebody realised it had a slightly non standard suspension and ecu. I don't mind some competition in the class as long as it's level.

 

[sonny172cup]

Oh someone got the 182 series clio mixed up? i see Andy Jos has withdrawn too!?

Yeah shame about Andy and the 182 is now where it should be. Whether the officials will have it altered remains to be seen.

Great day yesterday at Silverstone. A slight clerical error had to cars in our class that shouldn't have been fue to being too modified so the "official" result is incorrect. Some really close racing with myself and @bob the builder brought us both huge grins at the end. Rob git past me a couple of times but managed to get him back. Fortunately for me, I got both class wins this time but think the trophy cabinet might not always have firsts in future. Typical that the vid for second race isn't available but hopefully Rob will have some footage. I'll try and upload race 1 later. Big thanks as always to Tony Hunter and Fred and nice to see a bit of a TARC fan club evolving.

 

[Jamie86]

You were going well good to catch up

 

[sonny172cup]

Well done Adam, more trophies to the collection. I still dont understand how cars are in the wring classes! One reason why we need a club rep to check on legibility

 

[bob the builder]

fantastic day as always and the best races of the series.
will get my vids posted up as soon as i can work out how the hell you can put the front and back cameras on the same screen.(i hate computers)lol.
great to see everyone again and meet some new faces and some new racers for next year.

Thanks Sonny and yes definitely time to sharpen everything up and have things in black and white and not open to interpretation.

Cheers mate, can't wait to see them. Really am gutted about not connecting my gopro for the second race.

 

[sonny172cup]

I have just hardwired my gopro in, connected to a separate switchable feed, so no more flat batteries. Still have to physically push the the record button though. (Mk1 gopro)

 

[MattJB]

Was great to meet you Adam and @bob the builder! Looked like you two were having a fantastic 2nd race. Seemed to be swapping positions constantly. (I was the guy quizzing you in the paddock. Hopefully be out with you next year!) It looked like a three horse race to begin with, but Paul(?) seemed to lose touch about half way through, don't know if his tyres started to give in or something.

 

[bob the builder]

heres the vid from race 1 but with no rear cam as i cant work out how to attach it to play at the same time.


this is race 2

 

[imprezaworks]

Go on. Why was that phase 1 so quick?

 

[bob the builder]

which number?
there were 2 cars listed as class e but werent eligible due to mods like coilovers

 

[imprezaworks]

That phase 1 that shot passed and buggered off. That can't be in the same class as you guys surely

 

[Tony Hunter]

The car that wad I listed in your class, was removed before we gave out the results, you were fully aware of this as you were there.
It's not our fault the guy entered into the wrong class is it.
I can't go around to people houses and check their cars before they enter.
Getting cheesed off with some of the negative comments being branded around atm.

Rant over.
Tony

Likewise Matt and as I said any questions, just shout. Yeah race 2 was exactly what I signed up for!

Think that's James's (Mini182) you're on about so Class G Dan. He had some issues in quali so started behind us.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah ok. That looks to be one quick car.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Talking of cameras, Jamie was doing his (in my car) from his mobile phone!! How cool is that.
