[Aug 1, 2015] ClioSport Saturday 2015 (Blyton, Gainsborough)

[Cub.]

I also found the driving standards very high in terms of peoples manners on track. I have a few vids demonstrating this that i'll stick in the media thread later.
Includes footage of @Matthew @rctempire amongst others.

Completely agree with what has been said about the format, it was bang on! I honestly cant think of anything I'd of changed to improve it.

I certainly wouldn't wanna be in Admin's shoes next year, because they have their work cut out to top CSS15

They need to sort the weather out. Little less rain would be appreciated.

 

[Chris91]

Thanks for a good weekend all.
Had a passenger lap with Pacman and it was a pretty terrifying experience.
Shame go karting wasn't on a bit longer, missed out!

Does anyone know who owned the Liquid Yellow 197 that was parked down near the fairground ride?

I believe it had red wing mirrors?

Hes on 197.net his name is Krash67

 

[leeds_182]

As said, track conduct was excellent.

[Andy93]

Who's was the diesel Astra van? That thing was going fairly well, was funny catching his smokescreen first then the car a few corners later! Haha

 

[leeds_182]

No smoke no poke!

Who's was the evo?

 

[Cropper]

No smoke no poke!

Who's was the evo?

Not sure, got a good a telling off by the marshals though!

 

[Ben]

What did the Edition 30 get a black flag for?

 

[Daniel]

What did the Edition 30 get a black flag for?

For being able to launch off the line like nothing else all day.
Went like a kicked cat!

 

[leeds_182]

Any feedback from the venue? We're they happy with how we all behaved?

 

[DaveDreads]

I wonder if the warden was pissed off we weren't all in bed by 11:30 like he told us?

I haven't had a bed time since I wore a school uniform ffs.

We spoke to Jane Usher on Sunday morning and they were more than happy with how it all went .

It wasn't a bedtime curfew you lunatic lol it was a noise curfew. The music had to be off by 1130 😂

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I remember shouting at the band singer that he had 2 minutes left and to play another song. Bet he thought I was a right gimp

Just as well I was just getting started at 11:30, I could still hold conversations and everything.

Look at the state of you! lol
I honestly thought they were just going to play to a tent full of people getting pissed and staring blankly at them, they really got everyone off their arses and dancing, although I think the heavy drinking had a part to play in that too.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Track conduct was superb in pm session too. Part of the reason I go.... llandow burpspeed day was the same. Everyone's respectful of each other. Don't have to worry about idiots smashing past you mid corner!

Still buzzing from the weekend. I want another! Lol

 

[Typhoon]

@Sunglasses_Ron was in his element.

That pic was taken at 11:20, if you think I look bad there, you should see the ones taken at 3:00 with Gus and Dan....not good...lol!

Couple of us were saying after the band that even they looked like they genuinely enjoyed playing to us. Bet they were dreading playing to a load of Clio enthusiasts in a tent lol

662 photos from the weekend

[slammed 66]

Yes there will be :up:

Any news on the official photographs @Sunglasses_Ron ?

Thanks

Nothing yet Ross.

Had to let you past a few times bud! That Pug was flying!

A lovely car! [emoji4]

 

[imprezaworks]

Tbh though a lot of the weirdos dont normally come to this kinda thing. They are more of the computer side of things asopposed to the actual social events side of things. IMO.

I am kind of weird :/

Liked them on Facebook and they liked my comment saying how good it was and thanks for playing. Hopefully we can use them again next year although they will need to learn some Chas 'n' Dave for Ron.

 

[Pacman.]

I reckon we could afford to get Chas and Dave as well next year

With the one exception of one blue mobile chicane,driver must have been asleep during the briefing.

No Mike's (Stokie4ker) car stopped working and had to taken home by the AA, he came off track after hammering it round, turned it off, when he turned it back on it went mental and was revving all weird, then it wouldn't turn over at all.

It was weird, had been ragging it around in the morning session, had a drive to Tesco to fill up with fuel as I had emptied a whole tank by 2pm and hammered it hard in the afternoon session with no issues.
Come off track when it closed at 5pm and let it cool down and that was it. No more play time for me 😞
If anyone has pics of my car, the black 182 with reg BP04 FHE, I'd love to see them as I'm curious about well I was going compared with the fast boys.

Thanks to the admin staff for putting on a great event. I had a chat with Kirsty and said that last year I kept hearing people moaning about it being rubbish but this year all I heard was people being really enthusiastic about the whole day.

Sorry I turned into such a grumpy Guss when my car broke and I'm truly grateful to Cub, Alex, Adam and everyone else who tried to help.
The guy on Sunday though,who kept getting in the AA mans way and asking stupid questions and at one point closed the door onto the AA mans head as he was looking at the fuses can go and sit in a deep pool of poo oo:.

It took about 4 hours drive to drop the car off at the garage. Thankfully Dave from Brosport was able to come and open up on the Sunday afternoon so I could leave the Clio there and pick my Focus up.

As for suggestions for next year, I think the guys did a bang on job so the same all over again but maybe at a different circuit. I suggested Angelsey to Nik so we could party on the beach after :beers:.
I think traders are missing out not being there. If they came with all the kit to set up peoples suspension I think they'd make a killing. I'm thinking 3D geo and corner weights. Even better if they had, say, a set of Billies and something like Gaz Gold or KW V2 they could temporarily fit to your car. You go out, do a few laps, come in and see if you want to buy a new set from their stand and have them fitted there and then. I suspect a lot of people wouldn't be able to resist the upgrade once they had been on track with quality suspension set up correctly.

Blue 197 with reg starting PJ07? I was on his bumper for a lap and a half before he let me past.

No, I believe it was a Monaco 172 with lots of stickers!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Yeah. That's the one.
Its in my video. Pulled straight over for me though.

 

[Knuckles]

No, I believe it was a Monaco 172 with lots of stickers!

And Lexus lights?

I don't remember any problems when we were behind him.


...but then we weren't travelling warp speed lol

 

[RMDavis]

Both me and @KrisRS182 were watching the PM session from the bank, and both commented on how that Monaco 172 never moved over!

Gutted I never met up with you mate. After our long xbox live chat was looking forward to meeting you!

Pics of your trophy on track look superb. It went well!

Next time..... [emoji106]

Same here bud. Was a shame not to catch up!
I saw your's on track, looked lovely! I kept on trying to hear out for a heavy welsh accent, lol!

Lol. Yeah.
Cheers
Was a bit over enthusiastic with heel n toe coming into ushers corner! You'd have probably heard, ha ha. Having to brake so hard into it it's hard not to over rev the heel n toe. [emoji5] more practice required

I did come in a bit quick at ushers once and decided to take the scenic route, rather than take the bend and end up in gravel trap [emoji14] Ha ha. Dunno if you saw that. Will see if I can do a bloopers video [emoji106]

 

[STEVE.M]

Yeah. That's the one.

Must have been a lucky moment as a consequence of its challenging handling.
