f**k me that's some gravel you collected there. Good job in race one and a spot on qualifying.

Great driving Tony and just matter of time (and luck with others brake lights) before its P1

Thanks guys.
As Jay said, the car was built to detail on the bit's that matter. Pretty doesn't make it go any faster, not that I want to drive around in a shed, but you get what I mean.
It punched well above it's weight yesterday, it shocked a few I believe.

The picture of you and the bucket of gravel is a classic. New avatar right there.
Here's a few pictures I got from the weekend, nothing amazing though.

What other French cars were you competing against this weekend then tony? And will they be at mallory and donington! Lol! They're nice and local for me to attend! Lol!
182cup & 172 racecar
This race was a mix and match Mark, not an official French Trophy race. So it was a free for all.
Yes we are doing Mallory and Donington.
Donny is in October, and is a 3 race meeting.

Is that the one that was described as a btcc spec Clio??? I remember seeing pictures of it in a thread on here somewhere assuming its the same one?
182cup & 172 racecar
Yes, correct. It is the factory ex Collard touring car, he was well gutted, and the Teg behind was over 300bhp!, so the little beast was going well indeed.
182cup & 172 racecar
Nice one fella! Bad luck about the brake lights.....how many have you got?
Nearly hit 3 times in the first race, said he'd fixed them, but no. Wasn't expecting that at all.
I might get Jay to put a switch in lol.

Yep, European Touring Car. Sadev sequential box, running about 230+ bhp when we spoke to Matt Potter the owner. Nice car, shame the TDF wiring loom meant no brake lights
Lol at me in photos 3 and 4, for clarification I was sorting Tonys harness. Not trying to sit on his lap, as much as he'd like me to do that

I hope the chap didn't pay the 50k price tag Matt originally wanted for it...

Ps. Mark - sorry chap, haven't sent that file yet, but I haven't forgotten

Current owner didn't buy it, he partially built it. It didn't sell when advertised. So he's sunk a lot more than £50k into it

iir TDF spec was 240?... I've read something similar before... hmmm

I don't disagree with you Dan, just what he said when we spoke to him.
The guys owned it 10 years apparently, only just got it 'ready to compete' with. Nice guy, though his arrogant mate is not so.
Was funny to see a 230bhp touring car Clio with a Sadev and a turbocharged 300bhp Honda Integra struggle to shake a rather simple road converted clio race car!

I think this all goes to show what a cracking job Tony, Jay and Dan have done to make this car with limited budget.

Liar, you was fiddling with me walnut whip.

In response to Meek - It does, it was great to see two clios at the front of the grid, with such mixed metal out there. The owner was a nice guy, and Tony, him and the Integra were having some good tussles at the front in both races. Good racing.

I would certainly recommend it for fun racing, that's for sure.
On the Podium, they wanted us to shower the Champagne, we all agreed, stuff that, it's for drinking.

And this is the Civic that rearranged the rear wheel arch and 1/4 panel. Thanks for that!
Well done mate! Is the car OK? Wish I had been able to make it but I have just got home (from working in Turkey). We are out with CSCC on Monday 6th and there are another 5 Clios out with us. I might do french trophy Combe in my 106 as I dont want to risk missing Thruxton 6 days later in CSCC in the Clio.
I think the "rather simple" road car has long gone!
182cup & 172 racecar
Yes car's fine, the panel popped out, (again) and a hammer on the wheel arch, all's good to go.
106? scared i'll beat you
.Shame you weren't there Ian, they would have had a double shock.

Got to watch this from about 3min. MK2 Escort out in full forest spec with some tarmac tyres chucked on. He had great fun.
