Nice idea but im sure it would be up to admin as to weather they would want to. Im sure Tony will look into it

There are NO stickers on the car unless we get something. Thats why there aint a CS one on there already. Its no fair on the people who have kindly helped us out

I think its worth him asking the question to be honest. Yes there are lots of people on here who say they will chip in then wont, but that said i think there are a fair few who will.

Its got to be worth a thread to see what response it gets.

11th October 2010 - Snetterton Prep



Snetterton is our last race meeting this year and we have decided to take a setup gamble.

We fitted some stiffer front springs and refitted the rear anti roll bar. We haven't been able to use the roll bar since changing to the Dunlop tyres as the car has a slight oversteer balance as it was. This varies from circuit to circuit so having the roll bar in play gives us some quick and simple setup adjustments

After the cooling fan made a bid for freedom at Silverstone we had to secure it a little better

Another job that needed to be done was to fit a handbrake. We have raced all year without but were told at Silverstone that the car should have one. Straightforward job

The rain light decided to fall off at Renault World Series so it was binned and the 3rd brake light has been rewired to take its place



A job we have been meaning to do for months is to finish the fuel lines. Some aluminium finishers tidied them up nicely.

We have bought a proper car trailer. Up until now we have been using a massive flatbed trailer that is normally used for transporting tractors and diggers around. A proper, lightweight car trailer is going to make life so much easier. We tried it out for size

So there we are. All ready for the weekend

trailer should make things easier!

the rain light fell off?? as in it accidently got beaten off by Tony? ;)

No not this time Dave,looked in the mirror at World series and it was like a furry dice swinging in the breeze,so out it came.It won't claim anymore scalp skin now.

I was thinking how happy Jay would be as he's been wanting to take it out for ages,I only wanted to keep it as it took hours of fabrication,and it was one of my first welding jobs,lol.
To much skin has been lost to save it anyway.

Another day filled with ups and downs. Finished both races. Its a hard circuit to learn, surprisingly. (to race on I mean)

There were loads of retirments, mechanical problems and panel damage during the races. We were not exempt from it all. Had an end of term atmosphere out there today.


Quali: 12th
Race 1: 14th
Race 2: 8th


will do the 'story' tomorrow. Just got to wait for Dan's pics
 
Not sure when exactly it happened, some point in race 2 as Jay and Tony said the car had a clunking noise! So they were racing for quite a bit with it like that :eek:
