Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build



  182cup & 172 racecar
I think the front is 350kg each side and the rear is 125kg each side corner weighted
total 950kg's with driver and 3/4 tank of fuel.

What kit do you mean,AST's? yes fine.

Not long till Donington now. An even stronger field than at Brands. 2x Ex BTCC 306's entered and a BTCC Race winner (Mike Jordan) in one of the Intergras, will be an interesting day.

We have some track time on Friday afternoon to try and sort out the poor balance and for me to learn the circuit. Only ever been there once as a spectator back in 2005

Depending how things go, it might be about 2ish. Quick dash up the m1. What's spectating like there? In or outfield?

It's been terrible rain for most of the day here guys....

But when the sun breaks out it's drying up pretty quick!
 
Cracking day again. Jay's race report will give more detail, but we qualified 11th then finished 6th! The car looked like it was handling awesome, and for once Jay and Tony sounded properly pleased with it.

We were lucky with the weather too, it pissed it down around midday, but it was sunshine for the race :)

I did get distracted by the Ferrari's between quali and the race, hence why there's quite a few pics in the gallery!

Might was well post a few here too :)

I had heard that the lads pulled off a 6th place in an action packed race. Awesome job. Look forward to reading the write up! :)

Top day guys... Shame the race ended the way it did, the silver Clio had a right smack in the back end!

You seemed to be making good pace before that! :)

Thanks to Jay and Tony for the ticket to come and watch!
