@Filters if you do tuituin laps you can socialise at the same time by calling everyone a useless c**t! 😂

Thats how he greets most people, wait until you upset him by using the brakes.

 

[Touring_Rob]

If you insist!

On a serious note, if you'd all take tuition over hotlaps, leave a like on this and we can look in to making it happen for next year.
I've raced both front and rear wheel drive with plenty of wins in both, 2022 GT4 Vice Champion and 2023 Clio Vice Champion so happy to pass on my knowledge 👍

I mean I would yes, but can appreciate some people are coming without cars and going out with you (or with Rowe this year) must be a highlight for them.

I think most people were falling asleep in the megane having been physically abused in the Caterfield.

I need some pointers on where I can be better. Ill not say faster as I am not competing. Just "better"

I am working on getting some telemetry feedback as I cant tell which is a better line at the minute and downloading the logs when I have done 20 laps is pointless as I cant remember one from the next.

Someone calling me some naughty names and get in the sea will help

Just walked in the door!

Had a great 2 days after CSF on the island to chill out.

So, Thursdays birthday meal ended up with the wife having suspected food poisoning as she was literally throwing up on the drive back home from the restaurant.

fair play to her though she manned up and headed over on the Friday with her still being sick in a bowl in the car the whole journey.

Got to Anglesey about 7:45 and then it hit me that I still had to put the tent up which I hadn’t even test fitted.

Lo and behold @JamesBryan appears like a knight in shining armour, wildering his tent peg kit!
ALAS! the tent is up in no time.
I then realised the air bed needs to be pumped up and all I have is a manual foot pump which with each press gives out the faintest of puffs.
Me and James tag team on it and eventually get the bloody thing inflated.

By this time everyone else was already pretty much on their merry way so I had a quick walk around and popped out to get some food.
Got back the the circuit and called it a night as I wanted to be up early.

HOWEVER… it turns out this suspected food poisoning is not what it seems!
I woke up at least 10 times in the night, sweating my tits off and heaving to no provail.

Come 7am I’d had about 2 hours sleep and felt like the life had been sucked out of me.

I managed to get to the sign on and briefing (you prob saw me with my hood up and head down - not to be seen) and got in like for the sighting laps for the AM session.

By this time, the wife felt perfectly fine and I was not impressed.

There was no way I was going to be able to get out on track in the morning with how I was feeling so I got back in the sack and went to sleep.

I heard lunchtime was called so I mustered up some will power and got back in line for the sighting laps for the PM session.
Feeling ok-ish I got out there and went full send, making up for lost time in the morning.

After the track time had ended I dipped in will power and again returned to the sack.
I did manage to speak with a few but I felt that dog s**t that all I could think about was getting my head down.

What I did hear though was all of you lovely bunch having a great time and for the parts that I can remember when not on track it was an absolutely fantastic weekend.

We will definitely be there again next year and definitely recommend Anglesey to anybody who has not been before.

Thanks CS team for what is a truly amazing event.

PS. @Krarl i smoked you even when ill 😂

 

[Filters]

Sadly mate, I have to think of my own pocket next year. I've done hotlaps for three years now and I foot the entire bill each time (which I don't begrudge at all!) but it really is a lot of effort to pull it off and leaves me with zero time to catch up with people that've been mega to me over the years! Prime example, didn't get to catch up with you all day or take your VX220 out 🤷‍♂️ missed @Brigsy and the extra van which I'd of loved to of had a go in. Come the evening I'm done in.

If the club/clubs can cover the cost of hiring a race car for me to take folk out in, or if someone donates a car for me to pedal then I can make it happen.
Without that next year, I'm afraid it's just not going to be possible.

 

[Krarl]

I'm still at the track waiting for that lift @LeeRS 🥲👀🤣

I'll donate 20 quid to charity if you try and get in. Extra tenner if you get stuck and the fire brigade get called

I'm like a cat, did you not see me get folded into a f**king sofa bed last year like I was a little burrito?🤣🤣

As if!
I completely forgot about that but I can genuinely say I was probably fast asleep or sobbing into my pillow.

It's all good mate, it didn't sit right with me expecting a lift from someone I'd never met nor had I seen all day anyway🤣

"Hi mate my name's Kyle. I know it's midnight and both of you have been shitting through the eye of a needle for the past 12 hours but could I have a lift please?"🤣🤣

 

[LeeRS]

I still would have took you.

@JamesBryan was amazed I rose like the phoenix at lunchtime to get some laps in and then deteriorate like a wet fart immediately after track closed 😂

@JB21 good to meet you to mate. Hope the trailer reversing went well!

 

[andybond]

Can confirm uploading 1500+ images in batches of 30 to the shop for you lot to purchase is not fun.

Prepare to liberate your £s please as this is going to charity.

I will let you know when they are uploaded. Hopefully it will be before CSF2025

Savage. Some major shade just thrown this way.

I am using the equivalent of a VX220 with the handbrake on it appears.

 

[MrBlonde]

Typical,win a feck off Toblerone and then get home to find the other half has bought me two also.

They look bloody tiny and there the big ones😯

 

[Touring_Rob]

4.5KG 😂

 

[MrBlonde]

Im gonna need an angle grinder!.and a new set of teeth.All i kept thinking on the drive home was,Please dont melt please dont melt 😆

Ironically the (Lotus) handbrake cable snapped the day before leaving. I really hate cars sometimes.

Only sometimes?

I despise working on mine.

 

[MrBlonde]

Has there ever been talks of doing more than one event a year?.maybe a North & South meet?

 

[LeeRS]

I would be keen to book a general track day with a group of us at any track.

Happy to organise this if enough interest.

 

[MrBlonde]

What tracks in the south region could we use?.i dont track mine but just enjoy being there seeing the cars & chatting to everyone,so i wouldnt know what a good track would be that people track there cars on.

A couple of us head to Castle Combe now and again, there's a lovely little campsite 20 mins down the road with private pitches . Fires are encouraged, there's also a few pods, shepherd huts and bell tents for those too posh to set their own tent up.

I'm considering making it a regular thing and pushing it through the club as a "Not so invitational, invitational" event 👍
There's already a few members on here who are up for it and there's a lot of us who don't get to catch up as much as we'd like.

That sounds great mate,maybe start a thread and see what interest there would be.

 

[MrBlonde]

Anglesey could be the main one,then have a mini one and then see how that goes.Would be nice to have a North & South,as obvs the commute is to much for some people on either side.So gives others another chance who dont want to drive that far.So may get more attend who just want to come for just the day track or just to spectate.

 

[piranhamatt]

I'm like 30 minutes off Combe so i'd be biased for the location (But done it too many times!). But what about SIlverstone, Donnington etc?

 

[Daniel]

Anyone else have an absolute stinker of a cold after @MarkCup got in their car at the weekend??

Dirty germ ridden nonce. He’s ruined my week.

*edit - he did make my weekend though. Getting praise from the driving guru was an awesome feeling.

 

[Filters]

It's about 45 mins from me but ironically, I've only driven there a handful of times!

Silverstone days are massively expensive now - You're looking at £350 minimum for a day on the National circuit and £630 for a day on the GP circuit.
Donington have bumped prices up to around £325 for the day.

Where as Combe is £180 for the day - £25 a night for the campsite and everyone sounds like they're @Daniel
It's great!

 

[MrBlonde]

Putting this one out there....

A few days at the Nurburg??.would be mega road trip all going over.

I guess we would agree on a date then upto yourself on booking tunnel/hotels etc.

That's already sorted, it's just invite only IIRC......

@The Norwegian will be able to confirm 😅

It’s not invite only. I’m happy to share the dates / weekend we’re planning to be over there and people can book their accommodation etc.

More the merrier. Will be more straightforward in 2025 as we’re only really planning on being in and around the ‘ring, as opposed to this year where we were all over the place.

It’s also not a “CS event”. Half the people who went last year, aren’t even on the forum / part of the club.

 

[Krarl]

Lets face it, half the people who express interest in coming to the ring would flap it last minute anyway

 

[Filters]

in and around the ‘ring

Sounds saucy, send details babes x

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I’m happy to share the dates

I don’t even know them yet 🤣

Will likely be around April / May, deliberately so it doesn’t clash with CSF later in the year. CSF is the priority for me next year, I haven’t been to the last two and it’s gutting. Looks like a great event was had again this year.

You'll be on holiday again, I guarantee it.

 

[Mr Underhill]

I think there must have been an event on before we got there, all slicks or something. Track was absolutely coated in rubber 😂

I'm at Croft next Monday. BTCC was there at the weekend. Yikes!

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Wouldn't mind doing Brands

 

[Brigsy]

Depending on dates id be up for combe. Been years since ive driven it.
