CSF25 ClioSport Festival 2025 - Book Tickets Now!

[dann2707]

Absolutely mint weekend as usual. Thanks to all the organisers

Great to see those who I met a while ago and new people the same such as @Scrooge @MLB @Clart @Cads @Mr Trailer Man @Liamm and I'll definitely have missed some but it was a right laugh.

Do massively apoligise for lowering the tone chatting about excess amounts of foreskin for pretty much the majority of the weekend but that's just the way the foreskin rolls.

 

[Clart]

Everyone loves foreskin chatter

 

[Adey.]

drive up with the clique was great, and the few hours I was there in the morning were good too

Big thanks to everyone involved for getting this on and done year after year

 

[Clio_fool]

Well that's anothe one survived. The evenings are definitely more sedate these days but that doesn't diminish how fantastic the CSF weekend is. Huge thanks to the admin team for all the hard work that goes into organising it all 👍.
The drive up from Hereford with the southern clique on Friday was great, excluding my range anxiety when the car said I had 12 miles of range left 😂. It was a pleasure catching up with everyone however fleeting it was and yes I did leave my balls at home and leave the M2 the safe side of the pit wall. Next year I'll just leave it at home.

 

[Cub.]

Had an awesome time, great to see so many of you and catch up.

Huge thanks to @Nik @Brian @Sunglasses_Ron @Owen and the organising team. They work their backsides off all year, with loads of background admin no one sees. Then set it all up so we can enjoy it, then pack it all up again on Sunday.

Absolute heroes. X

Just pulled up to the chateau.

Having spent 2 nights sleeping in the back of the x5, this was a pleasant site.
(Internet here is crap so will upload images later)

Again, had a great day after misfortune with the clutch.
That just proves how good of an event it is.
If that were a normal trackday I would have spat my dummy out and just gone home.

@Danith great to meet you but your brakes stink!

Phil (red mr2) don’t know your name on here - top bloke as always.

James Bryan don’t know your trailer name anymore to tag you - legend as always and Brett - not sure if he is on here.

Cs admins and mods aswell - hats off to you guys this is a get together that I wouldn’t miss for the world and I’m already looking forward to next year.

Did speak to a lot of you guys but no good with names. It was a pleasure.

few days left on the island and then back to fixing the clio.

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Just got back to the hotel in Bangor after a long walk along the beach.

I think this years event was the best one yet. The paddock was crazy busy all day and we absolutely smashed the amount raised for the charity.

It’s a shame that nobody stayed around for the band but I also appreciate that you all like to do your own thing in the evening,

We had some feedback from last year staying that there wasn’t anything happening in the evening so we booked a band this year. (albeit they were cheap 😂).

Next year we will conclude the festivities after the raffle and reconvene in the bar once all the kit is packed away.

Special thanks to @Cub. @Daniel & @Cads for helping set up on Friday and @Mbeau @Iain C who both stuck around until nearly midnight last night helping to pack everything away. Cheers Mark for helping me finish the never ending keg of lager! 😂

It was an absolute pleasure meeting both of you.

So many thank you’s to make.

@Krarl and @ForceIndia for coming good on their bets and donating £50 to the charity.

@Myfanwyi and Paul Brandrick for doing the hot laps.

Sir Dave and Will for the raffle prizes.

Anyone else who I’ve forgotten that either donated a raffle prize or helped out setting up or packing away.

Uber special thanks to @Brian @Nik @Owen and Rob who work their b****cks off for the best part of a year to get this event off the ground.

And thanks to everyone for coming. Couldn’t happen without you all.

Chateau Rhianfa?

 

[Nickw88]

@Tighten My Nuts Managed to get a nice scenic shot for you

 

[.Joe]

Started the import from the camera, looking like ~5200 photos to go through from the track time

 

[lee M4RSH]

Chateau Rhianfa?

Yep 👍

 

[lee M4RSH]

@chris blue my wife was having a good chinwag with your wife on the pit wall.

Good to see you out there yesterday enjoying yourself - she told us about the incident you had a few years back.

I may have told her a couple of times when red flagged that I think it’s the red 197….

Also saw your car today on the car park for plas newydd national trust. We also visited 👍

 

[Clart]

Driving standard was very courteous and the red flags were handled quickly.

The marshall at the top of the hill at rocket did like his blue flag 😂

That same marshal black flagged me as somehow managed to spot (through the windscreen) that @Matt Cup was wearing a “skirt” 😂 The irony being that I hadn’t even noticed 🤣 Eyes of an eagle that one!

 

[RustyMojo]

Well what a weekend, thanks to the whole admin team, supporters and everyone that made a fabulous event run so seamlessly.

It wasn’t without its self imposed stresses! Holidaying in the arse end of Cornwall, returning on the Friday meant a 13 hour drive. Buying a car unseen the week before CSF…but I’m pleased to say that with only a tiny annoyance, the car was great! Thanks to @Scrooge for giving me a lift to ECP! Thanks to everyone who took time out to make Toby feel so welcome and treat him like a grown up. Special thanks to @SharkyUK for taking him out in the GT4. He is absolutely Porsche mad and has started on his mother as soon as we walked through the door. Telling her how much of a sound investment one would be and how brilliant a car it is!

Big love to everyone, sorry I only chatted with so few and could only get so many passenger laps in. Genuinely I am amazed so many of you wanted to spend time in the mini 😂

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

Admins and mods (the ones that turned up) put on a great event as usual

It was good to put even more faces to names this year. Apologies if I didn't speak to people or seemed fucked off, that's because I was🤣🤣

Looking forward to next year already 🫡

Did it not go fully ok then?

We had a brief chat in the morning and then when I saw you doing some test drives in the paddock you gave me a thumbs up.

Was talking to @dann2707 and @Liamm in the bar and saw you sat there looking a bit naffed off 🫤

He loved a flag, I got blue flagged after I’d just overtaken the car he was blue flagging me over 😂 also got black flagged because @Jonnio was in shorts

 

[Matt Cup]

That was supposed to be between me, you and the gatepost 🤫 😂

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

Just got home, unpacked, time to catch up and say thank you to everyone involved and especially anyone I didn't personally thank before I left last night, awesome efforts from everyone, these events continue to get slicker 👏👏👏

Spent so much time driving and chatting that I only took 3 photos the entire day, and the only one that's worthy of posting is this one...



Mad that I've been in this place almost from the beginning!

As for my teeny little faux pas, I have no words, and only one smiley needed

🖕

I'll update my thread when I get 2 mins. Saves clogging this one😅

 

[Myfanwyi]

Finally home... What a weekend!

The Megane was faultless all day, considering it was only purchased recently I had no idea how she'd perform and well.. for a road car, fook me 😂 she went!
Bigger intercooler needed as the inlet temps were high, coilovers on order already - so next year she'll be back with a vengeance.

For once, I managed to get a few passenger rides in with @Flob and @Krarl
Credit where credit is due, brilliant drivers. Rob had me in stitches the entire time, that VX is something else.
Where as Kyle just got faster and faster, good effort mate!

A huge thank you as ever to all of the staff for putting on a blinder of a weekend 🙏 none of your hard work goes unnoticed, legends!

A special mention is due for @Mr_wababobobob who was out in my megane for parts of the day and as well as coaching a few of you in your cars. Thank you to all the members who made him feel like he was part of the club.

Until next year ✌️💛🖤



P.S C&C - bellwiffs.

 

[ChrisR]

Sounds good, I might actually make it to one of these next year.

Paul Brandrick from Diamond Performance? If I knew he was doing hot laps I’d have made it there! Haha.

Pulled a few from the pit lane, i'm yet to make it to any of the track time Yet

The depth of field has made the car look like a toy that Cub's about to pick up and put in his pocket.

That ph1 is right up my street 😍

That's mine! 🙋‍♂️

Flogged it around track all day and it didn't give me any issues at all, despite being put together by me!

I've got to say I really enjoyed it this year, everyone was super friendly and happy to chat. I can't wait to come back next year!

Lovely looking car, best colour for them after flame red of course 😋

 

[Coby.]

Looks like a great weekend.

I think Snetterton would make a great hosting spot next year 👀

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I've not been to many but I'm not sure that any other track beats Anglesey tbh for the views - and it's only an hour away from me 😂

 

[Grandpa Joe]

@Daniel - is that your boy driving out on track?

Changing of the guard

 

[KitsonRis]

Echoing others, I enjoyed myself. Thank you for organising. Hope next year I’ll be able to hang around for longer!

I agree with @Ay Ay Ron and keep it at Anglesey.

Shame about the beemer. Looked mint. Did you get recovered home?

 

[Andyej257]

Was brilliant weekend we both enjoyed it thank you everyone 😊

Limped home fine. Had to coast over the Menai bridge due to traffic but thankfully it was downhill!
