Couple of track pics :)



  182 Cup
Some pics I gathered from Monday, the track time was great fun and the car really surprised me to be honest. Unlike my old 106 I felt more confident, the car is really chuckable.

The little ginger kid is loving it.

Basically once I get the door sorted, ive got Eibachs to go on. Thinking about removing the fogs and routing a cold air feed to an enclosed induction kit, and also want a towing eye of some sort on the front.

Anyone got pics of a clio with fogs removed and a towing eye lowered slightly?? Cheeeers.

  182 Cup
He lasted til the end of the session, I complained he was banned from the rest of the day, should have been black flagged way before though. Ive gathered some quotes throughout the forums as ive considered complaining to the circuit about the standard of marshalling...

'Twas me in the black Gti with the t**t in the Senator getting in my way before he took out that Clio'

'Yeah he was driving like a c**k. Seen him down there at most of the trackdays this year, but that was the first time I've been on the track with him.

I kept going up the inside of him when he was drifting round the hairpin but he kept cutting my nose off into paddock bend. I was running shitty fuel saver tyres so didn't have much grip and wasn't going to brake too hard on entry to paddock.

It was the first time I've taken my wife out with me and she was well scared of that t**t!'

'The state of Marshalling was an absolute disgrace'

'It never would have happened at Brands!'
(Ferg - 106owners.co.uk)

'http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b236/tommyboi_21/DSCF2156a.jpg
That the culprit? Was driving like a t**t.'
(corsa_power - corsasport.co.uk)

'I turned up, and the first session I saw and that goon was out. Both me and Rach said he was driving out of control. He had spun out twice in one session prior to hitting you.'

'The bloke was a f**king pleb Butler, I knew he was going to be involved in something it's just a shame it had to be you'

'There is a thread on Northloop with everyone complaining about the standard of driving and the fact that the briefing was an A4 sheet of paper and no formal briefing given.'

'The organisation was a disgrace.'
(Ojc - corsasport.co.uk)

'I can also vouch for how much of a c**k he was being. If he wanted to drift he should to DWYB at Santa Pod and not a track session. Certainly have some respect around other cars worth 10x more if you can't help yourself. Penis.'
(Graham88 - corsasport.co.uk)

'From talking to various people the briefing is a joke.'
(Fad - corsasport.co.uk)

'One of mates went yesterday and he saw what happened to you he was in a white mk 2 escort running an xe said that his mate nearly went up to the guy and thumped him for being such a dick.'
(Cole - corsasport.co.uk)

'Also agree with the chavfest coment. Would have been too scared to go on the track, looked like there were no rules or even obeying the flags.'
(Ryan1286 - cliosport.co.uk)

'Some real idiotic driving on track!'

'That senator was driving like an idiot all day, blocking overtakes and cutting people up mid overtake, drifting when people were alongside too!'
(MistaT - cliosport.net)

'It was scary how aggressive and lacking in track day manners some of the other drivers were.. in particular a silver BMW 740 (with child in passenger seat) and 200sx drifting very close to other cars'

'I definitely won't be going back as it was full of chavs and queuing up to get onto the track was a joke! Oh and the track was covered in rubber from the drifters so not a great surface.'

'Butler - I watched you earlier on in the day and it looked like you were going well. Bad luck with the Senator incident but as said at least it was only a door damaged. Still very annoying. On any normal track day drifters would be black flagged!'
(wildwood - cliosport.net)

'Organisation was crap. My mate was out on track in a silver 106 GTI (went off with fuel line failure) about half 3. They let on 4 cars right in front of him and ended up with 41 cars on the track when there's only supposed to be 20. And they didn't even let people know what the flags meant. The stands were too close to eachother too. And don't get me started on the queues for food!'
(cafcross- cliosport.net)

'The show was awful, the tracktime looked thoroughly hectic and it was over an hours queueing to get in for most people!!! Definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone!'

'Tracktime had no briefing or rules, you just signed and got a wristband. People were driving like idiots in pretty much every session, flagging was random and sporaddic, several people should have been black flagged but were allowed to continue!

It was so disorganised that a few of my mates got extra free track sessions by simply queuing up and driving onto the track session!!!'

'The show has huge potential to be a great quality show with a good reputation, good cars and stands etc but unfortunately the organisers obviously aren't really that bothered about quality and just wanted to sell as many tickets as possible and cram as many people as possible into the venue, albeit at a slow rate.'
(Hammerzeit - northloop.co.uk)

'That guy in the smoking Nova was really winding me up - where were the marshalls?'

Thats it mate, everyone ive spoken to says it could have been avoided had the marshalls done their job properly.

Only takes one t**t,

If it's an open pit lane I find that it's best to stagger your runs if you find a t**t on track, obiously you shouldn't have to but . . .

Nice pics too, they look much better when the backgound is all blurry :approve:
 
  182 Cup
Basically, I was going well on track, caught up with senator which was followed by a 106 GTI at the time, got round the 106 and first bend into behind the senator I think he is letting me by as he takes a wide entrace into a corner, he then throws the car into a drift and cuts me up, and spins right infront of me. It was the first id seen the senator so had no idea how much of a tit he was driving, only after I came off the track I had everyone telling me. :(

Car looks brilliant out on track, I'd have gone to rip the guys head off if he were pissing about like that, by the sound of it there were plenty of people who'd have backed you up.

Is there much damage?

  Clio 182 FF
Finally stopped being gay and admitting the Cup is better than the 106 bucket....phew was starting to think you were a proper bender :p

Good effort before the incident though :)
 
  330Ci (Fail)Sport
Nice pics mate, shame your day was ruined. Any details of him to sue him for the amount of the damage?
 
  182 Cup
I dont think hes liable for anything since it were out on track, its really the marshalls im angry with for not taking the guy off.

Fad the 106 was better on track but for whats its worth the clio was very good especially for a standard car.

Got a nice dent in the door hence my threads looking for a new one, polished off the black plastic form the guys bumper today, suppose it looks acceptable. Hate driving round in a dented car though, makes me look bad.
 
  Stagecoach Ticket
Lydden hill Unfortunatly have a massive disclaimer on the track so you cant claim damages. Glad to c you made the track in time then tryed to catch up with you later on in the day but only saw the batterd cup :(

was a good day alot of people turned out.
 
  182 Cup
Mate were you the guy that let me in the que?? Absolute legend, couldnt believe how long the ques were. I owe you one bud.

Saw you out on track....looked good. The Clios looked so composed going round the corners....most of the rest were squealing and coming out really slowly.

At least you didn't go off like the Sierra Cossie did. Nice lot of damage to his front! That Mini next to you was mental....think that was his slower one too (only 150bhp compared to 180bhp in the other identical one iirc).
