Haynes Sprint Track Day - The Media Thread!

[The Boosh!]

Good day and really good value for money. Nice to put faces to names.

Thanks to John (Saner) for sorting it out Excuse the un-imaginative photographs, it was the only place we were allowed to take pictures from, and I only had 55mm focal length

The second before Saner binned it

After said binnage:

Unlucky dude!

More random pictures:

2nd binnage

Daves milage on the trophy:

Took quiet a few, but didn't manage to get everyone's car.

The rest are here:

Love it mate. Looks hardcore.

Stud conversion?

 

[nevsrevs]

good day apart from the bumps, and my poor mates gearbox mount snapping on his williams, spins galore

 

[ForceIndia]

R888's in the damp/cold, on a trackday with very short sessions? Brave/mad, they seem to let go at will when cold! Hope they both get sorted easily.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Christopher - You could say its a little hardcore! But so much fun!

Yeah got a stud conversion, possibly a little long on the stud side but makes changing the wheels soo much easier seeing as I swap wheels over alot!

 

[Matt Cup]

Cools pics, shame about the crashes

And that Trophy! Thats a hell of a lot of miles!!!

 

[Dave..]

Saw Jon binned the saxo on facebook, not good.

 

[Leeshez]

Nooo, that cars is for sale too!

 

[Christopher]

Oops.

 

[The Boosh!]

It is jameses yes put it wasn't really a crash. He just scraped the bumper a little bit - no big deal really

 

[MarkCup]

Saner made it back OK then? Such a shame...organises the day, then has to leave early to get home and beat the fading light.

Good to see everyone as usual. Nice to put forum names to faces...I now know who some of you are!!!

The Ignis continues to impress me, handled all I could throw at it well, and still managed 41mpg over the whole day :approve: Glad a piccy or two were taken :clap:

Great day had think i need some new front tyres..... If the wires showing it means new yeh... LOL i was in the Clio 200 got to learn not to be so aggressive but it was fun no point having a car like that if you aint gonna put it through its paces. I need new tyres so what they have done 11,000 not bad after two track days as well.......... Nice to meet some other enthusiastic clio owners look forward to the next one.

[MancmanRS200]

Great pictures fella.

 

[Impey]

That silver one was my 1st rs clio as well boooooooooo

 

[Tom@JMS]

Bloody hell chaps, few 'incidents'!!

 

[Emma.]

Was great to get the car back out on the track again and nothing fall off this time. Shame about the few bumps in the rain and the poor guy whos engine mount came off. Great day out for the price we paid. Hopefully we can do it again next year

 

[richard1]

Pics look good, sad to hear about the off's... And Blue sky, where was this again? Miles from Sussex I guess?

 

[Ollie82.]

Well im in West Sussex and its in Somerset and approx 110 miles from where i live, so not too far.

The track was a completely different animal after the rain. I think because its not really used alot the surface is very greasy when wet. I've never had the Cup so sideways in the 5 years I've owned it.....having R888's on the front and Yoko AD08's on the rear contributed to it i think!

 

[Budgie]

Gutted about the scrapes and crunches.

If you need a hand with anything on the shed, let me know Jon.

Also, <3 the Trophyshed.

I got a shot of you doing the sideways thing, very graceful .

Video clip to follow...

 

[MarkCup]

Here's a short one, no cars and no marshalls meant I could try a few new angles...

 

[Mr Burns]

Nice video Mark, but why the exhaust? lol

 

[Ollie82.]

[The Boosh!]

[nevsrevs]

[Saner]

[The Boosh!]

Ah mate xxxx

Will paypal you up now

 

[Saner]

lol. its my own stupid fault Cold R888's on a Cold wet track with no run off? Definatly trying to be a hero FTL!

 

[Rob]

Sad to see a few scrapes but it looks like a good day. Have it looking ship shape again soon eh John?

Saxo bits are cheap anyway, and after all, it's why you buy a cheap track car, right?

 

[Tony Hunter]

And people say they dont want to go racing because of the damage lol.Unlucky Saner,you bad boy.

 

[Emma.]

Just gotta wait about a year for photobucket to upload my photos of the day then they will be on!!
