I myself wish Josh the best of luck for the up and coming season and hope many of you will follow his progress throughout..

[Adam.]

[Kyle 86]

Good luck josh ill be there at brands braving the cold and cheering you on mate

 

[Chip-mk1]

Fingers crossed he has everything sorted as I know he had a throttle body issue, although it might have been a customer car, cause he was asking for a spare one near brands the other day.

Good luck Josh

 

[Luke.]

That was his car that was going into limp mode..

He finished P5 in testing earlier but suffered a VVT problem..

 

[Chip-mk1]

Fingers crossed it behaves for him on the day, would have thought he was a pretty good bet for the championship if the car stays working, what with that huge excess of driving talent he seems to have?

 

[Luke.]

Hopefully so.. We will see..

 

[McGherkin]

Best of luck to him, not that he needs it!

 

[Drafting]

Good to see Bushell on pole!!! ( go on mate )

 

[Alex H]

He finished P5 in testing earlier but suffered a VVT problem..

Should be giving andy_con a ring, he's the man for timing belts and VVT sprockets.

I was a bit thrown today when the program kicked off, I was looking for a black car! Nobody said he'd changed colour!

Shame about the ''accident'' but s**t happens. Learn from it and move on!

Clio cup is still the best action in a race series!! Very good to watch.

Lol i was expecting a black car also he drove great in race 1 and was so unlucky not to win, i never see what happened on the warm up lap when he had a moment, but the Clio Cups are fantastic. Ive seen them a few times and they never fail to disappoint

 

[Poopensharten]

He drove really well today i thought!

The stance on the Cup cars looks brilliant.

 

[Ash87]

First race was awesome, bad luck on the second but plenty more points to be had. Thanks for the hospitality yest Josh

 

[Cooksport]

Thanks for all the support guys!

Now for my excuse for crashing before I even got to the grid, straight out the racing drivers handbook;

Basically we are running a ridiculously lively setup, which no one else is running

Its very fast, but a handful to say the least.

Track temperature was about 2deg, these slicks are like driving on ice when cold (no exaggeration)..let alone with this setup.

I was accelerating through the box (just touched 3rd), moved right then left (not weaving) and the back came round. I hit the lock stop straight away and sadly ran out of road.

Highly highly embarrassing, but I am not the first and wont be the last. Car needs a re shell for the next round at Donington. And I have refused to change the setup, just have to concentrate a little more next time!

 

[Adam.]

Unicorn jizz/diesel etc...

 

[Gray]

I will come down and support you guys at Donnington, being my local circuit

 

[Cooksport]

Avoided a bus full off school children, Vtec kicked in.. the usual

 

[Poopensharten]

Well i enjoyed watching you anyway!

Out of interest, how much are one of these Cup cars to build?

More than you can afford, pal.

 

[Poopensharten]

Is it to soon to go back to the no leg jokes?

 

[Adam.]

I'd be running back to them if I were you.

 

[S2H]

Unlucky mate, surprised more didn't go off with the cold temps!

Josh do you know Sean Cassidy (Jade Developments) in Barwell?

 

[Tony Hunter]

LOL, don't worry Josh, I did it at Oulton, straight out of the pit lane, whoops.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Out of interest, how much are one of these Cup cars to build?

Less than some of the 'track/race' cars on here probably.

 

[Tony Hunter]

'Project' YO

 

[Cooksport]

These come from the the renaultsport factory in France like this. Best part of 40k for a new one.
