Hey guys and girls, went to Mallory today organised by circuit days, met Paul(baggers), Whiteley and Rich off here.. and cheers to Paul for the tracktime !

Only found myself moving over for a few cathrams and a lotus exiges.

Could stay with the porsche 944 race car's and the cup racer and williams that were there, nice to meet you all :s ... Anyway, no doubt know one believes that unless you were there

Rich had a slight accident in his clio which im sure he'l explain

Looks like a good day.

How low is your car mate?

 

[r8byb]

really not sure, its 25mm from the platform to bottom thread on the front, and as low as it will go on the rear

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks fun.

 

[Christopher]

What happened on the last picture? Did your brakes give in?

 

[r8byb]

No, thats the way the track goes

Good stuff

 

[r8byb]

Oh yeah, H&R's are not to soft for track! Fact!!

 

[Whiteley]

Good to meet you today Rob, cheers for laps. The 182 behaved very well!

Love it. Nothing better than 2 or 3 RS Clios descending on a track, terrorising the hell out of 90% of the other participants then scooting off while they're all stood about saying "WTF?".

 

[Brett]

RS clio's certainly do terrorise a lot of cars that would expect to walk over "a little clio"

[Adey.]

does everyone else find they do most cars coming up to, through and on the exit of corners of tracks?

[Whiteley]

Any pointers? Yes:

A little tip, when running wide at 110mph DONT LIFT OFF!!

Quite an easy track to find the lines, top corner after the straight dont hug the curb, stay out wide and cut in, think i was going round there about 80mph and hitting the curb on the way out at about 100 ish.

Left hander after the tight U bend at the top you can take flat out but alot of people dont.

I might pop down next saturday if your there

 

[N90 ACK]

I saw you the other day mate, car is looking great

Eye nice to see more clios out on track ! Got some videos too upload of gaztwo and me lapping most cars :wink:

I have no idea how you were exiting that corner at 110 on road tyres lol...My cup racer could only manage 100ish on full racing slicks!!!!

Shame rich came off with 1/2 hour of the day left...Gutted when the marshells shut the track - best part of the day aswell. Same thing happened at croft earier this year.

That was me! Sorry... :dapprove:

To be fair though, it was after ten to five - there would have been 1 or 2 laps more at the most.

Apologies nonetheless!

 

[northy]

haha glad u got the car sorted anyway though, think a few of us came over in the afternoon for a chat!

was a good day though - not the most technical track ive done but it was the one with most casulties.
