Snetterton 9th August. Pics thread!

[Ollie82.]

A cracking was had by all of the JMS, Failsport and the lone SanerSaxShed yesterday at Snett.
Once again we were mixing it with all manner of hyper, Sir_Dave tenting type BMW's, GTR's, X-Bows, a Clio 200 Cup series car (an absolute weapon) and your usual weird and wonderful track fodder including a diesel powered Beetle endurance racer and some sort of space framed racing Mini.

Mechanical maladies were at a minimum with only Johns Saxo proving troublesome in the morning with oil leaking from various breathers which ended up covering the gearbox and eventually causing the clutch to slip......a shame for John but the car is a weapon in the making....

Anyway, a few pics of mine throughout the day.

[Englebert]

Nice photos. I do love Snetterton, mainly because i am awesome at it.

He did indeed. Was properly tri-podding his way round. He's on the hunt for R888's now as well.

 

[Tom@JMS]

I'd stick mine up if I could find the bloody disc! Some cracking shots there!

 

[Ollie82.]

You have mail Mr Lewis.

Awesome pics, and an awesome day!

 

[Feirny]

Who took those Tom? They're excellent.

 

[Saner]

All photos so far have been taken by Focused Events, the people who also organised the track day.

 

[Feirny]

The shots of Toms look a lot better than the rest, I'm guessing it's a compression issue due to hosting?

 

[Saner]

I would agree with taht, Mine and Nicks are on Photobucket, Vish's on Flicker and I think Tom and Ollie have there own hosting!

 

[Tom@JMS]

I host mine on the JMS server so they are not compressed at all, I have resized them a touch to make them t'internet friendly, but that's all - that'll be the difference.

+ I have blue wheels, which instantly makes them better anyway

Looks like a cracking day.

Mine are on Failbook hence the crappy quality. Tom only went for blue as he knew the photographer would snap him more than the rest.........Nick and I didn't get as many pics as we were just too damn fast. Cups after all....

 

[ForceIndia]

Why remove the plates?

 

[gashead1105]

Some good pics those. I love snetterton, must do it again when the 250 arrives.

How are the r888s holding up? I seem to remember at least 1 of them was borderline when I sold them to you!

What were your fronts were indeed fairly well used! They have been put on the rear since i had them off you and were run on the rear at Snett and still have a couple of track outings left in them.
The fronts got pretty well worn but again they will last. Luckily i now have a ratty old set of Renault 19 alloys with Yoko Advans on as a road set.

The 888's are awesome tyres. We knew they were awesome on the road but they were simply breathtaking on track. I won't run anything else now though......

Because I f*cking wanted to

 

[Greeny.]

Good pics, shame I couldn't be there due to my boss

Cracking day out!

 

[scottiebhoy]

Some really good pics!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Cool, cool, Did dave take his T round?

I did

And then two days later i took it around the 'ring, Furka, San Bernadino & Stelvio :approve:

I must also point out, that despite a bit too much understeer on two of the tighter bends (PE2's going off me thinks), as a standard car, it was very very impressive straight out the box!! With some R888's it would have provided a lot more speed, to match the other clio's, but i think it would lose out a little on the fun - dab of oppo, etc.

However, & just to annoy the haters, a saxo on Bilsteins/Faulkners is a far better/more adjustable track car. I missed mine, sorely.

Some of my Snetterton photos for you all to enjoy (coutesy of Focussed Events & resized by me due to poor web connection & slowness to upload, hence the poor quality):

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice indeed.
