Cheers, got my 100mm bolt on yesterday too....even when I winched it on the trailer the day before (before I moved the TRS) it did a bit of damage to the CAF. Glad I moved it.

Messing around with the camera position and quality today....still don't know whether to used the skeleton door to the Gopro box or the solid one.

Video of when I loaded the car earlier today, solid door fitted to Gopro.

Congrats on finishing your first ever competitive race in CSCC, albeit even though you were both up against it with various things that happened! Hopefully you can get it all sorted quick and easily. Here's a couple of pictures my brother took of the car through qualifying and race, even got a couple of close ones between you and James (BigAsh) :)

Was a bit odd jumping on the A1 at 5.45am and seeing a car I've been reading about on here for the last couple of months. Very random!

I was in the blue BMW, gave you a thumbs up.

Well done today. What a way to start your lives in racing. Plenty of things experianced. Im amazed at how calm Sam was when she came in with the damage. You both did really well. Lets hope you sort your problems out and can have an even better day next time

Congratulations :) Bit gutted I couldn't make it sounds like it was an eventful race.


Shame about the paint trade, but all things considered could of been far worse :)

Was such a shame you had that incident. Got to say, I was amazed to see you just push the door closed again, check it wouldn't fly open and send her out again.

Kudos! Great performance considering you didn't have the 37 man support team Messers Payne and Hunter had LOL

Glad you enjoyed the 1st race!! Again, shame about the incident though :dapprove:

I briefly mentioned to Sam that i might have a Monaco door that you can have for nowt, so i'll try & get a picture of it later on for you if you like? Cant remember whether its also got damage though lol.

Cheers Jay. Going to get the video of both our fastest laps extracted from the mix....the video is well good watching back...I get a rear side\oversteer off Paddock and the steering wheel is turned to the left quite a bit to recover.....Oooh.

The transponder was hired from TSL, maybe where I placed it bodgedtaped to the glove box tray didn't help.

Car looked really tidy and was fast on track, shame about the dent in the drivers door but I'm sure it'll buff out. ;)

Went faster than I thought, there's 438's for you. Proper race car now...

Need to do a before and after now.

Well done the pair of you.

Real Baptism of fire for you today.

It was a good experiance all round, as been said before, track days cannot prepare you for your first race, chalk and cheese. Looking back at the video, good view of my eyes in the rear view mirror, wide open and did not blink once(it seems).

All the help from CS both forum and members actually there helped massively....

What happened guys?

Hope all are ok and everything is easily sorted.

All fine and parts sorted....I'll hang the damaged door up in pundits corner for discussion over a few beers...

Great to see you guys yesterday and was a cracking day :) Well done with the lap times both of you they are really great was just a shame about the limp mode throughout the day for you :( Good work with getting the new door and i'm sure it'll be looking as good as new in no time! I look forward to a few more tussles throughout the year :D I've got some great video from behind of you and Sam overtaking people so when I get it sorted out I will pop it up if you want!

Hi James, Good to see you in action, can you post the video of hunting down number 17 when you've time. Door and sill trim arriving next week so won't be too bad after..just the limp mode to sort out. Cheers Pete
 
BIGASH

No worries Pete, I have been going through it and trying to sort it for hours now so going to have to call it a day but as soon as I sort it I will send it over :)

Glad to hear you are making quick progress with the repairs! Good luck with the limp mode it seems an odd one! I'm guessing a sensor of some sort playing up, If you struggle with it then i'm sure Matt could get it sorted in no time and he's fairly local to you I think :)

good work on your first weekend,

shame to hear about your damage (thats is the sole reason i don't want to circuit race - because of the potential for others to damage your car), however £40 for a new sideskirt and door is spot on.....

Very clear picture Pete, what camera were you using?

It's a GoPro Hd 2, good bit of kit. Left the solid door on too, the sound is ok.

Can't beat the adrenalin rush though...no accounting for other peoples driving I know, just have to go with it and hope it dosen't get damaged beyond all help too soon. I think we both know (Sam & I) that unless we get qualified in the top 15 there is no hope once in the back of the grid to catch\be placed in the top 10. After I overtook the Puma, car 7 there was at least 3\4 of a lap before the next placed car....then I had electrical problems any way.

Just looked though Pete and your fastest race lap would have put you 14th in Quali so I think really good result for you guys! Quick car out of the box :)

Video looks great Pete, the external microphone for my video fit's the go pro so if you ever want to give it a try then let me know :)

I'm looking forward to seeing the second half of the vid too!

Good footage Pete. Looks like you had fun and took to it well. Brands is always a very strong field with times very close so don't worry about positions. As I said the laptime is very good
