Hya All,

 

I will get to Castle Coombe for about 9ish. Have we got a stand if so I will be there waiting for arrivals. Lets hope there are some nice battles on the track. Bring back the Dialynx v Reeves shoot outs they were epic.........................

yes mate there should be a space for us in the paddock will be getting there sometime after 9. Me thinks a damp track might make things interesting tomorrow.

Plenty of other clubs getting involved this year and the weather didnt halt play either! That A8 was sorted but £1200 for pads and discs put me off!

 

Think a bit more notice is needed for next year and a get a track session sorted, but all in all a great day cheers peeps.

[bristolbaron 11]

cracking day and the mrs didn't complain once :lol:

wouldve like to have seen more cars on track, but not surprising considering the weather.

 

nice to meet a few from here today too.

I did but not ones your on about :D Oh and a video of the whole little trip!

 

Thanks for taking me and my friend out in the beast, must say the best car I have been in so far. Goes like **** off a shovel and feeling the awd kicking in is something else.

 

Made me even more determined to make mine into one. Even if my car is half the car yours is I will be happy. I takes mad people like me to build a mad car like that :D

 

Good to catch up with some people and meet some new faces. Even if I did get there a little late.

Ah that's why you lot had disappeared when we came back round. Good view further round the track, timed the black Skoda going round in a 1.22 which was 4 seconds faster than the Green R8...........................

Glad you enjoyed it, you will have another chance to look over it again at Berkeley Castle after a bit of your own research. I'd love to see the video if you have a sendable copy- I'd appreciate it not going up publicly anywhere for obvious reasons ;)

[Swompy 0]

Ya I saw you are going :D

 

The video is on youtube but set to private so only certain people can view it, if you pm me your email adress I will set it so you can see it.

 

You can only really see inside the car as the camera cant cope with the different lights from the window. but better to be safe than sorry.

I forgot to ask you on saturday whats the R32 like putting the power down? my 24v can easly spin the wheels if I floor it and even in 3rd when its wet

[bristolbaron 11]

Peloquin diff and p zero Nero combo = no wheel spin in the dry. Torque steer if you floor it but 'hard' to spin.

In the wet you have to be sensible, but it doesn't come out much when it is!

That will be where im going wrong then :D
