I'm looking at this date as I can use it as a test for my Vincy before Spa, presently it's £149.00 but I can see that going up so be quick if you fancy an open pit day at one of the best GT tracks in the UK. Easy track link here. Sign-on: from 07:30 Drivers briefing: 08:40 Sighting laps: 09:00, open-pitlane from 09:30 Lunch: varies (normally 12 till 1pm) End: 17:00, or light-fail off season Static 101 dB, drive by 87.5 dB Let the good time roll Spin 1. CC. 2. MrsCC (tbc) 3. Little Dan (tbc) 4. 5.

Might have considered this too, but just looking at the site and the db limits - my car has zero chance of passing Measured 107.9db at Donington even on the sighting laps, but may come to watch/scrounge some passenger laps

I realise that Dan, but I can't see me persuing special parts for 3 or 4 trackdays a year - one of which is Spa where no such restriction exists AND i get to roar through the dartford tunnel

She drowned the noise of the Boeings at Donny! Might join you to scrounge a few rides though...

Although it's only £15, it works out very much more expensive if i'm black-flagged - i have doubts about a baffle dropping it 15db (and that was in sighting laps)!! rather than risk it or change the exhaust i'll come and watch. Thanks for the advice though, much appreciated

Thanks for the advice though, much appreciated why dont you borrow a quieter exhaust for the day and just change it back afterwards proccy. I know joe has a few sitting in unit if you ask nicely

Id like to see the battle

Dont forget to use FCCUK specific code for 10% off. Price will rise nearer the date, its still at 'Early booking' price. Its dearer than Feb dates as March is considered as 'in season' so circuits charge more.

Hehe I couldn't help the WUM in me just came out. Anyway, enough of the in house competition. What of our MR2 owning friends? I hear they got owned at Brands, and whimpered about they'd be better in the dry. Hmm, and we wouldn't?! Given my "entry level" 350 pony coop would have been comfortably the biggest power coop running at Brands if I'd made it, wonder what they'll make of our 400 and 500 plus ponies stretching their legs? I think they'd need a 2 lap head start in a 1 lap race :stirring: smiley is needed for times like this?

Pmsl To be fair if its a dry day the MR2's should do a lot better but they'll need a lot more horses to match our Coupes. I'll check their website later to see what's going on over there. It'll be a fun day either way as long as not to many people caused sessions to be stopped, our biggest problem Sunday was the amount of people spinning off, yes the track was very wet but some guys and girls (yes U MrsCC) were driving just too fast for the conditions. Bedford will be a good test day for Spa, I'll be running a slightly different setup and new exhaust so it'll be a tinkering day for me.

I bet you Fiat guys have to say that a lot My absence was due to me having my children with me that weekend. The car was ready, willing and definitely able! Fact is my 20vt is one of the most regularly tracked coupes (at least once a month), and I always drive to and home from the track, and it's not let me down. I've just popped over to the mr2oc forum to check on the interest in the Bedford day. After I translated found it (trackdaze?! I mean, that's well kool innit?), I saw no action worthy of noting. Still, I suppose you MR2 guys are used to that too 15 all Vinny :stirring: smiley

Yup most of the mr2 guys don't seem to be interested in tracking their cars for some reason but its quality not quantity I guess I dunno where the 'trackdaze' thing came to be honest... I'm with you on that one dude Got a couple of guys from the TSS and ROC interested and I'll be posting on the mr2 championships forum too once the new year is here If nothing else at least my car will be there so you have something nice to look at for a change

Is it possible to just spectate? Best hook up with someone on here, there is very limited room in 'Paddock' / Live track access, but you can leave your car in the main carpark and blag a lift over. No charge for watching.

Right, I am definatelly off on that day so I'll be there 100%. Joe, how flexible these guys are in terms of price? It is £179 at the moment and that's a bit pricey for me. Any chance of paying the original price at all? Did you put in the FCCUK code for the 15% reduction?

What I did was I got in touch with alfatim and he has sorted me out. I am so looking forward to this.

Ouch sorry to hear that, has the beast been used in anger yet? Thanks mate, I must admit I am pretty gutted after having already spent a fair bit. Leighton checked the map last Saturday and confirmed all was well from that side of things, following that I got to give it a bit of a blast (which was NICE!) Then had to poor in 1.5 litres of oil for the 120 mile journey home...not nice. I guess if the turbo has had it then I will just have to see this as an opportunity to fit something better, by better I of course mean massive Your present turbo can be rebuilt but if you fancy a change the GTX is the way to go but you'll need a remap.

Looking at the BBC weather this morning, it says no say, although there could be isolated showers, but didn't look anywhere near Bedford, more likely to hit the west side of the country.

yeah, but that was MrsCC not Joe. Definitely not as Mrs CC doesn't share Joe's manners. She'd have gone straight over that Fezza Great pic that. Last year at Spa that was getting even. Do you have any plans to get ahead this year Joe?

We all had a fun filled day at Bedford yesterday, I've a new name for Jack, from now on he's called 'No fear Jack' after giving his 16vt a thrashing along with his front tyres and brakes Day started off very wet so we pretty much torque steered everywhere but after lunch the track dried and we were soon hitting 120-125mph down the back straight. Track wasn't busy at all so we all got loads of laps in. Moment of the day has to go to the poor 944 driver who made rather heavy contact with the barrier, looks like an expensive repair Mr2 having a little spin Jack's front tyres in the afternoon, we quit after this. This sounded MrsCC's 2.4 Chap in the blue overalls was testing a new engine, he's racing in the Mr2 championship. I had a couple of moments trying to get the 2.4 to stop, tyre smoke and Jake having a brown trouser moment. I also went out with Jack in the morning and we spun in fine style leaving us up the back with no damage, MrsCC went out with him a couple of times and to quote her words "Jack is mental"

100% agree with Joe - it was an awesome day! It was good to meet you again and spend a day together racing I didn't know what to expect from my 16VT but now I know that I can trust the old girl as she didn't let me down. It's such a shame about the front tyres. Basically, they got destroyed as soon as it got dry and I could push it much harder in chicanes and over the kerbs. Oh well, it's all about the fun BTW, tyres are not only thing which got destroyed - definitely wishbones need changing, tie rods, tre and exhaust is blowing (that's what was making that hisssss sound Jake). Funny thing is - MOT expires on 30th March I got some work to do. For those who are looking for good and cheap set of brakes - EBC Blue Stuff & MTEC grooved and drilled did worked for me really well (all for under £140 for the 16VT). Only brake fluid started to give up and it was the ATE Blue thingy - not so great. Joe - thanks for the tips on how to improve my race line and eventually how to go quicker round the track Jake - thanks for being an awesome co-pilot and I hope that you did enjoy the adrenaline kicks as much as I did (you know what I mean) Next time I will brake even later so get ready MrsCC - thanks for your comments re my driving skills and sorry for being mental And finally, please do send me some pics guys: jacksndj@yahoo.co.uk
