Trackday - Snetterton 14th June

[mk1fan]

Tamy sorted today ready for next week. Car feels faster with the CATs back in. Just need to sort some tyres.

What are you going for?

For cheapness RSR595s are good, triple 8s are better!

[77racing]

if you need 888's let me know.

There was a set of 595s in the garage I borrowed. Decided it would be too cheeky to help myself

You are welcome to a deal if they fit!

Looking forward to Snetterton, so long as the weather and car behaves. Giving the car a check over before filling up wth V Power found I had no brake lights and wipers didn't park. No problem just change the 20amp fuse - but no spares. Thank goodness Halfords stay open until 5pm on a Sunday.
With the latest weather forecast, it looks like I'll be needing the wipers on Tuesday.

Weather not looking great is it

[mk1fan]

We 'should' have garages 25 & 26 to use - I've called to get my booked garage moved. 6 people are booked on the deal. See yu'al tomorrow.

[Matthew Poxon]

Excellent stuff, I will see you tomorrow.

I changed from my Pirelli P7,s to my Toyo 888,s yesterday . Today I changed them back again . I don't think this weather we are having will be 888 friendly . Or am I being a woose ?

[Franksy]

I'll be splashing around on my R888's, or sitting it out in the garage. Packing my kit at the moment; snorkel - check, thigh waders - check, brown trousers - check, brave pills - check.

Watch out guys. Theres a Polo Gti taking scalps at Snetterton.

Stuck the 16 inch spiders on wrapped with some new NS2-R rubber. Looks pretty good on Tamy. I had contemplated taking the Box.

[phazed]

Box?

[Matthew Poxon]

I was hoping to finish off my AD08Rs on the track tomorrow but somehow I don't think they will be getting a lot of wear.

The weather has been very changeable recently so fingers crossed.

The Box aka the Touran.

Great day. A few spots of rain that soon burned off. Two red flags. And some sun. Managed about 3 hours on track in total. Took some photos and will write a little article for Sprint. Tamy was great as were the tyres.

Fastest runner and rider goes to Mr Poxon I think.

Will check the pics tomorrow and post up a few if they are worthy.

July trackday thread to follow in the General Stuff forum.

Thank you very much for organising Stewart, much appreciated. Another great track day and despite the bad weather forcast stayed mainly dry.

Sprint article would be a great shout, might encourage some others to join us since the TVRCC do not seem to want to organise track days anymore. Ping me a PM if you would like a hand with it, I didn't take any pictures myself but I might be able to dig out some screen grabs from the video footage with other TVRs in shot if that would be of any use.

The last session I finally found my grove and after many silly mistakes on previous laps I finally managed to piece together a semi decent run clear of any traffic. Got a lap time of 02:24.66 with an average speed of 73.8MPH which considering my ham fists I was pleased with, video below:

Hi Matt, what are the red bits on the picture?

Hi Graham, the red, amber and green on the diagram are a graphical representation of the cornering G-Forces. Red is anything +1G I believe.

You can see the G-Meter in action on the video:
