Carig - bloddy expensive track day

Right you buggers - when's the next one - I recon a good 10-15mph faster out of that bottom right hander now

Extra 10-15mph...cool....Does that mean you have taken the rear wing off???

I will be very interesting to see how much of an effect drag has over the improved exit speed of the first bend.

Sounds awesome Joust,I will check your web out,,It will obviously take a little while to run the car and yourself in to the new set up then it will be even more amazing...have fun!

[granville]

Sounds little short of sensational!

Due to Tony C @ the factory being the best bloke on the planet, the engine is already run in!

Just means I have to get used to having a LSD on the back!

Thanks Tony
In fact they were new "bunnygirl ear" aerodynamic aids I was trying to stop me hitting the rev limiter in top
I'm now working on a fluffy white tail/airbag system in case you havn't fixed those drum brakes in time for the trip to Le Mans

[joust]

C3 - what about an air brake for the end?????

nice one Joust! Just got my car back, only needed geometry completely reset and a new set of tyres, all set for the next one now!

[GregE240]

Time to get organising again then Craig?

BTW, look no further for a marshall for next time - I really enjoyed it, despite the p-ing rain in the morning.

Let's just say mine needed a bit more than that :cough:

[craigw]

I heard, bloody good lap before it went pop though. My pants still aren't clean

[dazren]

Mine needed new brake rotors and pads up front. Although I put this down to bad component build quality.

:tryingtokeepastraightfacesmilie:

[granville]

Joust; I've just heard that lap you gave to my fellow nowvan oink and I'm pleased to confirm that following his outrageous profanities 'on-cam,' he has not only been turfed oot of his small hovel but is this very instant being set upon by the mastif after which he will be roundly beaten and then banished to Essex.

(Huge for the Noble though; I must concur with the sentiments regarding it's status as "the fookin' daddy.")

[joust]

Just to let you know the new improved Noble outperformed everything I was near at Bedford today on the Autocar Noble track day.

Nothing broke, nothing went bang, and the LSD is the "Daddy"

Full report with piccies/videos in the next few days.

[biturbo]

Can you keep me informed if there is another Brunters day please?
I have heard that the 'certifiable fruitcake' in his 'mad labrador carrying blue RS4' has now added 2x4lb NOS bottles to his setup

[Roadrunner]

What's the RS4 putting out now then?

[GTR Henry]

I`m ready & waiting for the next Brunters day.Can I have 5 places please Craig!

Henry.
ps.Porsche Factory Tour was brilliant last week.Spa in GuyR`s 993 RS wasn`t bad either.

[clubsport]

Did you check out any Lhd Gt3 in Germany while you were there Henry?
