I am there coaching a 15 year old in a Saxmax race car during the day and a Caterham roadsport in the evening.

Should be pretty knackered by 19:30!!

[Porkie]

Any spare time? I'd like some tuition in my Westfield if possible?

[Cat7SuperLight]

Porkie looks like you be spending the day sideways in a 400bhp Westfield, if you are still looking for someone to setup your suspension Gary May from Freestyle motorsport will be at Brands tomorrow and he is very highly regarded in the Caterham scene and I also used him and am very happy with the way he transformed my car.

See you all tomorrow lets hope the weather is as good as they say it will be.

[Porkie]

Thanks for the offer hope you enjoyed your day

Its actually only 380bhp at the moment! It DOES go sideways... BUT not underpower! its has ALOT of handling issues... mainly turn in oversteer which can be a bit scary!

I had Dave from http://www.racecardoctor.com with me there yesterday and he was really helpful

He explained that its currently a lovely soft ROAD car... its goes great in straight line but can carry NO corner speed as its far far far too soft and has no antiroll bars so it just boats about!

So apologies to all the Caterhams I was holding up through the bends!

Cant wait to get it all sorted. Should be really fast when sorted!

Ahh you have the best possible man for the job to sort your car out. I've sat with Dave many times in his own seriously rapid Westfield and its by far the best handling one of the lot and about the only Westfield I know that can put most Caterhams to shame. Let him guide you and you'll have an awsome car.

[Porkie]

Nice car. Saw it out lots! You were with the guy with the race CSR yes?

[Cat7SuperLight]

Fingers crossed someone will have some pics of me. I was with Nigel in the morning the race CSR he was doing a shakedown ready for his first race this year at Lydden Hill.

So you recommend him/them then? Im scratching around for someone to sort the suspension on the Cerb and not a million miles away from Lewes

[Porkie]

Sure do. Very knowledgable and clearly and openly expalained whats needed and how the changes will affect the car on the track and and road (both positively and negatively)

He is cheap as well if you ask me!
