Hi,

I was there today spectating, thinking of doing my first trackday early next year so thought I'd go to get a feel for what goes on. Anyway, here's my pictures. The quality's a bit rubbish, I don't think my camera likes the low light.

Good pics! I was there thisafternoon, driving my black almera (doubt you'd of taken any pics lol).It was my first trackday and i loved it! Iv driven on silverstone and donnington but enjoyed this track way more than them both.

I enjoyed the morning on track but then at Cascades this happened. Doh.
Definite block,gearbox,radiator,starter and quite possibly the head. Strange she was flying just prior to this.

Give me this over Holby City any day! Sorry for your woes bro, but bet you'll be out fighting again soon. Good luck.

PS. OP. If you drive like you take shots, you have a wonderous time ahead of you.

Enjoy, my friend.

Some really nice cars,

I was coming in the Cerb but its power steering pump failed whilst driving up, so came in the M3 which is runnning standard everything except 7 series calipers. The old girl did better than I imagined.

The frightening prospect for other track day goers is that I am considerably nearer to David Bailey than I am Michael Schumacher.

PVFCPUG if you want to contact Martin about any work his no. is 07974980313.
Thanks for use of jack.After swopping wheels round tyres were much better.
By end of the day they were knackered and pads shot.New rubber and pads required now.Shame about your car though.
Hope to see you on track soon.

Werewolf thanks for the number, might be an idea ot remove it now though. Plans already afoot to correct the slight problem. Collected the car this morning and have thank goodness already sourced a intact engine for a rebuild along with a dry sump.

I`ve just got a baffled sump and had no probs with oil surge.Dry sump = ££££ i think.

PVFCPUG,

Sorry to hear 'bout your engine. We thought about dry sumping ours a long time ago, but costs were just prohibitive. In the end went for a Skip Brown baffled sump on our 8v, in addition we fitted a proper oil pressure gauge along with a fuel cut such that if the oil pressure drops completely then it cuts the fuel. Was really fitted in case of heavy accident and we end up severing a fuel line as I think the fuel pump continues when the ignition is on & engine off.

Good luck.

BS.

I was there in the dark green Westfield, with my brother and a novice driver. Respect to the new style M3, which apart from the radicals was I think the only thing faster on the day. Also the white 205, although my Westie was faster it was not by much! Edited to say faster than the cars we came up against. Well except perhaps the cars we did not directly come up against.

Hello ocean1 , saw you westy in my mirrors a few times.I was in the white 205.
Hope i din`t hold you up for too long.The tyres and brakes were knackered by the end of the day.
Liked your westy BTW.What engine`s in it? Looked quick from were i was sat.

[ocean1]

Werewolf: The engine is a 2.0 Ford Zetec, but on twin 45 webers and various other mods to give it around 180bhp at the flywheel. Also very firm suspension, but a live axle as it is an SE not an SEIW. My brother and I wring the maximum out of it, but my brother in law is still learning (had a spin at the first chicane). Whenever I came up against you I enjoyed the tussle, you gave way only when it was clear that you must, I commented to my brother that I had enjoyed racing you, and I was not much faster.
