Amazing photos incredible cars.

I bought (from Amazon) what were described as “25L JERRY CAN - UN Approved Stackable Bottle Container”. They are kind of rectangular and stackable. Also easy to attach with bungee and lashing straps in a trailer. BTW - I was told by 1 petrol station that the most I could fill it with was 10...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’ll check the discs and see what I can do to clean them up. It probably makes a lot of sense to replace the pads. As I’ve no idea on how they were bedded in, if at all, before I bought the car. btw - that is a great article on bedding in pads.

Thanks for the heads-up. Here is what on the car. (They were fitted to the car by Ktec before I purchased back in 2017. Cars has done little mileage since). Front = Brembo HC front discs + Ferodo ds1.11 pads Rear = Ktec black rear discs + Ferodo DS2500 pads

Great advice. Thank-you. I am just pricing up the Godspeed kit plus braided lines. Also the feedback on cooling. As after I did a the cool-down lap and went in. The front discs were still really warm - well actually hot! I'll see if I can get all this done this month as keen to do more track days.

Sorry for this numpty question - Lots of good feedback above on discs, pads and braided lines etc which is great but... Q. For the standard Clio 3 RS200 with Cup pack with Cup wheels. Has cage plus Gripper etc. But brakes are pretty much stock. - can I order and fit; larger discs such as...

I would get the LSD for sure... I am a newbie to track days but the difference with the diff (plus the coil-overs) was incredible. I did talk to Sean at Jade Developments. He is v. knowledgeable on the options so maybe worth a call? -> https://en-gb.facebook.com/JadeDevelopments/

I managed to get my policy, via A-Plan, to include Track Day. It was with MarkerStudy Insurance. They agreed to insurance with all the mods on the car. Even insured 2 friends (for a bit extra £s)

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I have a good quality gauge so will check regularly - when cold/ hot and pre/post each "run" at Combe.

Thanks Gents, I took the wheels off today. The edges looked decent but loads of pickup. Tried to scrub them but the marbles are like goo on the tyres... At Combe in a couple of weeks so will experiment. Keep you posted [emoji106] BTW - you seen the Michelin Track Connect app? €400 approx for...

Thanks Sean. I’ll start with those 30-32 psi. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Folks, I have the following tyres, used only for Track Days, on Cup alloys: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 215/45 R17 Y (91) Quick question: (assume you have the same tyres) What tyre pressures are you running? I’m just taking the tyres off. Loads of pick up from the last track day (...) and...

You’ve got to hand it to him. They are not doing the best but he is so positive. Upbeat and going to give it a crack this weekend at Silverstone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks[emoji106] I had the tyre pressures a bit high initially. After getting them up to temp removed some air. But took out too much. Car was a bit “hoppy” on the faster curves. Added some air back and improved- a lot. Problems? Lots of marbles from the faster machinery was picked up on the...

TBH - They had too many cars on the day. Over 90 and lots of pseudo testing going on. A bit nuts as you got passed by GT cars and a McLaren Senna that was plane ballistic. I reckon about 70-80 mph differences in places and Ginetta’s who were treating it as a test day. All in all a bit dangerous...
