Did 22 laps overall, was probably the best Circuit Days event I've done. Not a single red flag and only minor breakdowns/incidents. It always helps when the 'more money than talent' brigade don't wipe their £150k car down the barriers at 9.30am. Day 2 ended with dinner outside and a cold beer...

Knocked out 12 laps on Day 1 without a single red flag or stoppage. Day 2 started even better as it was warmer and sunnier. I had a very light breakfast at the hotel before doing 3 laps in the morning. I then had a breather and had a second breakfast at Devil's Diner overlooking the car park...

Resting at the hotel between sessions:

Track Day 1 - weather perfect, track dry, did 6 laps in the morning just building up speed. Standard Circuit Days photographer getting half the shot obscured by a barrier: You can really see the Cup Racer front end wideeeeboi in this picture at Adenaur Forst #CAMBER. At this point my...

Nurburgring April 2024 Felt like I was a bit short on time getting the car ready this year, with it only just running right a week or so before the trip, and a hasty MOT checkup. But it was too late to cancel so I just took a gamble that everything would be alright on the night. Started with...

It's to break the timing beam for accurate timekeeping on sprint/hill climb events

MOT passed and car is back with me. Needs a good wash and a hoover, and going to put the OZ wheels back on for a little while to try and use those MRF tyres in Germany.

Max turned around the calipers in super quick time and they arrived today. The damaged bleed screw on the NSR has been removed, the hole re-threaded and a larger bleed screw fitted. At the same time Max was not happy with the brake line connection so that has been rethreaded and fitted with a...

Good stuff, what threw me was you talking about painting it and I was like, errrrrr…

This might be a silly think to point out but please tell me they’re going back to finish those welds?

Haha yep MYP

I’ve sent them to MS Custom Engineering. He said it would be either a helicoil, a bigger insert or a bigger bleed screw.

It’s out, it’s finger tight that’s the problem, the threads in the caliper are destroyed and it’s just sitting there loose and can’t be tightened

I’ve taken both rear calipers off this morning, if I’m getting one done I might as well get both done. It’s only money right :think: Here’s the offending bleed nipple that some utter cretin has just mangled: Pad wear comparison between sides. I do wonder if the brake locking at Cadwell...

Also removed the dead Godspeed discs and dead DS1.11 pads. Fitted new Brembo discs and new DS1.11 pads. Gave the pins and good clean and a bit of copper slip. On a roll, I went to flush the brake fluid through, only to find that whatever ham fisted idiot was there before (wasn’t me, before...
