So Cadwell. Not really much to say as most of you were all there.
Early start for me and Ben
Plenty of company too.
@Helpimonfire and
@Beany with their freshly prepared Trackbaguettes special builds - though Martin’s suffered a questionable noise half way through the day.
@burrellbloke and
@EthanMenace made the journey up, still adamant that they don’t need a tow car and trailer, and the clio197 relic
@R20BTG and his pal
@s88thy with his new acquisition.
My first time at Cadwell in the Megane. Felt a little anxious to be honest. Had a couple of tentative sessions on the A052’s, of course with Ben pushing me along.

One thing the slicks did identify, is the suspension just seems way too soft for them. By comparison, the car feels absolutely mega on A052’s, and that’s what I spent the rest of the day on.
Had some mega laps chasing and leading

This is the second time he’s had a genuine clutch cover fail now, and the 4th time he’s had clutch issues. He got home and stripped it down pretty quickly, only to be greeted with the following:
