    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    Collected the car back from my sponsors this week, unfortunately I’m not racing this year which sucks, but life comes first! Investing my time in sim racing instead for this year, got a team to race with and sending some 12hr / 24hr races with them this year which should be good I’m not sure...

    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    Brands Hatch round 7 of Time Attack UK must have been my best round so far. Warm up - Starting off dry and getting back into the swing of it and finding my feet on the circuit again was good fun, whilst setting the car back up for brands through this session, we hit a respectable 57.591 and...

    Round 6 - Donington Park. First time having been here, it was another learning curve but nothing I haven’t done before. With the hopefully achievable goal of 1:25, and a dream of 1:23 in mind, we went into it. Warm up - Straight out, learning the circuit and getting to grips with the car again...

    Oulton park round 5 of Time Attack done and dusted. Session one went well, setting a 2:08 for my first ever outing of Oulton, I was happy with that but my 2:05 target was easily reachable once I got comfortable. Getting back into the pits after session, we noticed steam coming from the engine...

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    Im not sure of my entry speeds, but i wasn't braking into halls until after the right. I'd do the smallest lift to weight transfer into the right hander, and the brake / trail for the left hand. Interesting and a more scary way of doing it but i found that the fastest way

    What a day this was .. been a while since I’ve been at Brands Hatch so it was great to get back. Session one was super greasy, ended up have a spin and an off a couple laps in which threw me off unfortunately. Session two was cut short by 18 minutes due to a crash (and then luckily given back 10...

    Baby update, car's up with JD now for the rest of the season. He did a quick check over the car today before monday's preperation day for brands and found one of my suspension bolts (cant remember where) was loose which isnt ideal. So hopefully that stays tight! my new poly front windows came...

    Appreciate that mate, thanks! I’m hoping it’ll be as fun as I’ve written it out to be .. they collect the car this weekend and then it’s almost an arrive and drive situation with my own car as they’re gonna bring it to each round for me
