I forgot to post this photo. The marshal was waving it at some enthusiastic drivers.

We went to Blyton Park on 18th July 2026 for a Javelin track day. A few people from the Facebook groups had suggested booking a track day for Renaults a bit like the February 2026 date at Donington. We had only done Blyton once before and that was April 2025. Blyton is about 3 and a half to...

Thanks.

Nice. I have not driven a car with the PMS mechanical linkage yet, but I do love a long/high shifter.

Here are a few of the track photos from the Nordschleife.

Here is a video of Ethan's 8m 40s hot lap. The GoPro footage is over exposed in some parts of the track.

The Clio made it's third trip to the Nurburgring over the weekend. I had the alignment checked the day before we travelled to make sure that the toe at the front of the car was okay. The coilovers had not been removed from the car or unbolted when the hubs had been replaced but the toe was...

As it is glacier white it will be faster...

That engine was running fine when I had it.

The Clio has been given an oil service. We like to give the Clio 200 regular oil changes as it is usually driven hard, and the easiest miles it will do are usually a drive to or from a track. The Clio has used Fuchs Titan Race Pro 5w40 oil for a very long time. Along with the oil change, we...

The old/spare hubs have been put back on to the Clio now. The cerakoted hubs are knackered. All of the parts have been torqued up to spec according to the workshop manual.

I am not sure I would have the balls to use the GT3 RS properly on a track day.

Have you checked your earths, and double checked that your starter motor heat shield has not been dislodged and is shorting out on something?

You have got loads of time!

Not yet. The hubs had been blasted and cerekoted - I have no idea if that has caused any issues. The car does a fair number of track daysand it always has a driver and passenger. I am not sure if this is just wear and tear? The Gaz Golds have been serviced twice and each time at least one of...

It gets worse. There are even more cracks on the passenger side hub. These cracks are not due the hub being over torqued as the crack is in a hollow section between two solid sections.

The ZPO/OMP tow eye set up is now on the Clio. It has a velcro tab stopping the metal ring flapping about. New boot for the drivers side track rod end that was damaged at Brands Hatch. Ethan had planned to replace the passenger side hub just in case it had suffered any damage as a result...

We have bought a Zero Point One rear tow eye extender and an OMP tow eye to fit to the rear of the Clio. After being beached in the gravel at Brands Hatch the marshals struggled to find a good way to pull the Clio out of the gravel backwards. They eventually ended up putting some straps round...

Here are our fastest laps from Brands Hatch last week. @EthanMenace managed a 0m 58s lap. My lap, as always, was slightly slower at 1m 01s

We had two front end smashes, one that resulted in a bent chassis leg so we replaced the chassis and another incident where I took the front end off at Snetterton with moderate damage. It looks lie you are missing a few of the radiator shroud plastics.
