Snetterton update:

Another good trackday. Sadly probably the last one until next spring. Car performed great. Really happy with how it’s running.

Lovely to meet some more forum members and some old ones. Big Renault turn out as always.

Couple of pics courtesy of a friend and a borrowed camera!

Thanks for looking

Yeah good day Pav. Cool conditions and a dry track. Couldn’t ask for much more

Thanks for the passenger laps, loved the 'just one more lap' once you got a sniff of the Golf R, then we did another chasing a VX220.
Car needs for nothing in my opinion, works great on the Yoko's, feels like it's on rails and sounds the business!

Good time out... the time flew past and the car looked and ran effortless all day aside abit oilly in the morning

Haha! Red mist came down once I saw that £30k VW
Likewise enjoyed the laps in your cracking Trophy. Cars come on huge these last few months mate

Just clearing her lungs mate!!
Enjoyed the day. Shame we never got much track time together

Nice new wheels delivered today. Still not ordered tyres. AD08R’s have been brilliant yet I can’t help wondering what something more track focussed like a Direzza or AR1 would be like. Food for thought

These weigh 8.7kg each btw

Good work Ben! Direzzas are amazing mate, but pricey, NickD has suggested the DMack tyres too, so worth speaking to him about them.

 

[Beany]

Looking good mate.... can’t wait for pics

Cheers Beany. Might be a while yet.... winters coming and something called Xmas!! Funds for new rubber not high on the list. Will be ready to roll for spring

Thanks again Matt. Communication, price and delivery was spot on. Would recommend to anyone thinking of buying wheels to give @R27WTF a message.

at least try the direzzas once, ben.

You won’t try anything else after those. Send me a link to where you’ve seen them for £150 a piece mate.

It's come a Long way Ben. It'll look great on the wizards, the anthracite suits it so well.

They’re actually £135+vat each. I’ll get them through our firm to save the vat.
