Then weekend after it's off too

I did what I set Out too do, I beat my last years fastest time. Not bad considering was on year old worn rubber. Everyone else had new sets and sure could knocked more time off on a new set tyres easily.



During the test day I was doing about 1.48s so improved on the TimeAttack Event, think
A 1.47 may been quickest.

Soon as get go pro sorted I'll
Load some laps of the final. Go pro had gone flat when set fastest lap in quailfiying gutted :worried:

Struggled in class, some cars were a 300bhp Fiesta ST and a
Modified Mini JCW. Both been turbo and With only 200bhp I was majorly up against it. Only so much can do in the corners to crawl time back but hard Making up 100Bhp sadly for example.

Still good day and the buzz this Clio gives you pushing it around track is awesome :smiley:

Interested to know your full Geo set up on this mate when you get a minute, I need to take some time to read back through the whole thread and get some ideas and tips.
 
Just drop us a PM and I'll advice where I can.


Going off other Clios with simialir spec too mine. There is a local lad Too cadwell who lives they're doing trackdays , he's a full ards instructor and race car drive etc and he did Cadwell second quicker than me so can't really complain.

Would be good to know Cadwell better just shame its not more local.

Either the cars very good then....or you are an exceptional driver to make up for the hp loss. Or perhaps a bit of both !!!

Well done on a faster lap though. Looking forward to the footage to prove it :smile: (Firmly tongue in cheek)

I didn't make it up?? . That's why I said I struggled in class :/ .. when cars are 15mph or
More quicker in speed traps not much can do. The other cars where in the 1.43s.

Well the end has come :worried:

The Clio has sold and now is with its new owner.

It'll be missed, it's been a joy to own and too drive. Every time I got behind the wheel it put a massive grin on my face. It Punched well above her weight on any track situation and never let me down. She'll be missed dearly!


Just hope new owner has as much fun as I did
