Hello
So I'm a little behind with this. Still didn't go sub8, so feel free to skip to the end
Much the same as April, I went over, did a lap in the Touareg, ate lots of food, and more importantly didn't break anything. The only difference this time was going over on the eurotunnel. Definitely won't be doing that with the trailer EVER again! What a horrific journey.
Really enjoyed this trip. Was a bit crap having no @R20BTG to share food platters with though!
The Gopros also behaved a little better this time round - One camera just wouldn't work whatsoever, and the one which did worked around 50% of the time.
Second video is pretty cool chasing my mates brother down in his Mk1 Focus RS. It has a G25-550 turbo, so is an absolute rocketship down the straights.

Cliosport Festival 2024
Definitely one we as a forum should collectively make more of an effort to attend in the future. Turn-out from the track baguettes was a little better than of recent. We had Ben, Simmo, and myself, along with fiesta Dave who doesn't own a fiesta but owns a LY Clio, and Davis who previously had a 197 meglio and has recently purchased a megane mk4 trophy.
Ben and Simmo wasted no time in making some new friends.....
With the exception of getting in Ben's way all day, the track time was mega. Photos were a vast improvement over last years too.
Thanks to the TurboRenault lads for arranging that!

Davis let me have a bash of his mk4 too. Here's me piloting his, and him piloting mine.
Once he's sorted the brakes out, it's gonna make a mega clubsport track car.

Keen to attend CSF. The event looks quite good on he Cliosport.net threads that I've seen. I wanted too attend this year but couldn't get any commitment from some mates that claimed they were interested and felt daft attending on my own!

And of course, it wouldn't be a trip to Anglesey without some tyre abuse...
The tyre count stands at 2 direzzas for myself, and 5 slicks between Ben and Simmo

It’s been quiet. The baguettes all growing up, Iain being a responsible adult, and me changing jobs again are the excuses I’m sticking with.
Meganes sat basically untouched since the last trackday, and I have had thoughts of selling. So, to snap me out of that mood, I’ve booked a trackday and finally stopped flapping and bought some oversize 356mm floating discs (originals are 340mm). These are probably gonna require some engineering bodgery to fit underneath my 17” Protracks, but we’ll see where we end up. They will be coupled with the Winmax W6’s which have sat in the boot of the Touareg since June.
