The High Mileage Track car

Always wanted to drive Mondello park after it was in Need for Speed Pro street

It's not a bad track and only about an hour drive from the Dublin ferry terminal! It suits lower to mid horsepower cars best, there usually 4/5 clios at every trackday there now

First trackday of the year was done on Saturday at mondello park. Over the Christmas break I'd got the Clio checked over for bits of suspension wear, general check over and a service. All it needed was two bushes replaced on the passenger side wishbone which I had a feeling might be worn out

It was a nice dry day out with no issues. I wasn't chasing times it was just getting back into a groove for the year. The r888r are definitely at the end of their life so a new set will be ordered and fitted to a new set of braid wheels which have been sitting the garage waiting for this day I think there was about 8 Clios on track at one stage with a mix of that being 172/182/197/200, they seems to be a good "budget friendly" car and definitely take all the abuse we throw at them.

Next day out is February but I might skip it and try fund a few trips to some UK tracks this year for a bit of a change up
