i think it's quite hard to use 2 full tanks in a day of tracking considering you were in having having breaks and chit chat. but yeah carry torque wrench next time.  :happy2:

Need to speak to the photographer about shutter speed!  :popcornsoda:

think you find that with most official track day toggers now...higher speed to make sure u get a clean shot and use the speed of the car to create the motion. he had to go back in every now and again to download the pics for us to see. he wasn't out on the track all day.

lol no don't think he did (you show off  :signLOL: ) but good enough chap.

I bought a set from a different outlet last time at Bedford with the GTI....so will see how these look when i get my hands on it. But it looks better per the thumbs and what i saw on the computer at the track.

Which Clio, the blue one, if so, was it a rear wheel?

surprisingly it was the front left that came off as he came in the pits just past the marshall post. wheel rolled onto the grass otherside of barrier and he stopped short of the barrier scraping his AP set up.

I had to rip the powdercoat out of the stud sleeves and off the back of the wheel with sandpaper on a drill. Never came loose after that!!
Sideways yo!
