Bedford GT Circuit - 31st May Open Pit Lane

[chungster]

u were giving it the beans tho all day 

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.

Need to speak to the photographer about shutter speed! 

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.

What? He didnt have a wireless hook up  TBF those photos are a lot better than some i have seen on track days.

lol no don't think he did (you show off  ) 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.

I've done 2 tanks at Anglesey and found my wheel bolts loose in between sessions

2.0T can be quite thristy when working for a livin

he has the newer more efficient 2.0T tho  but we were all shocked really. we saw a clio lose a wheel coming back into pits and joked about it but yeah should check ours too after every sesh.

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

[geordie56]

It was the blue one and it was the front passenger side.

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.

[Poppa Dom]

Ouch, sounds like it did some damage.. Reminds me that I need to get a new torque wrench, mines gone missing 

[tony_danza]

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!!
