Had a great day and the car went really well, only two things came past me in the day, a Radical SSR and full race spec Ferrari 458 in white  :drool: :drool:

Worked on some setting with KPM at the track which really helped too  :driver:

Will try to get some video up tonight  :happy2:

Had a great day at Snetterton yesterday, was on track with Steve and had the lads from KPM racing working their magic, ended up with 3 degrees camber on the front and stiffer rear which transformed the car  :happy2:




Oh, and something else happened on the last session, now what was it again...................................... Oh yes my Cam Follower exploded, killed my HPFP and need to strip engine to recover shrapnel  :surprised:

Huge thanks to Steve, and KPM for all their help  :happy2:

Steve has some photos, Group Buy Cam Followers any one  :signLOL:

Looks like you had a great day judging by the videos  :happy2:
Shame i couldn't make it, would of been a good crack chasing you guys around track but my car was in garage trying to sort my brake problem out  :sad1:
Had brake fluid changed 4 times now and my master cylinder changed this week and i still have a sh*tty pedal feel, after about 8 laps around silverstone no brakes at all  :scared: this has happened 3 times now
twice at Silverstone and once at Spa !!!!!
