Anglesey was pretty cool, some quite technical bits for a little track. Try and do the Coastal version with the corkscrew, we didn't and it lacked something for it.

Venting is coming along, we were working through some designs last night over a beer & food. I can't see why we can't make it work easily and cheaply.
Sideways yo!

Wow that looks like fun, never been out on track but would love to have a blast - one question though.... If I were to go too mad into a corner and trash me car (which is likely  :driver:), how would I pay for it? Is there 'special' insurance you get? My policy states 'no tracks days' including 'the ring'!

There is 'special' insurance Dan but you tend to have to pay through the nose for it! Or just try harder not to bin it!  :laugh: :driver:

30-130 = Yawn - straights are for gays (so to speak)

Now, I could be talked into Cadwell next month for £89, open pit...

instert joke here about bumming you on the straights......

Cadwell you say? £89 is cheap, is that msv or circuit days?, you should put some kind of presentation together in an attempt to twist my arm, it's going to be a dangerous ultra wet day though for sure!

If you're insured with Greenlight, it's £50 per track day and your excess doubles for the day. Indipendant is pretty much the same.

Stevey, I will have a Powerpoint slideshow by close of play.
Sideways yo!

Its on Eibachs, which are basically a KW V1 - They're extremely well riding on the road, however the damping is too soft for track work really. .. They were on the car when I bought it, so I can't justify the cost of changing to Bilsteins - they're not bad, just not perfect.

Rest of the rough spec here
Sideways yo!

I should be blagged my way onto an Oulton day, but if it falls through, I'm in.
Sideways yo!
