ordered a camera mount from RAM UK

heres how it will be built up with 3 components, just going to use Harrys Lap timer app

if I find myself using it a lot then i'll invest on a gopro but for now this will do

it will be cage mounted

The stapler seems an afterthought though  :innocent:

Whilst I love the R26R, I LOVE that FRS next to you



Are you likely to be tuning yours at all or have i missed that?

it is indeed, all French cars come with a compulsory stapler

just a stage one map and possibly floating front disks, nothing too much

the stapler is an essential when owning a Renault

tried the mount on the cross bars but you saw too much of the dash and the higher you went on the bar the more towards the driver you went

finalised the mount in this position and i think it captures everything here

where its mounted



the view

so the car finally made it on track

I have to say it bloody loved it, as did I. Blyton is a great first track for anyone who hasn't experienced track driving. Plenty of run offs and a real nice relaxed feel to the day as well

Met up with Matt and convoyed down, got there early and then cracked on with signing in and getting the cars ready. The meg took loads of work to get ready, I had to drop tyre temps and cover the number plate (admiral are sneaky *******s) matt on the other had did nothing hahaha

heres a few pics, i'll have vids up tonight hopefully

the first session I was lapping around 1.28 pushing the car but wasn't very smooth, I had some free tuition which really helped and by the end of the day was running around in the 1.18's

bought a helmet for the track day


track day pics







by the end of the day I had proper tightened my lines up, even kissing cones lol


some lap info
