FF-Racing's 182 Racecar - Now it really won't get much better than this ;)

[SharkyUK]

Just a quick note to say 'hi' and that it was great to finally meet you and your car at Llandow. It was even more encouraging to see you out on track and enjoying some time behind the wheel. I hope I get the opportunity to catch up with you again at another event soon.

Cheers!

[Jay Payne]

Looks a good little track James, I am sure they do sprints there ?

Yes they do, From pit out to pit in iirc.

Great to meet you too Andy Sorry that you weren't feeling too well and shame you couldn't get out on track, Yes so relieved that everything went relatively smoothly! Yes me too mate i'm sure we will Hope that brick hasn't done too much damage!

[Cup_Phil]

Wow you were flying on those laps mate! Nice!!

Looks like a nice little track for a clio too. Gutted I missed it

[BIGASH]

Thanks Phil, The car is feeling better every time it goes out with the tweeks to setup but unfortunately we won't know how much until Anglesey as awesome as Llandow was it's quite unlike any of the circuits we race on!

Yes it was great for the clio's, shame you couldn't make it

[Tony Hunter]

Just watched the vid James, seemed to be going well, glad it all stayed together, and you got some laps in, that was the most important thing.

Time in the car, thats what you need.

[BIGASH]

Thanks Tony Yes definitely that's whats given me a bit more confidence now! Can't wait for Anglesey and going to try and do a few laps at the weekend at Donny (FCS) to test the new setup and if needed then whiz upto Teeside for a few hours

[Tony Hunter]

FCS!! stay clear mate, too many knobs about.

You now own an expensive race car, not a chaved up track car, think about it.

[BIGASH]

I've never been so didn't realise it's not great on track Was just an opportunity for some free track time to try the new setup! I will do Teeside then instead Thanks for the tip

[Tony Hunter]

You'll learn nothing there, it will be too busy and never get a decent lap in. Just forget it.

I'm going to get slaughtered now for saying that, but I don't care.

[Jay Payne]

I did FCS once, the guy in a Saxo next to me in the queue to go on track got his 'track tunes' CD out, reclined his seat and put his shades on. When we got on track someone I overtook gave me the bird and beeped his horn.

[Nick172Cup]

Lol, i've done a couple FCS sessions. Cracking fun, anything goes pretty much! lol But like the others have said, not worth risking some plum righting off your current car!

[BIGASH]

Haha lol! I will just stick to Teeside then and lol at the track tunes cd, think I should re-fit a cd player and do the same Shame I can't recline my seat

[Gray]

FCS track time is full of idiots.

I did 3 laps at Rockingham in a 15 min session and that was more than enough, almost side swiped by a Saxo, close to being shunted into the first left harder of the pit straight under braking and some Chav moaned at me for "doin im on da straight".

Apart from that is was fine.

/Rant.

Cheers James. Thankfully I managed to get the morning sessions in and three additional outings when it went open pit lane (despite the dicky tummy). It's just the latter part of the afternoon I couldn't get out (when it was drying up) but I was happy as I still got loads of laps in! With regards the brick, I got new tyres fitted earlier and had the tracking/alignment checked. Whilst it was on the ramps I had a quick look and there was no obvious damage to the suspension (I didn't think there was) but the tracking was quite a long way out! Thankfully this didn't hinder the car too much on track but it was noticeable driving to/from Llandow. With it now sorted, all is good again.

Anyways - looking forward to your next updates and your Anglesey report.

Sounds like the general consensus then I will steer clear, thanks

Ahh sorry Andy I didn't realise you'd managed to drive it I thought you hadn't got out ! Thats good then!

That's good news i'm glad it's not bent anything mate and at least its all sorted now

Thanks mate I can't wait for Anglesey will be an awesome weekend!

[Cup_Phil]

If you're at FCS come say hi mate - I'm on track all morning (9am - 12am)

I find the 15minute sessions suicide as they're full of 106/saxo/clio idiots who can't drive. But the 3hr open pit session last year was fantastic, tends to be the more experienced people lol

I've never done Donington so i'm really excited!

[BIGASH]

I will do Phil although I've got something on in Harrogate Saturday night so wasn't planning on getting there until lunchtime!

Haha lol, I just found out that the track time is being run by Bookatrack this year so I doubt Jonny will stand for any messing about to be fair. Either way i'm just going to leave mine parked for the day!

It's a great circuit and i'm sure you'll love it! Look forward to seeing you on Sunday mate

[frenchthing]

are you pitched up on the TDF stand James?? i saw the remains of your clutch yesterday.. proper f**ked!!.. will keep an eye out for you as i`ll be sweet talking Al into doing my belts + dephaser in return for a custom exhaust hahaha

[shiftspark]

I am working for all the cscc rounds except Oulton where I am on nights but will be coming along.
I may have the opportunity to come off shifts for 6 months in july but not 100% sure it suits me yet.

Yes it was a great track Colin just a shame it's so far away I'm not too sure to be fair but I would be a good circuit for them!

Not too sure yet but July or September are looking most likely I will let you know, it will be a trackday as going to have an instructor for the day Anglesey race on the 30th of this month if you fancy it Colin? Would be good to see you!
