I did a trackday/test day on 24th Feb 2012 and all went well, driver and car both managed a 40min session without either over heating, brakes and tyres did fade towards the end but did do 40mins non stop whereas in the race I would have a pitstop so this would let both cool very slightly for a bit.


All the pics are here so enjoy








































The Ford Anglia is the guys in the garage next door and is running a Vauxhall red top engine with around 300bhp, they are running in the CSCC Special Saloons series

29th March was the officiall CSCC test day at Snetterton, and once again the car and driver did ok. Fastest lap was 2mins 22secs which I thought was pretty ok as car is still only running with a totally standard engine!

Better brakes are really needed and maybe a slighly bigger oil cooler but apart from that we are ready to go, scrutineering went ok with only a few minor things to tweak.

here are a few more pics for you;

The first race and all went well, car has come back un-marked which is always good, qualified 13th out of 23 and finish 11th overal which I was more than happy with for the first time ever!

The 2nd a great race and really enjoyed Brands Hatch, learnt alot aswell like the fact you can pit under the safety car, which I wasnt really sure about. Had a big off coming down paddock hill bend, after after the black flag went out as I passed the line, and not sure if it was for me but it put me off so I totally missed my braking! I later found the flag wasnt for me and now have lots of genuine Brands infield grass that I dug from under the car and in the subframe!

Qulified 16th out of 29 and finished 13th in the race!

The Silverstone race was the closest I got to getting in the top ten!

Qualified 14th out of 26 cars and finished the race 11th out of 22! Had a great race with the Puma of Toby and Lisa, I could not catch Lisa early on in the race no mater how hard I tried, but caught Toby after his spin on the oil. Chased him hard for around 4 laps and he had the legs on me down the straights but I was pushing him hard in the bends! Toby was hugging the inside line all the way, I tried round the outside a few times but that never works! Tried to force an inside gap on the last lap, but got one wheel on the grass which pulled me in! Luckly Toby saw me and gave me room so no contact was made. Many thanks for for that and so glad both cars came back unmarked, was only 2 seconds behind but most of the time I was on his bumper!

thanks

for those that are not as old as me to remeber, the yellow/green 306 is almost an exact copy of the 306s that raced in the 1999/2000 National Saloon Car Championship and is the exact colour, Linford Green named after the Peugeot Sport UK boss at the time, Mick Linford!

the National Saloon car championship became the BTCC production class in 2001 and the is where the red BTCC 306 raced, it has been stickered back up as it was when it was raced by the Norwigen Roger Moen, it would have won the championship but Roger crashed it on the last 2 races so the sister car won driven by Simon Harrison.

When I click on your website, to view your stock it asks for my registration number and postcode before it will show me anything.

Then it says you have no stock.

That annoyed me.

But anyway, keep up the write ups, thoroughly enjoyed that!

Car's pants Carl.

Got to remember Carl, he's from Bristol.

I like CSCC Tin Tops, it's good fun.

I like CSCC Tin Tops, it's good fun.

The whole cscc package looks good imo. Super saloons (iirc) that the anglia runs in looks interesting.

[Tony Hunter]

Some fantastic cars in that lot.

Rules go.

As long as it sort of looks like the original car, anything goes.

[Carl Chambers]

I will be at French car Show Donnington with the car testing ready for the CSCC round later in the year if anyone is coming along.

[not normal dan]

I'll be there, certainly get a few snaps for myself. Love the colour
