Here was me stressing to find time to wash my old smax, and some of you boys have rebuilt the car from the ground up 🤣

 

[Touring_Rob]

About to do a 60mile round trip for 2 bolts. FFS.

 

[JB21]

So how many are actually camping? There's 7 of us going who are camping Friday to Sunday.

[Clio_fool]

Just orders my weekend ticket. I guess I should dig the tent out. I don't think I own a waterproof jacket🤔.

Dont worry im still working on mine too, kangoo has no front end on currently

Might have been covered before but any static noise testing?

If they bother.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Your car will need to be stupidly loud to have any issues there.

 

[Clio_fool]

Thers a car wash near the circuit?

One just off the A55 between Gaerwen and Star

 

[Brigsy]

105db is good. The two im taking are around 100-102db on the static so getting up there. Turbo so driveby db is no where near as loud as some n/a..

Might need to use that before I get to the circuit 😂

Loud for turbo cars that 😅

Manifold --> turbo --> straight pipe?

Didn't think Jon's was straight piped 😅

The decatted unsilenced Milltek on mine is loud enough.

Both got silencers that dont do a lot. Extra van got black flagged at Donington for apparently 98.5db on driveby😅 Croft also reckon i triggered the driveby on a sighting lap a couple of years ago and retested me. Never got pulled in again was bizarre.

My old gtt with no silencers at all done 104db @4500rpm at cadwell. Even i was shocked😅

You should be fine mate, like @Ph1 Tom says you've got to be stupidly loud to have an issue.
The circuit is so far from anything else that they're pretty tolerant with the noise 😅

Out with the old AD08RS's, in with the 'new' (part-worn) Giti GTR2's! I know a few people on here have ran these before, I'm excited to see how they do!



Hopefully the forecast doesn't get any worse than it is already for the Saturday, otherwise I'll be bringing the Saab instead for the laughs

Thanks for making me check the weather, now I'm quite miserable.

 

[Touring_Rob]

Just ordered new wiper blades.

Yeah it's looking quite damp on the Saturday, especially in the morning

Hopefully it'll dry out for the afternoon session!

 

[Mr Underhill]

Saturday isn't looking too bad for you all. A bit damp in the morning, but you'll soon get a dry line. Slicks in the afternoon 💯

 

[Touring_Rob]

The only slicks on mine will be in my pants if its wet!

If its anywhere near as tail happy as last year my advice would be - don't go for the mid bend, round the outside overtake of the blue mini 😂

Yeah definitely don't do any driving near Rob

Last year I was behind him just f**king wetting myself. It was basically this scene🤣🤣

Hope no one tries overtaking mid corner to be fair, it kicks in race mode for me 😂
Though tbf, that was funny as to see so...I hope it's as tail happy. Sorry, not sorry 🤣

 

[Sj1782]

Is there helmets available to rent/borrow if acquiring a passenger band?

Hoping it’ll dry up very quickly if it does. Got some brand new ar1’s especially for this weekend 😂

 

[MarkCup]

For the trackday participants, is there any online briefing we have to complete beforehand or is it all taken care of in a briefing on the day?

On the day, the briefings are good, normally held in the cafe and then sighting laps.

With it being a split circuit day they have sighting laps for both circuits, one in the AM and then the next for the PM session.

What are the two circuit layouts called? I'd like to watch some younoob videos to see where I'm likely to spin wildly out of control.

I'm pretty sure both layouts are modelled after sex toys

 

[Touring_Rob]

This is where I regret whatever brake pad/tyre choice I have made this year I suspect.

Good news is the tyres and pads are the same as last year 🤦‍♂️

I've got better pads, higher temp fluid, and I'm doing the coastal layout to avoid that f**king braking zone 🤣

Either there or out of Church (3) all the way to Rocket In (6) is flat out, top of 4th in a Clio so 105-110mph ish iirc.

Then there's a bit of run off on the grass then the embankment into oncoming traffic exiting turn 7 (I've seen it happen) 😂

 

[DaveDreads]

Gutted I can't drive this track, the Clio hasn't worked properly for over two years and the Golf can barely handle normal road driving without falling apart, if I took it on track i'd be taking whatever's left home in a skip.

 

[G. Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

Though please remember, motorsport is dangerous and you take part at your own risk 😆

No balls 🤣

 

[JP83]

I'm camping Fri - Sun.

Squatting*

You going James?

I'm going to see if my 2118's fit the mini tomorrow, they are on some utterly dogshit but nearly new Hankook Ventus V12's which should serve as ok wets as long as they fit over the mini brakes... better in the wet than the year old half worn NS2R's I would think anyway.

Bought spare set of pads. Genuinely think it was cheaper last year to just buy a car and send it. This year I've bought a f**king RR to tow the mini, a tent, loads of other shite. Utter bellend I am.

My 2118s fit over 280mm Brembos so you should be fine son

I am, looking forward to catching up with everyone. Not been for a few years.

Yeah should be fine on road tyres especially if it's damp.
