I'm on the 10th mate and my GDF is getting lessons also but I will be arriving on the Monday night as my friend has both days
Yes mate, I Wil look out for you, is it the Clio in you avatar?
Yes buddy, i will be with a track prepped cupra and mini cooper S as well as about 15 Audis lol (all R, S and RS models).
Yeah it does pretty well and upsets a few,ore expensive cars, I'm very sure it would be even better with a good driver lol
Here are some pics from Spa last week some of me driving and some of the girlfriend having her first ever drive on a track.
The car was very good but I have decided during the winter to have the gearbox off, fit a LSD, new clutch and quite a big list of other things, I will update as they happen.
Anyway here are the pics

Looking good Gaz, your girlfriend had balls going out with a instructor at Spa even though she has never even driven the Clio haha Balls of steel award indeed. 
Just a quick update ( no pics at the min sorry as I am in Holland and the car in the UK)
My friend has the car in his garage (Elite AutoWorks) and over the next few months its getting the following parts fitted hopefull all done before Spa in March.
Wilwood Brakes with brackets etc made by Radical Motorsport as my friend works alot with them
Quaife Diff
Full Gearbox rebuild
New clutch
Lightweight flywheel (may aswell while box and clutch is off)
New steering Rack as mine is dead
Whiteline arb
Geometry set up
Corner weighted
Decat refitted
Headlight Blanks
Plexi windows
Fire system
Aircon removed
and if I still have time more weight lose where possible
Hopefully I can get all this done as soon as possible then get it back to my house in france for a few weeks of tinkering.

ooks like some serious work oing on there Gaz, I'll be keeping an eye on this to see how it turns out.
Very nice Gaz bet you cant wait until its finished. How many weeks has it been at Sanjays?
Ok sweet mate. Mine still needs the rings doing!!
Not yet, I will prob only do 1 day at Spa and maybe 1 day at DN7 to keep costs down. im not earning the big bucks any more lol
Ok mate, I look forward to seeing you there, I'm not going to do Nurburgring in April but hope they will do one later in the year.
Not a huge update as I haven't see the since October but the garage sent me a couple of pics today, so far the white line arb is now on, gear box is in pieces for the rebuild and quaife LSD and the wilwoods are now fitted.
I will be collecting at the end of the month and getting it home for lots of parts to be fitted so look out for updates through march.
