The car is going up for sale soon. I could be after a Renaultsport Clio to replace it!

I know I haven't updated this recently. Season is now over. I feel I could have done much better. The car has been great! I haven't been so great. Much improvement to be made. The last round was at Donington Park on the GP circuit. It was also televised. Here is the youtube version. It's...

The racing was like this all race! I'm at Croft this weekend. Anyone local? Would be a good meeting to watch as the clio 182 championship is there also.

You should definitely have a go. Especially if someone with experience can see you have some natural talent behind the wheel. There's a lot of pretty clueless drivers on track believe it or not. You're safer towards the front of the pack rather than at the back.

Recently been to brands hatch. Me and car performed really well. Very close racing yet contact free! Great race 1 footage of myself on TV!

Would you say it's the same level of competitiveness though? Like in mazdas I was 0.7 seconds off pole at brands and that put me 16th on the grid out of 35. A new set of tyres and brakes could have been the little extra I needed to get up there. Fair play to you if you can do it on used hard...

yeah you can make your brake pads and tyres last more than one weekend, but you wont be anywhere near the front.

I looked into it moving from mx5 racing to the clio 182 championship. Asking around you need a set of new tyres and a full set of discs and pads per weekend. 2 or 3 gearboxes a season. Lots of spare panels and doors. My race budget wasn't big enough so I stuck with mx5s.

Erm... Well what can I say? April the 2nd was the first meeting of the 2016 season. Bare in mind the car hasn't moved since October 2015. Myself and the car has had no practice or testing prior to Oulton Park. Saturday morning was wet. I re-timed the engine over the winter and I'm very happy...

Donington Park 2014. Rubbish qualifying put me 20th on the grid. I made up 15 places to finish 5th. Last lap lunge included at the final chicane.

Cadwell park 2015. Finished 14th. Good 3 way battle. I got put into the barrier on the first lap.

Here is the first race of last year. A little rusty. First time in the A race. Had a little contact on the first lap dropping me back to dead last in 28th place. Work my way back up to 21st. Man on a mission with a bent wishbone.

In the meantime I'm waiting for a few parts so thought I'd polish up the AK Automotive exhaust sy stem

I bought it off someone who bought it off finishline. It was okay back then but nothing compared to how I have it now! I'm good friends with one of finishlines welders. He used to race in 2014 also. Finishline supply my brake pads - mintex m1144. Great for the money on a car like this. Maybe not...

New calipers! :)
