CSF23 Clio Sport Festival 2023

[Sir_Dave]

Forget where @Panda. lives, seem to remember him being further that way than us. Can you remember the user name of Tom with the Caterham?

Pretty sure it was @R29TJR
@Panda. is up north, so deffo closer than us, although im pretty sure Anglesey is miles away from everyone

I'm acting all surprised about where it is but I already planned my journey in Feb

Its a journey alright.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Can confirm, this bear does not.

Can also confirm, that bear sits in other peoples piss in Gucci suits.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Would have thought something like £20 for 10-15 mins would be a price people would be happy to pay? I'm sure you could charge more and have fewer takers but much less you would be getting near to at cost?

@Sunglasses_Ron, apologies if I have missed it. Is there any tuition available on the day do you think? Track looks fairly fast and I think a few tutor sessions would help me a lot.

yes there’s going to be one instructor possibly two.

Sadly, a little bit too far to "pop" over - 3 fecking days if I walked, too.

I'm sure you'd make it in 2 if you put the Jesus sandals in overdrive

 

[Simon1975]

I def ain't walking

 

[MrBlonde]

About the same for me also mate @Simon1975

What gets me is the train time! Must have one train per day going there, may as well cycle.

Have you got so little faith in your cars you're considering the train?

 

[Touring_Rob]

Have you got so little faith in your cars you're considering the train?

Have you gotten over the zero drug policy shock yet?

And no, there is zero chance of getting me on a train for 13 hours to Wales I would rather get an Uber.

 

[DaveDreads]

It'll be fine, that's what edibles are for.

 

[Drewk24klio]

I think me and the missus are going. Romantic weekend away

I mean, I would have just left the Clio in the UK and then driven back to Poland from Anglesey but your commitment to the cause is worthy.

I'd have to replace even more of the car than I already have! Thought I'd give it an MOT and drive back but I've ended up replacing all the front brakes as it is! 🤣

About time, Anglesey doesn't have corn fields....just cliffs 🤣

I am never getting in a car with you again!

I swear on my recently deceased Nan's life! Obviously we aren't counting warning lights, it's a Renault after all 😂

 

[ArcticBlue_one8two]

If anyone needs any advice on good places to stay/eat I live about 5 minutes from the Anglesey Circuit!💪 Epic choice, the track is superb! Looking forward to this!

My sentiments here line up with @DaveDreads - please see below 🤣

Can tell what the average age of attendees is to this, you're all booking hotel rooms for more than entire cottages are on airbnb like 5 mins from the track

Buzzing that this is at Anglesey though, my favourite track.
I'll be coming, debating now weather i want to camp or live in luxury
Theres a 100% chance of wind for 100% of the time at Anglesey
And probably still a 98% chance of rain even in August

At least it doesn't have a miss fire, low compression on one cylinder and cut out randomly with no warning lights at all, I think it's pissed off I stopped using it as a daily.

I'm convinced mine was pissed off that I left it in England when I moved to Poland in August last year. It had been absolutely faultless until then but as soon as I left it started chewing up discs, throwing up warning lights, boot light wouldn't turn off, boot wouldn't lock etc...
All the brakes have been replaced now which solved a lot of the issues and the boot magically started locking again after 2 days back in my ownership. It's an abusive relationship for sure, but I wouldn't have it any other way. She's the one ❤️

That's exactly what mine's like, it has moods which get worse the less I use it.

 

[B-shaw557]

Also anyone looking at routes, if youre coming from the midlands or south of the midlands, don't go up to chester and across, go via A5 and Bala, the roads are some of the best Wales has to offer.
What adds to the whole Anglesey experience is the roads you can take to get to it. Through Snowdonia etc.
Ignore the evo triangle though, its trash.
If youre coming from south south, go via Elan Valley (go explore Elan Valley if you have time) some of those roads are epic too.

I'm sure some of the welsh guys can give you all a better idea of the roads you want to take, but I'm happy to help if anyone wants some ideas.
@SharkyUK can help here I'm sure.
Bringing the GT4 mate?

 

[Brigsy]

Ive booked an airbnb cottage for this right near the circuit. Prob only bring one vehicle this year due to distance.

This.

Come in around Kidderminster> Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Llangollen, A5 all the way through to Anglesey rather than up past Brum.

(@Ol’Tarby! The londis in Bethesda also has a cracking beer selection but it's all shelf and not fridge stock)

Breaks the motorway (and the A55 will 100% be w**k BH weekend)

Probably won't add that much time to it.

Whenever I head to Cornwall/the south I avoid the M6 and head down that way.

Next time you do it, come off the A5 and head to Bala, trust.
I normally go A5 back as its still nice and slightly more chill.
You need to be alive and kicking so you dont drive off a cliff going via Bala, so I tend to do that on the way there.
The B4391 it is, arguably the best road in Wales. Then Bala to Festiniog, then whatever route maps says, none will be dissapointing.

I've driven loads of the road's, just thought I'd post a simple direction towards Anglesey rather than motorway.

Ysbty ifan>Festiniog is one of my favourite roads tbh but there are loads of hidden gems.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Oh, also the road from the A5 to Bala, if you get caught behind a caravan you should just kill yourself.

Same, driven to Anglesey loads of times and taken a different route each time, after Bala
Loads of options, the A5 is still great just can be a bit trafficy, especially BH

Amazing work guys. I'm in. Better get working on the cup. It's not seen the road in 5 years.

 

[Pegasaurus Rex]

So how many people are actually planning on camping? I was but can see mainly people booking hotels/air Bnb!! 🤷‍♂️
