French Car Show - Good Day Out
- Thread starter Boz
- Start date
The stand wasn't as well layed out as last year, but as said I'm sure it's a nightmare to organise on the day!
The only thing I'd change would be to get rid of the fence between the track and last/first corner as it made taking pictures a nightmare. Can't see that happenin though! LOL!
Everytime I came back over to the stand from the infield there were hardly any people on the stand so didn't get to say hi to anyone! But thats down to my rubbish timing!
Can't believe the massive detour we took up the M1 on the way there! I was worried when asked to lead with how many people were in convoy that my satnav would send us to the wrong place! Apologys if we lost anyone on the way!

I'm not really in to showing my car - its a trackday toy.
So I was just gutted about the brakes but I still don't understand why FCS had stupid blokes on motorbikes and monster trucks?
There were no real signs showing where to go and the tunnel was a pain in the ar*e.
I'd go again just to go on the track but as the for the attractions - well maybe if your 5.......
LOL

So you had a brake problem? I saw your car with loads of gear in front of it. Was going to say hi as I recognsed the car but you looked well stressed, so thought I'd not interupt!

Yeah I've warped the bell housings on my Godspeed 4 pot kit using DS3000 pads which are a bit too much for the road.
Andy at GDI gave me a good deal on one of there 4 pot kits so we were trying to fit it.
In the end I decided not to as paddocks are not the best place to setup brakes.

i think the show has changed to much into a donny show more about being a show instead of being about the cars. last year seemed to be about the track and the 1/4 mile but this year was about the side shows and the rocket man from the USA:clown:
good to see a good turn out didnt get to talk to many peeps due to being in the queue for the track or the 0 to 60
track was good crack but i missed not having the toyo r888's on the car

Was not a bad show, minus the chavs. That commentator was such a w*nker though, I thought this was a million pound show? lol Im sure they could afford a better guy.. "Ohh wow, look at that - another 360 burnout" STFU n00b. Not a bad day either, still warm regardless of the clouds towards the afternoon, and good to see all the Clio's!
show was really good, gotta agree the guy with the microphone was a nob! the stunts were ok, best bit was when the moto x'r fell off doing a backflip. didnt particularly think it worked well within the show tbh.
the tunnel to the pits was a major pain, having to walk up the stairs etc. trying to find a cash point was impossible, came to the conclusing there wasn't one.
on a plus point though the stand looked good the cars even better and was nice to see alot of the cars that you see so many photo's of in the flesh.
also managed to get myself some Brembo Max Discs from yozza for 60 notes so that made my day!
good show all round though

Not got a car
Didnt like any of the entertainment, Theres only so many doughnuts and wheelies you can take. Might as well have gone to truckfest.
I can still hear that spanner on the mic going round in my head.
Shame it wasnt based on the actual cars and clubs.
Best thing was the R5's and having a look round clio sport. The rest was turd.

Didn't see much of the track action, I mean how much can you see from so far away. Watching the 0-60 runs were ok for about 5 mins. How much can you do with a "stand" anyway? Most of the stands looked the same, like big carparks. Tbh I went for the social aspect. I missed Lusty's entrance . Didn't get to speak to you Lusty, but apparently you are a nice lad who asks questions and listens to the answers that are given. You don't lack confidence though, I'll give you that! Hope you get your brakes sorted Matt. Good to meet a few more faces too. Highlight of the day for me was on the journey home. Driving past Tucks in his Williams, I believe it was TomS (apologies if I'm incorrect) in the passenger seat wearing a Darth Vader mask! Legend! It was brilliant the way he just gave an approving nod across to us when we went past. Just imagined Darth Vader saying "alright?" Lmfao.

the track time was good to watch but only decent place to view it was way up high in the stands... could see most of the track then...
the caterhams were wickedly fast bit strange seeing them out with the clio's...
yozza's car looked massivly quick compared to alot of the other stuff out there.... think i have gotta do a track day now looked very fun!
convoy down was a good laugh although those speeds in that weather was interesting! used a tank of fuel yesterday and i only live a hour away from rockingham!
seeing peoples faces as twenty clio's went past was brilliant. shame it was so wet with spray as photo's were hard to get!
anyways tahnks again guys was great hope to meet some of you lot properly sometime!

Being a newbie and not going to this FCS but have been to previous FCS show's (Bruntinthorpe) but its sounds that a new venue there was bound to be hiccups.The people involved in setting up and organising the club stand should be commended ! As a person thinking of paying to a forum and hearing what read on here doesn't fill me with confidence.
Im sure that the organises of the FCS will take on board of the valid points made by forum members and next years will be bigger and better (Fingers crossed)
My 2p worth
Thanks

Apart from being p!ssed off I didn't have my real car and had to turn up in a courtesy piece of junk it was all good.
Totally knackered after a 4am start and didn't get home till almost 9pm.
Russ @ Gas performance, top bloke happy to help ya out

I have to say the track organisation was poor, I was in the black Saxo on your track session, i missed our Saxo Sports Club session as i was not given a track pass when i signed on so was not allowed on the track. Went back to the sign on desk and was told it was ok, come back when the queue was shorter.
Went back 30 min later was told i wouldnt be allowed on at all, so i kicked up a fuss as it was their fault i didnt get on originally! So in the end they let me on with you guys and had a good session - that blue 172 with the gold alloys was stupidly fast!
I had a good day from a social aspect, but the show itself was poorly organised and if i wasnt a member of a club id see no reason to go again. Bring back Brunters

I enjoyed it The Vee got a lot of people taking photos, and the drive to the track with a Trophy (number plate seemed to say Alex?) following me cos he didn't know the way either was nice - although I resisted the temptation to boot it cos it was greasy, and I had no idea where I was going heh.
