How was pauls megane r26r doing on track ?
great photos

Feirny · Jul 25, 2011

Pretty good from what I saw, tried timing a few laps that it was doing from the side and it was 1:27s and the GT2 RS was 1:20ish with all the traffic.

There was a left hooker that went out, guy from Ireland

Feirny · Jul 25, 2011

Ahh didn't see that go out, saw it in the paddock though.

Feirny · Jul 25, 2011

I'd definitely go again soon. It's a great track but I think I still like Cadwell more.

Fletcher said:

Yes I would.

Nige · Jul 26, 2011

What a cracking day yesterday !

Once all the red flags were out of the way, I had some great lapping. Was following the Clio who split a coolant hose at Coppice, that made for an interesting moment ! He had sorted it over lunchtime though.

The Clio with the orange wheels was smoking badly off throttle, valve guides ?

My wife took a load of photos and I have video of every lap I drove, so I`ll get some uploaded asap. I think a lot of the Clios on track are on film at some point

Nige, the OTHER MK2 Golf driver...

Did Lou get any of me, not that I was out for long

Stacemeister · Jul 26, 2011

Better introduce myself. I was there in a silver 172 with different coloured wheels. Two white, one silver and one bright green!! RX53..

Beaniemoo · Jul 26, 2011

are you the guy with the golf and the crazy diffuser?! which everytime it went round a corner it was waving its rear wheel at me? i spoke to you briefly in the pits.. you NEED to get a sticker in the your car so people can rear it when going round haha.. it was a bit tricky after coops' car did a wee on the track!

I have a video which shows the reason for the very first red flag haha

Weeman · Jul 26, 2011

The car that wee'd on track had me on the grass at the first corner LOL

My car was being shared on the day by Gem (first time on track) and her Dad, also first time on track, so apologies if it wasn't going fast enough or holding you up LOL.

Some of those clios are proper quick, Roffle at the one with the stiocky out exhaust silencer/ add on quietener

jon_r · Jul 26, 2011

Nige, what a rediculous username. I'm going to see if 'Nige' is free. Loving the Northloop invasion.

Hang on, you've already got Nigep on the ntlworld address.

that would be beanie. He has noise issues and Bedford have banned him until he gets an airbox. I'm told he was having to feather the throttle yesterday too, so he didn't get thrown off

Weeman · Jul 26, 2011

Few pics containing Clios

My mate Geoff with the Sunbeam managed 107 drive by LOL For the rest of the day he had to drive down the right of all the straights to miss the testers LOL

sideways danny · Jul 26, 2011

PMSL, nice tactic. Went round Bedford with Tony Hunter on friday and we got a noise board, so he did a half throttle lap.......noise board

Yes mate, thats me

Good to chat yesterday. I`m hoping someone has some incar behind me with the Golf tri-podding

The `aero` got a few sarcastic comments in the morning around the paddock

Jon, I forgot what i`d registered as, anyway name now changed.

Hehe that was indeed me, got blackflagged twice before lunch so spent the rest of the day shifting at around 6500rpm and not using full throttle which was a bit of a downer but at least I got to stay.

Most likely. I`ll check.

Here`s one she took of Northy for starters

Somehow I got a warning about mine being too loud but I'm sure it was the M3 racecar that they picked up...mine wasn't as loud as some of the noisy buggers there!

Good to meet you at last Dave...car looked mint as well

@ Nige. I don't suppose your missus got any of mine...White 172 Cup with a carbon bonnet?

Cheers

Chris

Steve · Jul 26, 2011

Ditto matey, thanks for saying Hi.

I imagine Lou will have a few Chris, if they go up on Northloop first I'll have a look.

Don't suppose there's any more with that red valver in the background behind the white one? Wasn't expecting my car to be out on track but I let Dan borrow it after killing his box
