dont make it too good, i might want one myself
Dal has been trying to get at my wallet for years

 

i believe that once you have done your ards test then you can send off for your race licience group b.

ards tests are quite easy to book and are being taken on plenty of cucuits all over uk, cost around £300 so i wouldnt worry too much about this matt

cadwell park track day sounds good to me mate, go on openpitlane.co.uk and click on trackday calender and pretty much all trackdays available are on there with links

i think everyone would be bored driving mine now with only 450hp

 

Atleast it will be reliable at that!!

 

its the two doctors appointments you have to go to one for a health check and one for a **** test. i recieved my ards pack on friday, just seems a lot of agro and more money for time attack, but if needs must. gonna see what rob barnes says.
i will have a look on the site and p.m you with dates i can go to cadwell
prob be in just my evo though

 

thats the whole point of my exersise. my van was quicker round a full lap at oulton than my ra with my old engine.

 

no way man, what van ya got, must be a beast? wanna lend it to me so i can go in club class

 

luv it

 

 

the twists and turns of my time attack entry continue, ill cut a long and fairly boring story short,had an e-mail this morning from rob barnes, i will now be starting my first time attack in club class, if within two rounds i am too quick (which i doubt in year 1 with an untested car) i will be moved up to club/pro, it means i dont need an ards licence, but i may well still persue it just in case i do need it.
i am a lot happier with this arrangement, gives me a chance to learn the car and gain some experience of driving laps in anger

 

Good stuff. Atleast you know for sure what class you're entering. Will be very interesting to see how you get on. Best of luck dude looking forward to seeing the car in action

 

Matt,

Getting an Nat B license means you can run the car on test days which can be a bit quicker paced and better organised than a regular trackday, not so good for driver training but very good for car setup testing.

 

yeah nice one mate hopefully have pics of it as a car this week instead of bits and pieces

 

yeah ill persue the nat b but now there is no immediate rush which is a big relief as i still have trackdays to do at cadwell and knockhill as i have driven niether

 

im doing cadwell in 3 weeks if anyone else fancies it drop me a p.m
gonna do oulton with andy after that 22nd of feb if anyone fancies that also
also going to venture to knockhill in the coming weeks. ill travel up the night before, again let me know if interested

 

I'll pop for a watch, what dates Cadwell?

Mine wont see the light of day before Easter, too much to do around the house, once thats done I can make a start on prepping the Scoob for a few trackdays.

 

i wont be taking the subaru on there even if it was done 1st time round, its very tight and technical, been doing runs of it on the simulator and its hard, there is a very tight end section through some high banks then round an extremely tight right to the start/finish line, there are loads of leaps of faith where you appear to be full throttle but you cant see beyond the apex so you just got to hope your line is good
i think its origionally a bike track thats why its so narrow. it looks pretty scary, onboard laps in a radical on you tube look mental

 

Its my local track and I love it, Hoping to get in the low 1.40's this year.

Which I dont think will be bad cosidering the spec I have.

 

Cadwell is fun

 

Utaka: A lot of TA newbies wont have driven tracks before getting there on the day. Adds to the excitement LOL

Knockhill: We are having a 4hr trackday at Knockhill on sat 6th Feb if you are interested.

You'll struggle to find a full day (9-5) trackday at knockhill

 

thanks adam ill look into it. if you do or can find an 8 hour session i would be up for that. im coming from bristol so would really need the day or two consequtive 4 hour days perhaps, if you could let me know that would be fab

 

i dunno looks scary to me but im new to kaning flat out, your part of the furniture

what was your first time round like?

 

6th and 7th Feb are two consequtive 4hr weekend sessions.

6th - TrackScotland
7th - KH HotMarques (car value of 15k+....they are flexible, but a bit prissy on race cars)

Long time ago ^

 

Cadwell is a good laugh. If you get your lines right when coming back up the little hill and get your foot well in, you will be airbourne opposite the club house.

Nailing it over the blind crest of the home straight hill and stamping on your brakes for the 90deg left hander, gets your passenger touching the windscreen with their nose!

Not sure what the actual course names are for those area's.... I was too busy having fun to find out!

 

smooth
thats when your car was pretty standard though i take it lets have a look at a recent one so i can really shat me pants
