Yeah don't worry about being there before. I drove Silverstone and Brands for the first time in warm up on the day. Knockhill was a wet test day the day before (where I went through the litter), and Snett was trackday the day before. Oulton was the only one I had real prior knowledge of.

You will be fine, and starting off in club has probably relaxed you a bit now. Don't worry, I'll move over when I see you coming up fast behind me

Remember, it's just supposed to be fun. The moment that stops then you are doing something wrong. Relax and enjoy it (including all this build up).

you wont even get on track if you try and run methanol Utaka - it is a banned fuel. Have you read the regs?

Don't be a pillock. They are the regs - you should read them sometime.

You mentioned methanol.

I am not picking sticks - just trying to offer some experience from competing in it in the last 3 years. Fine by me if you don't want it - I will just watch on. Enjoy TA

Utaka - 100% E85 or a mix?

Duncan - Whats your fueling plans for 2010? Were you about 50/50 last year?

I've still not moved the Impreza onto E85, but all things going well with it's mapping this week I'll give it a try Skyline runs 25% E85.

its just not constructive advise, its more like another dig, scoobyclinic will be preparing the car before every round and full support at each round, im sure they know what they are doing seeing as they have a full trophy cabinet in 2007/2008/2009, which shows they know what they can and cant use, the methanol comment was just a laugh hence the clap afterwards. i am happy to take any advice you give me duncan your an experienced driver with some obvious talent and club class 09 champ, just dont see what gives you the right to talk to me as if i am some sort of fool, coz i dont appreciate it.

if we can get sub 1200kgs which is what we are hoping for,then we will be getting a dance on at the clinic
the boot is stupidly light a carbon one couldnt be much lighter you can lift it with one hand and hold it up with ease, my car is a spec c so it was just the three skins anyhow instead of the five skins and sound deadening. but for everything that is taken off ie boot skins is added again with other parts like new spoiler and rear diffuser, so loosing a lot more weight once the essentials have all been removed is a lot harder than i first thought.

here is another side profile still with no skirts though and another of the rear diffuser being shaped

ok we have a car again. sorry photos are so crap forgot the camera and had to use my phone flat floor is on the pics are crap but its amazing in real life, the wings for the diffuser are in paint at the moment, i think colour coding some of the parts is a refreshing change from bare carbon, front bumper is off again being modified more to accept the front splitter and winglets , i tell you now every single piece of this kit has been altered in some way the work that has gone into it is incredible it really is,when you see it in real life you can really appreciate it has taken 3 months and far more work than any of us imagined to get it up to track use grade
well its done now and looks stunning engine is next and were looking at the finish line
spoiler is on and looks cracking so are my little carbon mirrors, by the end of next week there will be no more work on the shell to do. its having sti pink accenting on some bits which is gonna be sweet, the car is back on its standard suspension whilst we wait for my bespoke inverted dt/ rsi hotbits to arrive as it was on another cars suspension. still no skirts as they do come out a lot due to the width so its easier to work on the car with skirts off

this is a pic of the flat floor this covers most of the underside and will mate to the front splitter, i have pulled a section back as you cant really see anything otherwise
