Wicked day!.

In car vid below with Beav148 in the passenger seat. Chasing a Focus that kept pulling away from me on the straights. I finally got past then the git snuck past following two of those Westfield/Caterham things at which point Beav turns to me to tell me I'm far too polite :lol: Also back end steps out a bit on the last corner at 12.30

Good day all in all but looking back I could have pushed a lot harder and was braking far too early for some of the corners(all part of learning though).

No point pushing past your limit and binning it.. Then there would be tears :)

R'ash cars looking good in the pics ! Just a shame the photographer didn't catch you getting it on 3 wheels as it looked pretty spectacular when we were pushing each other :-)

:lol: yeah would have like to have seen it. How you rate your rsr's anyway? thinking of buying a set in 225 size for them rotas and doing away with swapping wheels over all the time. There's a site doing 225/45/17 at £85 inc vat and delivered!!

That's cheap might invest in some more at that price ! Can't fault them they've held up well to the track days I've done, just had issues with them rubbing on the rear trailing arms and inner quarters at oulton ! Had to strip the rear quarters down and clean and waxoyl them today :-(
