[svensktoppen]

Happy days! Been busy preparing here too - helmet on the passenger seat, AIM and Go-Pro charged, and, well, that is it really What could possibly go wrong

 

[svensktoppen]

Weather looks like it will be as brilliant as today

 

[Johnny_52]

Good day, four sessions and the Cupra was empty, and my tyres are not looking so good :0

 

[svensktoppen]

Brilliant day Once the brand new tyres were scrubbed in, and I remembered which way the circuit goes, wee Princess went very well

I still think the Fiesta brigade have the most fun of anyone out there!

Shame about Desmo's new toy, hope he got a run out in something after going all that way

 

[MarkM]

you went really well, very quiet though

Another great day at Kirkstown, Clio did five sessions without fault, really finding it difficult to gel with my new electric power steering, was fiddling with it all day, wish I'd stayed hydraulic
Hope the Cosgroves Mr2 and Brendens Clio get sorted for the next one without any major work, good spending the day with you mad lot and thanks to Nicholas for pointers
I only went off once, bonus

Wee clio lurking

 

[svensktoppen]

That Clio is FAST, but way too clean Mark just needs to learn not to crash out at the hairpin Made a very pretty cloud of brake smoke though

 

[Paul Hamill]

Had a great day today in the Tiger Hayabusa.Great range of machinery and excellent track manners from all.Roll on the next one.

 

[V8]

Busy

lol just edging towards you lap by lap, just left it a bit late on the brakes, eagerness overtook talent and off I went

Great days crack yesterday (we had a few quest drivers, with @DesmoBen and another driver interested in doing some tracking) with a fine array of cars and beautiful weather to boot.
Mixed emotions though as the MR2 stopped rotating late afternoon with suspected clutch problems (first time in 4 years), Dr Cousins is still deliberating. David was good enough to let me take a spin in his beautifully prepared Mazda though which helped ease the pain.
Anyway for now the quiet MR2 is holidaying on the Ards Peninsula with Desmo's clio

As always thanks to those at Trackskills and all the others that make the day possible.

 

[svensktoppen]

Nice dance moves

 

[mike_2]

Nice dance moves

Lol

 

[MarkM]

Lol

great vid, wrong year though

As my vids all look the same, here's a rear view, complete with a squeal from Emma when we almost made contact with Davys black Subaru out of Fishermans 2 lol

 

[mike_2]

Ah but right day

Nothing wrong with videos being the same, I have about 100 like that

Nice video Mark and great chatting to you yesterday.

 

[StephenDc2]

More of the same type of video and my only recorded session, had great fun on track and couldn't have asked for better weather. Trying to get a clear lap can be tricky and I was trying to pass without being too much of a pain

4 years of tracking that's really good they seem to stick the abuse rightly not forgetting the age of these cars now. I'm on the outlook for a cheap road worthy st202 celica may part take at some point but the journey down is the main issue and getting back ok!
