Anyone going? Worth doing a stand?
I've just booked my tickets incl 3 track sessions as wanted to drive the new GP layout but not paying normal £300+ price for full track day.
Not been Trax for ages but heard its changed for the better so I'm going to check it out this year. :happy2:

Really good show last year, and the track time was awesome (especially when it rained and the 4 RWD Mazda's went grass tracking in front of me :laugh: :laugh:)
I have myself booked in for this on a trade stand again :wink: but I would really like to see us having a club stand :happy2:

I will probably heading to Trax, a couple of fellas from work went last year and said it great.
They are taking their sapphire Cosworth and daft 400bhp Rover 400 turbo this year into the track sessions. I'm considering taking the ed30 out for a couple of runs but I'm not sure if I trust myself or the other drivers.
-
I have just booked my tickets for this, gone for four sessions so let's hope weathers ok.

was expecting a 11.5 but not bad for the first outing. Once the s-tronic can launch as hard as a manual I think it will do a 11.5
The 750bhp evo cant make it for this weekend now, his old mans passed away :sad1:
-
May go but have a Ascot day on the Saturday supplier has a private box free champagne etc etc :drinking:

Can I come? :jumping:
-
Yeah yellow one with turtleson the side. Hes done more work to it again now, after the modded GTR beat him so he could regain his crown lol
Might do some track time, but nothing involving launching :signLOL:
-
Taking the GTI now so see you guys tomorrow :P
-
Well it's dry but a bit grey in Silverstone, but fingers crossed for a dry day :driver: :driver:
If anyone is coming along today you will find me/my car on the Milltek stand so pop by and say hello :happy2:
-
Any news on what the weathers looking like there now? Trying to decide whether to make the 1.5 hour journey but don't fancy it if its going to be lashing down as the weather forecast sites seem to suggest!
Cheers,
Deacon

Was raining now drying up.

Had a good day out at Trax...despite the 30mins queuing outside to get in and then with it being majorly wet in the first track session. 2nd session with SteveP following was wee bit better bit still quite damp!
3rd and final session was bone try and the clutch wasn't liking the abuse. But the AP's were much better tho compared to the OE 345's! :laugh:
The Nissan Academy cars were mental...and driving etiquette was shocking. No one paid much attention to the passing rules (including the Nissan's who just dived into the corners regardless if u saw them or not!)
Don't think I'll be venturing out at Trax again even tho the R held its own out there and happy with the way it went.
Did 3 videos using the new Pikey Mount set up so will see how they come out once edited. :happy2:
-
Good to see you today Lee :happy2:
Completely agree about the debacle that was the track time, the marshals did nothing about some of the crazy driving going on. I saw the pace car being over taken on a corner during the out lap and they didn't black flag the guy :surprised:
-
ok....pikey mount was made and used for the first time this weekend! Chungster Productions is up and running :signLOL: :signLOL:
First clip... Paxo spinning infront of me in first sesh.
and to prove the dodgy driving not abiding the overtaking rules!
Found out it was Ape's on SCN's mate in the M5, and Ape in the Forge stickered Leon having a play with him after i let Ape by.
Do have an hour's worth of HD coverage over 3 sessions but I'm not about to waste 4 hours trying to upload them :signLOL:
-
Just tried fixing the links but they aren't valid Lee

Yup I can not knock it whatsoever considering the cost outlay... thanks to Beddie big time on that one cos i was tempted to buy the GoPro kit.
-
Here you go Steve! :happy2:
-
Can you remove your interior mirror next time please. :wink: Great angle for the film. :happy2:

i know it's bloody huge (or in Beddie's words my screen is smaller than the Mk5's :grin: )
think the cam is prolly sitting a bit high but can't do much about that...unless i redo the pikey mount to make it go lower. It's headrest height basically at the mo.
-
Final vid for now.
Same session with Steve but before he passed me.....where we negotiated our way thru the M25 traffic!

Nice vids Lee.. What exhaust is that on yours, Blueflame? Sounds proper deep.. :smiley:
Must admit, I did like that M5 and it sounded :drool:

It's a Milly...similar to the Mk6 race system Steve had but mine has no rear boxes whatsoever! :signLOL:
So yeah it can be bloody deep and loud under full load!
