That's unbelievable! Snetterton bit of a jinxed circuit for you.

Hope it hasn't caused any major damage to the engine.

How many miles has this follower done then??

On a side note, is that cement dust all the way round the track on the racing line??  :confused:

Generally very well, still not running 100% but a lot better than the previous outings.

The KPM boys had a play with some suspension settings based on what they have found works better this year in the VW Cup and have taken the car up a step again.  :notworthy: :notworthy:

Also found my new favorite track day tyre, the Pirelli Trofeo, won't last more than 2-3 track days but the grip is as close to full slicks as I have found so far  :driver: :driver:

Aye they are meant to be good, come as standard on the new Exige. I will be disappointed if we dont have to change your tyres over each track day.  :rolleye:

Almost exactly a year since the last one went pop, 10 Track Days, 12  1/4 mile sprints,  less than 5k miles.  :confused:

Doesn't look as bad as last time, and they do make nice Napkin Holders   :signLOL:
 
KPM are changing the Cam Followers in the VW Cup cars every 2 meetings now.

Yeh Caterham did 2 complete laps pi$$ing oil.
