Nurburgring track day - both circuits linked
Ever fancied doing both circuits linked together like the VLN / 24hr boys do. Fancy going balls out down the straight rather than slowing for the cones. Flying laps? You will get it all here. A friend of mine has taken a huge risk by hiring the circuit for the day and as such this is a closed circui...

Talking of lights, perhaps you should recount the tale of the drivers briefing, Gary... Would that be the one where someone asked if we needed lights on when on track. The organisor said ''yes please''. Then someone asked if we should use fog lights too :D :D :D Seems like a valid question to me. T...

Some pro guys have looded at it and as said consider it a slap rather than a proper whack. As said the front legs can be put straight but there will always be a weak point there if I do it again.

Re: Peoples reviews on ARBs
I would suggest if you're pushing your car hard enough to warrant uprated ARBs on the road then you're going too fast

Re: Peoples reviews on ARBs
These cars perform really well without expensive uprated ARB's. Although saying that I did crash mine on Saturday
Would an uprated ARB have saved me, nope, just possibly made the car less progressive and ensured I crashed on a slower corner

Re: Silverstone GP 6th March £199
Car needs to be legal, or capable of being used in a race series. In other words no leaks, not dangerous, good enough to be used for the day and not cause others undue harm or concern. Therefore it doesn't need a current MOT / tax, but it does need to be good enough to survive a hard days use on tra...

I use EBC discs and yellows, braided lines, decent fluid and an AP lever bias valve. I have done a number of track days this year and everything has held up well.

Re: Which Coilover set up for track day cars?
Running H&R coilovers on mine which I think are brilliant. Going to try some harder springs on the back to change things a little though.
