Next Event: Mondello 2004 - The Sequel

Hello everyone!

It was great to meet you all.

Very impressive driving display by some, but the main thing is that everyone of us, with our own cars and driving skills really seems to enjoy it! I did anyway.

It was my first track day with a car, did quite a few on bike before. It's pretty amazing to see how fast our car can go. When I saw the Mcoupe (the drift master of the day but with 3 or 4 very impressive drivers in the M connection!) drifting out of the last corner I was wondering why I didn't get one myself, the answer being obvious, I wouldn't be able to drive it like this (and I couldnt afford it either!)

The golf Mk1 at the end was fast as well.

The lesson of the day for me was: doesn't matter how powerful your car is, you'll have great fun on the track, so hopefully we'll have another day out in the future with even more drivers/cars!

Thanks for the organisation

Anyone got a good address for parts, I need brake pads!

I had the same thing too. I think it's because the oil become hot therefore more fluid so the pump strugle to keep the pressure up and the tappets don't see enough lubricant. Thickier oil at high temperature would be the answer, especially on a warm day.

Geez guys, sorry I missed this, I promised myself I'd be on the track for the next one and I'm sorry to say I neglected the forum :(

Thx Richie for the update on Friday. We had a washout in Newtownards, I take it the weather was better at Mondello?

Great day on saturday, thanks to eveyone who organised it, myself and a few of the usual suspects were out yesterday too! Need a day off after all the driving! Hopefully we can see another trackday soon......

My hat goes off to you ZM Coupe.That was some drivin.Must get out with you the next time for a few laps! Is that car in standard form or is it tweaked?

Porsche day was more good fun - but I wasted ANOTHER set of rears!!

Was all good fun though, you think ZM Coupe is nuts u should sit in with his brother in the Porker embarassing 106GTi - He's stone mad!!
