October Track day @ Oulton Park Tuesday 8th October

Featured Replies

Ive just checked them out, i could buy a whole set of front AND rear discs AND pads for the price of front ferodo 2500 pads :(

 

Cheaper than a new front end, or worse still a new car.

  • Fantastic day at Oulton Park, really good to meet up with you all, some old acquaintances and some new.    I can report there were no major issues, the Mongrel has a bit of boost trouble but Jason i

I have reviewed my DR400G footage and it looks like I had it angled too close to the dash.  Only half the windscreen is in shot LOL.

 

Anyway, looks like going on a couple of sessions my best lap is 2:13 when not pulling over, or being held up a bit. :)  Happy enough with that but wish I could have had a full day to learn the circuit better and try and put the instructor training to use.

Now we have all settled down after Oulton Park, what, when and where are we doing next?

 

 I see there is another at Oulton Park on 28th December, would break up Christmas nicely. Anglesey, Blyton, Cadwell maybe even Elvington as I have never done an airfield track day.

 

 What do you think?

Pictures from Tuesday are up on Javelin.

 

 Take a look HERE and HERE

I think I need to get my car working again first. ;)  Fancy Cadwell again though :D

Pictures look good, I have just ordered a 9"x6" and all images on CD for £30, a bit steep but it was Liam's first track session and he will remember it. 

Even got one of me lol

Half of my photos look to be from sighting laps as I am running on mis matched wheels :D

Couple of vids, 

First one doesnt have any of you I dont think, but has me following Dan in the silver 25 round for 10 minutes (I was on normal road tyres at this point which felt weird). Interesting bit tho is near the end. The megane I let between us throws it into the scenery!

And the last run i did before using up all my unleaded. 

This has a fair few skodas in it. Guy in the black fabia hatch seemed pretty good, who was it? Loved the Fabia estate!

Sorry I didnt speak to anyone, the day just goes to quick

the day just goes too quick

Like your rover!!!

We speculated what kind of power they must be running and rounded to about 250 but 305 as per your signature is even more scary!!

Hoping the Golf will be 350+ by next spring through AWD should be a well set car for the track.  Had no idea the Rover was 1.4  impressive as is the overlay of dials on the video, how do you do that then?

250 is actually pretty close, how did you figure that out?!? On the boost I was running it was indeed 240-245bhp.

And it is a 2.0 really, the car just started life as a 1.4!

 

The overlays are done with info from the ECU log and racerender2.

How did the the guys with the Octys get on?

Id wanted to take ours on track but didnt get a chance thanks to theiving scumbags.

 

Anyone get any in car footage with one?

I think the only video footage I've seen of my car from this event is when you followed me out of the pits and down to the hairpin in your second video.

Great shots there flanders, some action too, an old Golf passing a Fabia  :happy:     In fairness Cliff was leaving the pit lane and I was on a flyer after removing the ABS fuse..

 

 You must have walked the circuit mate as you have pictures from a few locations.  Thanks

Pics look good! Cheers for taking them. They are better than the paid photos!

I think I have a few more with you on, Ill see if I can dig them out and put all skoda ones in together. 

Problem is you were all to polite and jump out the way! Im more than happy to follow you round for a bit. 

 

 

That magane got some serious air, I thought he was going in the tyres. Then he landed and was pointing at me! (hence my trip to the inside). Was stuffed as the best option was to accelerate but i was so off boost I was going nowhere! 

 

Here are a couple of pics my dad took, looks like the guy in the fabia is sending one down the inside :)

Looks like you all had a good day. Very much looking forward to getting back on track at Combe in April now that (touch wood) the injector/fuelling issues are sorted with the vRoomster.

That sort of thing needs deciding face to face in the pits before heading out  :thumbup:  With the rule about letting quicker cars past, I was also very keen to move out the way of anything quick. :)

Yeah I did walk to a fair few places. Not often I take photos there usually on track. I just need a longer lense as they are all taken with a 55mm lense!!
