Sprint on the 13th (mlr and 22b) - no passengers I'm afraid
Track day on the 19th - Volvo t5d5 charity day I've done for years. Passengers not an issue, but you have to donate I think

Wrap complete. Thank god it didn't rain this weekend.
Standard brakes (new discs + pads) back on to check wobble and I've run out of time with the others. So far unimpressed by the yellowstuff, hope some hard driving this week sorts them. They are supposed to be pre-bedded but I don't believe it. Really wasn't trying and had them smoking within 20 miles ON THE FECKING ROAD. Oh well don't need them to last long on a sprint. The 310 kit will be back on soon as soon as the discs are new or straight.
My PC680 battery seems screwed. Won't hold much more charge than about 15% so going to try another charger to kick it back to life. It's been disconnected as well. Warranty claim if that doesn't work hmm - it's only 5 months old

So a decent showing at combe yesterday. 48th overall but 4th in class beating some serious kit (and everyone from work lol). Best lap into the 1:19s, just 1.3s off a R35 GTR and about the same to 3rd in class an e46 m3 track car. Pretty committed on that lap it has to be said (5th flat over Avon rise after flat through the bus stop chicane was hairy).
Think I might need a driveshaft otherwise it went well. Not a massive fan of the yellowstuff pads tbh, but those ad08r were awesome. Night and day in the wet and damp over r888 and the nangkang track tyres..

Oh no they put in 2x extra chicanes for the sprint, bus stop on the main straight and one at the end. Runs from the start line to nearly the pit entrance. It was fairly hairy that lap, but I could go quicker I think.

Looks so good with the morettes. They suit a ph.1 quite well it seems.

does the wrap constitute a DVLA update? (if it's a road car)
It goes, it stops (as reqd).
