Film from the National Day at Blyton

Here is a link to some in car as I trundled around trying to learn the circuit. Watch out for the Clio (you don't see it for long!)

Perhaps others will post links to video and photos here.

Great day out well done to all.

That is a great video... love the foot work :cool:

Were you the chap set up in the middle of the field?

:agree::agree::agree:

You should be on strictly come dancing with footwork like that.

Any progress on the brakes?

I left her with my pit crew but they didnt get to her yesterday. You can see I was braking very early and carefully on the film. New fuel pump to fit aswell it was screaming when I stopped at a services on the way home. I could have picked it up from Bob onthe day and saved the postage.

:cool: nice and smooth Mr T

I have no doubt the left foot and brake needed to be used in the ikle track beastie as 2nd was to low and 3 bogged down a touch on 2 of the corners and just bottled it :D Rob never and span out at 110mph lol

H&T seems to be my natural level, athough LFB def going to come into play in the future once I get more used to the car

Hopefully out again Monday coming at Bedford (GT circuit) as the weather seems to be getting colder :sad2::sad2::D

Was going to do Cadwell 10th August but gonig to have no time to touch car and worried about it been wet, hence Bedford and never driven there before :cooter:

I nearly spun coming out of the fast chicaine carrying ballast in the form of Alex in the pasenger seat certainly grabs the attention at that speed :eek:

Oh and yes I was in the middle of the field, the only R5 with a great big hole in the bonnet :D

As for smooth it will be a lot more franetic this weekend when Im trying to set a time at race boost . Im up against 2 of the very fastest cars in England in my class and another top driver in a Clio 172 with a gripper diff who will fly around that track.

excellent film Russell :agree:.

Love the "foot cam" , nice work..

Keep up the good work showing old renaults can still play with the big boys with new toys :)

latest on the brakes, pit crew took one of the calipers apart as it was slow to bleed and found a piece of swarf in the transfer tube almost completely blocking the flow of fluid to the outer pistons :eek:

No wonder I was having problems in effect only 1 front brake working!

Another in car from our ND at Blyton this time passing a blue Clio KW03NLC before letting by the PMT car and the gruesome twosome formation flying. Finishing with another hot Clio burning me off, was Emma driving?
