05th - Trackday @ Brands Hatch

Hi all,

Time to get the ball rolling with the first of many (hopefully!) UK trackdays in 2010 - It's with our friends at TrackAction-Online again, at Brands Hatch (Indy circuit) on Friday 5th February.

It's an open pitlane format trackday, 105dB is the noise limit, and I'm sure Steve will pop along soon with track time details.

He's also sorted us a good price again @ £125 per car/driver, £35 for extra drivers, £10 for passengers, and £20 for a garage. There's also free instruction available for any drivers that want it.

And as a nice touch, if we can get 10+ bookings, he'll throw a couple of garages in for free.

Payment to be made here: http://cart.trackaction-online.co.uk and although that shows a price of £150, if you add your name to this thread before payment, myself or Steve will PM you the discount code.

Any questions, by all means please ask.

Uuuuuuummmmmm.............................OK then. You know I'll be there Mart.:cool:

As long as you can take the Heave Ho being wasted by my family bus. :coffee:;)

Im up for this one :)

Me too , is there a limit to the number of bodies?...etc , i wanna finish the cup to a spec im happy with by the middle if not earlier of jan...id love to do brands, it looks amazing...:)

Hi fellas and thanks for shouting up to come along to another one of our days out :cool:

We will, as usual, be limiting numbers to make sure that queueing is kept to a minimum so booking sooner rather than later would be good. Having said that, I would guess you'll get away with early Jan.

I'll PM each of you the booking info and discount codes.

Steve H

As i'm off work i'd love to come down to catch up with you guys and spectate :)

Hopefully I should be able to pop down after work and say hello. If it's not too busy!

Come on Bill, take a days holiday, pump the water from inside T-Cup, fire here up and bring the old girl along. Might be nice to have 3 coupes on track (Wheres Penfold aswell?) :D:ho:

Sombody get eugine on the case as well in ol black cup o muck :ho:

It shouldn't be though, as Tom and I helped him take the engine and crane back to his dads place over a month ago. The lot is literally sitting infront of the car. Eug is just a lazy ****.

Get ya names down folks :agree: :D

You've been whinging on about a lack of southern location trackdays of late, so here's an ideal chance for the 'locals' (and of course, anyone else) to blow the winter dust off your cars.

There will be a Spa + 'Ring trip come Easter/May time (details to follow), and hoping to squeeze in a Snetterton trackday in-between Brands & that as well. If not, for sure there'll be a summertime Snetterton trackday :agree:

Same as t-cups first outing? spectating not an issue ? and full use of pit lane? hopefully no exploding volvos two garages down... and no hubs having to be removed from old trusty ?:laugh:

Might save my pennies for the Spa/Ring trip...now that be a good shakedown for the 2ltr conversion :D

But I'll pop down and spectate for this though, its only a 2hr drive :smokin:...:wasntme:...

Suhki, for the sake of a ton & pony, you'll be missing out mate, and if there is any shakedown 'testing' to be done, surely you'd rather carry that out at a 'local' track where it's not gonna cause you a headache getting the car back home (should something go pete tong), as opposed to getting it home from across the channel.

Aii mate, it'll bring back happy memories of that eventful day :D

No prob's with spectating, and pit-garages will be available; either a score a pop, or a couple of them for gratis if we can muster together 10+ bookings.

Ile try book holiday, maybe tough as ive been off ill for a year :) ile give it a go :) how much to be a passenger etc ?

I like to think even Mart would give me the benefit of the doubt for not attending on track......... Thaaaaaaaanks mate ;) :D

Jon, all prices mentioned at the start, you geeza.

Ricky, no excuses with me mate :D Nah, if you can hobble your way to Brands on the day, I'll happily give you some pax laps in the Jap taxi.

I want to do the Spa/Ring trip dude, without question.

I'm not suggesting for one minute that the trip will be the first big outing if you will after the conversion...I'm not that stupid :D

In between now and April, I have a wedding to pay for, a substantial 'comittment' as you can imagine...I'd rather fill the car up, drive down and catch up with everyone...saves me a few quid and keeps the wife-to-be sweet about me ****ing off with you lot to Germany & Belgium for a few days :smokin: :agree:

Your priorities are all wrong mate... :dearme: :crap: ;) :laugh:

Evidently :laugh:

:laugh: :agree:

Shes not like...in fact, she would be telling me to go...it's just the wrong side of April though :crap: :wasntme:

Really cant wait to get the Cup car sorted for Brands, need to bleed the brakes and sort the cooling out as i havent touched it since ND, might need to invest in some "road legal" tyres for the 15" wheels.

Also may attempt to paint the rear quarter... or the whore car.:)

driving......................................well warming the tires........................................in the rain.............................................. :burnrubber:

Braved the snow/cold and fitted the engine today.

Couple bits to sort, mainly the 108db I had last time there when noise tested :(

RR next to check all ok, :)

Sounds good Dave, what exhaust have you got on the cup ???

Anyone seen the forecast for this yet? Do we think the snow will have cleared, I dont fancy dancing on ice part 2, but a shakedown for the new, new brakes sounds a good idea...

Can you PM the code please!:)

I'll PM you the code Alastair :cool:

It's still off the range of any forecasts that don't involve a crystal ball but the predictions for a couple weeks from now are showing much warmer so I'm hoping to have no ice or snow...........

We are down to the last dozen spaces for this one now so if you want to come along please book it sooner rather than later!

Steve H

Its typical... anopther brands day and prob snow... it snowed last time i went on t cups first outing and that brought then end to proceedings. lets hope for better luck this time.

Running the straight through sidey with a big downpipe, and have been told it sounds like a tractor around the paddock on many occasions :D

Sounds good on track though:)

Ha, I remember that day...'improvised noise reduction' and chasing down Tiff Needell in the Ferrari......until Tiff was black flagged for being a bit too ragged....and you had a passenger!!:laugh: Good old 'Yello peril'! Bless her.

the ktec sideys were failing at cadwell. best bet is stick a rear exit on.

its not ideal running a rear exit on a cup, and most tracks will ignore the sidey even if it does fail and they will move the sensor so it does pass. but one day if you get a strict marshall it could ruin your day. thats why i went rear exit.

Fair do`s mark, i just want to know if there is an easy way, if not the gay spec is going on this weekend...:)

i have heard a coke can cut in half and shoved over the tip with a jubilee works, but never tried it myself. also heard on wire wool shoved in but again i have not tried myself.

T-Cup had no problems at Brands.

If you want to play it safe, buy a dB insert or two from Tweeks. I've got a couple in my garage somewhere if you want me to bring them along.

Matt, probably going to have to put a silencer/ box in, had too many warnings now.

The db was ok when I bought the car in standard cup form, its only since we upped the power its got noisier. Defo worth bringing bag tricks to quieten it down if it dont make the limit.
Depends on the guy with the noise meter, some are ok, some are not.:(

Last time out, we modded with wire wool, guaze and jubilee clip to pass the static noise test. Melted it on the first full on session, so was back to a full on sidey and no probs on track.:cool:

Brand have never openly tested for noise on cars i think they pull you in if the car is like a fog horn...................i've used the original 2 inch side exit loads of times at brand etc, without any problems the only side exit that has caused any issue on track days is the Ktec ... TK had a rare one....was it a sidewinder or something.???again 2.5 inch, one piece, mega noise.....:burnrubber:


http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...ode=JETU935130

these work wonders on the ktec etc.........had one my self on the k tec no noticable loss of power and alwas below the limits i think i scored 97- 99 with them....

cheers guys ,were doing some prep work at my friends garage this weekend so i may measure on his system and go from there, i think demon tweeks do silencers etc ill check their website, i want to do all the circuits in my guide over the next few years so ill have to get it right soon, steve h says its 106db at brands so ive something to aim for, what with environmental pressure nowadays is only going to get worse with regards to how much more strict they get i guess, cheers for all the input guys and thanks for the offer bill...:).

106dB is quiet lenient nowadays, i'd imagine a lot of tracks are on the 100dB limit

Combe is really low at 95db :disagree:

Cheers eug, arent the k-tec sideys oval....:scratch:, maybe i having a moment, looks a bloody good idea though..ric , im sure yor right ,coobe is very close to that from memory.

Matt, only the tailpipe is slightly oval, the rest of the system is round :)

When Kris nabbed my exhaust at Combe, I asked the marshalls and they were saying 100dbs...:coffee:

Combe used to be 100B, and really made a big thing of sticking to it, even half a decibel over and they'd send you back to the pits. I think they're getting pressure off the locals, like most tracks

sorry, misunderstood you :D

seriously there wont be problem with noise................


i cant wait.... ...................

They have been since last year.... I've been pulled on it on two trackdays there now... they've been noise testing in the pitlane at the assembly area before letting you out..., the devil side exit is usually around 104-106db with the standard turbo.. you can get it down to 103 with a db insert, if you aren't running a standard T2 with a side exit would personally have something on standby just in case... :crap:

It's 105db max at 3/4 revs static. as far as I know they have no testing once you are on track but these things are getting stricter every year :mad:

For anyone wanting to stop locally the night before we've got a deal with the hotel that's right next door. £60 for single B&B or £70 for two of you.

This is at the THISTLE BRANDS HATCH, we have got some rooms on hold for the Thursday night so to book one please phone Stephanie Keep on 01474 855 700 quoting TAOL040210. After 21st Jan they will no longer be reserved so it's just down to if they have any rooms left - to check phone the same number and quote "Track Rate of £60 BB" to get the reduced price. At the moment there is a block of rooms reserved for another function on the Friday night so they currently have no availability but if they are not confirmed by the 22nd Jan they will become available as well for anyone who wants to stop the night after the event.

Jeez, ive dug out the noise tester, even the battery works too! While at the back of the garage a mountney steering wheel boss for a Gordini emerged from the piles of stuff along with some sticky things that would look great on a coupe cage...

going to be cold by the looks of it.

Cold is fine, rain is something else, along with snow & ice lol. :sad2:

Brands doesnt have the best facilities for covered seating from what i remember the last time i was there, but you can see pretty much the entire indy circuit which is pretty good for action snaps with a big lense! =]

Hope a few of you can join us!

Steve H

what time are u guys on track till? id love to pop down at about 3 to have a watch.

You should be fine at that, it should run to 5pm but it depends on the light so probably between 4 and 5 somewhere!

Steve, do you know if we'll have access in and out of the paddock area all day. Basically, is the tunnel going to be open? :D. I've been there before when it's been shut for some reason.....

I'm not on track, so I'd rather not fight the rush hour traffic to get there, but I want to park in the paddock in my support vehicle, with loads of spares :wasntme:

I assume it will open be as the alternative is to stop play whenever someone needs to get in or out but I've asked them to confirm.

Thanking you very muchly :agree:

Yea, the alternative isn't the best idea. I've been there when the only access to/from the paddock was allowed at lunch, or if there was a red flag, like at Mallory. Not ideal really :(

They have just confirmed that it will be open all day.

Nice! I haven't seen Matt and Mike for ages......probably Lydden in 2006/7......

I wouldnt bother bringing slick's... but maybe some road legal tyres or wet's for those who are lucky enough to have a set...

Oh & umbrella's. ;)

Ive got a couple with the seats for Jeezbus too, and a few (but not all) of the bolts, im sure between us we can muster a full set!:agree:

He will most likely need the captive nuts held in the square washer that goes in the x-member at the front of the seat mounting points too if you have any Matt ? :)

you can use two "feet" for the front attachment points aswell, ive found :)

I do...but...when you lever the tags over they tend to snap....I'll see what I can do.

Edit...oops meant to reply to Alastair....

You already have some seat plastic brackets and torq bolts Jesus. There in a plastic bag that i gave you at Mallory for that passenger seat i brought down for you to put in the cup car!!! ;) Unless that robbing pikey "M" has stolen them!

Just got in from the rolling road and not good chaps:(

Going to have to give it a miss, as the new engine we put in dont want to play.

Gutted to be missing this, will pop down to see everyone:)

Sorry to hear this dave, so tempted to nick your spot and give me cup car a good run out..

Too late, Matt5 has taken the space!

If any of the drivers have got Matts email address please forward over the drivers info email as I will be leaving for Brands soon and won't be able to do it unless I hear from him in the next couple of hours.

Cheers

See you boys tomorrow, I'll be in the "spirit of Ol' Trusty" AKA the Golf Gti be good to see you chaps again! Its been along time!

Disaster averted... for now! Just went to put the 5 on the trailer and there was a horrid knocking sound coming through the steering column... rear engine mount had either not been tight enough or popped the thread, and the exhaust was hitting the steering rack, i thought it was game over for tomorrow but ive got a work around that should last till lunch tomorrow...:eek:

See you all there, Eugine if your in the garage first you've got to get the kettle on fella :laugh: Time to get a Scoff rear mount...!

So far all the cups are still running, still early....;)
a mini cooper s expired on the start/finish straight, infact it hit the gantry.... Oops!

:agree: :cool:

Gutted i couldn't make it, i will get to drive on Brands this year at some point

I planned to go...I'd been looking forward to it for ages aswell...damn my itchy-tinkering-fingers :D

im hoping to get out of here at 2ish to pop down and spectate but its looking bleak tbh

any 1 geting any piks ?

I hear Nicks span out!! hope his cars ok.

im gunna be there at 2ish... i got me camera ready. haha..

im still at the testing station. grrr guted i couldnt make it down

Just got home... Great Day out!!

Overall Marshall's were spot on, calming people down, quiet words here and there & being helpfull about cars...

Jesus's Cup - Ran very well, although ran out of fuel, Got on slicks for the first time and jesus loved the,

Krisy M's Cup - Ran well, exhuast had to be replaced after coming off, slight overfueling/dirty fuel issue's & to top it off slight oil leak but good day.

Eugiens Cup - Ran well all day, slight fuel leak/fuel seen coming from the car ended play early, also got called in when a Marshall "heard" a bolt coming of the car... turned out to be alternator bolt.

Alistar's Car- Ran very well all day, a very quick a car and well paced around track!

Matt5's Clio mk1 2.0 on bike carbs - Ran well, could have done with fresh brake pads, some good speed and time's on track, the bike carbs are a very good conversion and very tempting.

Mr Beans Clio 1*2 - Ran well on track, was in 3rd gear most of the time!

Nick's Clio Williams - Ran well, the only car i didnt get a passenger lap bar Eugien's. He had a minor spin and got blacked flagged because it happened under a yellow flag but nothing serious.

Just got in. Blowing the froth off a beer at the moment. Was fun today. Nice to meet the RTOC people.
Big thanks to Dave Clark. Need to get you and Oli out there fella!!

....over 100 laps in the Clio today....

gutted i couldnt be there today..... fingers crossed for next time...

Nice to catch up with some familiar faces today chaps =] [+ meeting some new ones].

Track cleared and kris & jesus seemed to be loving the slicks out on track. Would be interesting to see what tyre pressures would be ideal for those formula renault tyres mind. [technical perv anyone? :wasntme:]

Should have taken the Saxo down but meh, i really want my turbo ax done now its been long enough as it is. The trackday/meet has given me motivation again to crack on :eek: :devil:


Alistairs car looked quick out on track!

Feel sorry for the guy with the black mini cooper, was his first time out on track - with 380bhp through the front wheels ?! :dearme:


Took 300+ pictures , some will turn out crap no doubt but im sure i got some good ones of you guys out on track =]


When brigsy pops round with the camera i'll get them lashed up. Keep your eyes peeled chaps.


Nice to meet you all again =]

Roll on national day! :smokin:

Right , where do i start?, had an absolute epic time, RTOC were there in big numbers..:), it was flippin ace to meet some of the old crew and so many new friends, what a great effort made by all...The cup went extremely well only to cough and splutter around the last bend into the paddock gagging for fuel....:laugh:, bloody internal tank with no gauge...:wasntme:, got to say a big thanks to all whomb helped me over the course and build up to get there in time, firstly krissey for allways helping and travelling to mine when needed , secondly to Al` for giving us a hand whenever needed , thirdly to briggs {the carb queen..."jessop"} for passengering on the day and help setting the fuel with the lm1 and gauging just what boost the cars running {16psi} and lastly penfold for bringing the slicks down for me and generally helping on the day. The track was awsome and very interesting in places i must say , hats off to all whomb attended and those who couldnt make it..:cry:, also a sneeky thanks to matt5, cheers for the ride...:eek:..;), also ta for the feet , something to do on sunday...:laugh:{thanks to al bringing the seats!}.
Anyone get any pics , iwas so busy trying to get laps in and fuel etc i never took one snap...:laugh:, Bloody brilliant chap, the only downside was i had to reverse the trailer with the car on it down a massive farm track at 11pm in the pitch black.
Was bloody ace to see all you lovely people , had a flippin ace time.....:D

Well, what can i say...Any absoloutly brilliant day for me ! :)

The old cup went really well for the first time since ive owned it. Finally managed to solve the missfire porblems ive been having. Still afew small issues to sort but nothing too major. Was brilliant hammering round paddock hill bend at full chat with the slicks on ! :devil:, Il definatly be going back to brands. It was very well organised with good marshalling and good track standards most of the time

Nice to see that other peoples cars from RTOC went well with no issues aswell, i have to say thanks to Alistair for afew passenger laps...what a car mate !, youve built a cracker there, never thought a renault 5 could go round corners like that :cool:

Im glad that Jesus`s cup also had its problems ironed out and had another pretty succsesful day

Also , big thanks to Brigsy ( + others ) who helped me sort out afew problems, and was also really nice to meet some new RTOC faces and also the regulars

Heres afew pictures i took of the three "coupes" together at the end of the day :)

Roll on the next RTOC trackday i say :agree:

How much are 'Cup' cars going for nowadays?

I've got the space to keep one on a trailer, might look into it :)

Its finding one for sale, I paid £1200 last year for mine, & that included 2 or 3 sets of cup rims,perspex window's & some other odd's and sod's.

All i have done is get the rad fan working, change oil & filter+ leads & plugs. Put some slicks on, put the bucket seats in and fitted the perspex.

I think Jesus paid around £2-2500 for his cup, unsure how much Krisy M's cup car was.

The problem is once you get a cup car you tend to hold onto them, I would much rather buy a cheap 5 and strip it out and make a dedicated track car out of it... the only main difference is cup cars tend to suffer less rust, where as road car's tend to be suffer less accident damage on the road's...

Well, I did think about building a track slag, like Marky Mark Campus and Big Dans Scraps...I've got enough parts to do that :D

I would like a Cup car, you seem to get a lot for the money if you can sniff out a good car :)

I paid £1500 for mine :)

You can buy all the cup car bits easily & as you have said you have alot of bits to build a track car... only main difference on cup cars are
Roll Cage (be it Devil or SafetyDevice)
Devil Strut Brace(you have one already)
Decarbon Suspension (you can buy decarbon from Sam Fish) + Alot of cup cars run different suspension now..
Cup Rims (rare but available from Sam Fish)
Campus Filler pipe
Thicker Rear Torsion Bar's (although some cup car's dont have them)
Baffled sump (available from Sam Fish, CGB etc)
Brake Ducts (Easy to replicate & do work well)
I am sure there are a few otehr difference's but there the main things..

:agree: not a bad price at all.

Money wise I'm not so concerned at the moment.

Chris, I'd get all, if not most of that jazz with a Cup car :cooter:

I'll look into it :)

Class day out, cheers for the passenger laps all:D Good rtoc turnout.

Good to see all the cup cars running with no major headaches:cool:

Calling Duncan Grier, Calling Duncan Grier!!! :laugh::laugh:

He's the one for tyre pressures!! :D

We had a great day out at Brands, a wet start with one unfortunate casualty (car, not driver!) but only three red flags all day, very little queueing and great behaviour on track from all the drivers. We had everything from Porsches to Peugeots and Skylines to Minis out there and all going very well indeed!

T-Cup was £380 :D

It was a good day out, well done to everyone who made it. It was nice to get around some working Renault 5's again, and it made me realise the thing I miss most about mine - The smell! I'd never really noticed it before, but the smell of a hot Renault 5 after a good hard blast is, well, lovely! :D

I said on the day when Matt was fitting his, the cup manual advises 26psi all round. As Big Steve says though, Grier's the man to ask :laugh:

To my suprise, i was going to brands to support a few minis we have worked on, Then i started seeing cup cars all over.

Great to see you guys giving it large. I was in a couple of the mini's following and over taking :cooter: you. he he

Was also good to catch up and meet some of you.

It was a quality spin too!! I was'nt in a yellow flag zone when i lost it but ploughed the grass nicely and ended up in the yellow zone when it finally stopped ;). Got red flaged!! :D All in all a great day out, Did £70 in fuel and the Megane F7R transplant in the Clio stayed in one piece. Met all the usual suspects :agree: Alastairs 5 is something else on track :) Awesome. M's Cup went well until the cabinet started filling up with exhaust gases and smoke!! Just opened a window and did'nt stop but had a eye on the fire extingisher just incase :cool: Bring on the next track day :wasntme:

:) Wow, what a great day! So good to see such a good RTOC turn out of not only cars but spectators too. Lots of old faces around and great to meet new people too!

There are a few good sotories to be had, especially Jessop naming Brigsy the 'Carb Queen' LOL :laugh: , and he's also taken some stonking photos! Thanks mate!:) Love the KrissyM close up ;).

As for the Cup cars, they all performed well with only the odd hickup here and there, and really good to see everyone diving in to help out where they could! They really do fly with slicks on! The Clios and Citreon were great and were constantly out on track:agree:. Lots of other tasty machinery out on track and manners were really good standfast a couple of the Skyline crowd who didnt like being overtaken by little R5s, especially with their girlfriends in the car :laugh::laugh::laugh: - did you know they dont come fitted with mirrors?:wasntme:

Shame about the mini that stacked it first thing though, glad he was OK though.

Huge Jeans thanks for the space in the Garage, good to meet you and your Bro :agree:

As for me, i killed 4 R888, £70+ on fuel, and had a close shave with the gravel at the bottom of Paddock Hill Bend (with the instructor in the car - egging me on LOL). Had a fantastic time and the car didnt let me down although the brakes need more of a bleed!

I had a passenger pretty much all the time too which was great, nice to get some feedback and advice from people after, was funny to see some people hanging onto the roll cage and pressing the imaginary brake pedal only to get the navigators horn footswitch instead :laugh:.

Jesus, Kris and I created a stir on the M25 / M4 with the convoy, lots of thumbs up was nice to see. I made it back to Plymouth at about half past midnight totally knackered! All in all a great day, great people and great weather too. Let's do it again soon! :yeah:

does any one have the link to the days photographer?? please...........

hi Eug, the company was www.xtremesportsphotography.net but their website is down, you`l need to email them direct at info@xtremesportsphotgraphy.net
