So on Monday I made my return to Snetterton. I was looking forward to trying out my semi slicks for a back to back
comparison and it was looking like a cracker of a day - dry weather and
only 30 cars in total!
Alas it was not meant to be because as soon as I had changed my wheels
over and got out of the pit lane I heard a metal sounding, "clip clip
clip clip" under the tiniest amount of load. Cue panick and driving like
a pensioner round the whole of the track to get back to the pits as I
pretty much knew what it was - my front rims were catching on the
calipers!
After checking the calipers were ok, I swapped only the front wheels
back over to my road tyres as I didn't fancy changing all four wheels
again..
The car of course washed out on corners if I pushed too hard as I had
more grip on the rear so I kept it in check but still had an enjoyable
time on track and off, catching up with old and meeting new friends.
A friend of mine joined me for the day as my wing man and he was a heavy
chap to say the least! I was out once without him so cut a short clip
of that below as I had my GoPro on the wrong settings so the brightness
was focused on the inside of the car and not the track!
Best watched full screen in 1080p because of the wrong brightness focus..
Nice blog! Enjoyed reading through your entries and giving me inspiration to progressively mod my DC5R. It’s stock at the moment except for the axle back J’s racing 60R exhaust.
