What an epic weekend (Ring/Spa)

[mole]

Got home midnight last night after a detour via Brussels for some chocolate and beer solutions (and dinner) with TMAQ.

Such an amazing weekend - the weather (although wasn't ideal) didn't affect how much fun was had :thumbs:

Glad I managed to get a (half) place at Spa - although for the wrong reasons :bigcry::bigcry:

My co-driver took loads of pics of a lot of you that he'll get uploaded in the next few days.

Great to meet even more faces over the weekend, and here's to the next one :beer:

Here here :thumbs: an epic weekend has been had, brim full of SOLUTIONS :beer:
I got home @ 11 pm after CSL/Z4M Convoy Solutions with Flatout & Shimmy, with some Tunnel Solutions :whistle: thrown in for good measure.

Great we could share the place @ Spa, me being the other half ticket holder :thumbs: Sorry for the small diversion we had on my fifth lap ever @ Spa, which was instantly rectified by semi slick Tyre Solutions for the short but ever so sweet dry spell we had mid afternoon.

Cant wait for Picture Solutions from Andrew :smt041:smt041:smt041

Some talentless mong lost control of his evo at la source and t boned someone as they were leaving the pits minding their own business.

Some talentless mong lost control of his evo at la source and t boned someone as they were leaving the pits minding their own business.

Yeah... that was TOTALLY MINDLESS ... the poor, totally innocent German guy got his E46 M3 badly damaged after 30 minute wait in the pits and less then 10 seconds on the track he got whipped out by the UK Evo Numpty who was trying, badly I may add, to show boat. A friend of mine has the whole accident on Video, from start to finish, which very clearly shows how & why.

AlexGTT was VERY lucky as he was the car in front of the German M3 as they pulled out of the pits.

[_Nathan_]

Said German M3 is a mate of mine, not a good day for him.

Poor guy :smt085 I saw the damage up close :119: seems quite extensive. I really feel for him as he was totally innocent, trying to have a good time.
Did we meet yesterday ? :smt017

[_Nathan_]

Nah, I couldn't make it, would've loved to have been there.

[Yanto]

1000% agree with Rich - epic weekend guys...

Good company, driving, banter, steaks and booze...good to put faces to names/usernames.

Big thanks to Terryb, Shimmy and Rich for the pax laps blagged / advice on line etc :thumbs::thumbs:....it was extremely useful and helped me out massively (don't think I missed anyone !) and all others for advice in the garage at Spa :thumbs: ....very helpful for the new boy...

Apologies again to David...but lets not go there again :hahaha::hahaha:

btw - if anyone did catch a picture of me on track can you pls PM it to me prior to posting so I can photoshop it to show at least a slight blur in the background :whistle:

I have some pics that I'll post up but they're not all that....Bealo, have got a few seconds of shakey vid footage (compact camera) of you in Darth Vader, on it down the pit straight and around La Source. Let me know if you want it (zorst sounds good ;))

and finally Bounce, when in Rome.....

Bounce at Breakfast on day 1 : So, do you do a Full English ?

Sabines sister ?? (in deadpan voice): Full English ? NEIN, you are in Germany now !!!! :hahaha::hahaha: :hahaha::hahaha:

Got the bug...got 4 more CCI insured track days to use this year, so will start picking off the UK tracks...

Cheers boys :beer::beer: :beer:

No probs Matt - it wasn't that bad and could have been worse :whistle:

Remember - Goodyear are 3 and NOT 4 lap solutions in the dry :hahaha:

[anissut]

Great to meet all of you guys. As said, what a bloody epic weekend!!!! Saturday night was seriously messy. Too much beer, wine, dodgy nightclub but a right laugh. Once my headache had cleared on Saturday morning the general vibe around the Ring was fantastic. Petrolhead nirvana and everyone so friendly. I was crap around the Ring and didn't really enjoy it as I was just too wary after all the stories and incidents. Managed to get a couple of passenger laps in a 996GT3RS and a CSL with a couple of guys from Pure GT who were pretty quick which was awesome.

The convoy to SPA was rather interesting to say the least, especially having to lead the pack and not getting my Tom Tom right. Had Terry in his 996 GT3 Manthey and Woppum in his 997 GT3RS all over my backside. SPA was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Didn't feel confident while the track was wet so first couple of times out I was a bit of a pussy but the last 2 sessions out were much better and when the track was dry I was starting to get to grips with it. What a fantastic place though, the scenery, the aura of the track. I can now always say I have driven the SPA circuit. I then went out with Terryb for a few laps. That GT3 really does motor. We had a brilliant dice with a std black 996 GT3 in front of us. Terry was clearly faster but this guy was on it and was not going to let him past. So, we dived down the inside of him after start finish but ended up overshooting and he was back in front again. Was a right giggle.

Left the track at 4.15pm just as the rain started again and hit the Eurotunnel at 7.30pm but earliest train was 21.06. Ended up seeing a few of you guys turn up at around 8.30, Yanto and a few others. Got home at 10.30pm and am pretty shattered at work today.

Excellent weekend guys, a real unforgettable experience.

Said German M3 is a mate of mine, not a good day for him.
And he is American not German so his thoughts on the matter were quite clear to both T$ and I , who went over for a chat with him, unaware that he was a mate of yours Nath, ...felt for him,:bigcry: I would have resorted to my old Banger Racing solutions I fear if it had of been me, and T-boned his (EVO twat) ... (empty) car in the pits ! It wouldnt have been right...or even proper, by by fook I would have felt better !:thumbs:... what a fookin James Hunt !

Should've seen the twat at the Eurotunnel. Biq queue to get through passport control and he jumps the queue leaving the car park with no regard for anyone else. Someone should've jumped out and smashed the other side of his front end. Total cock. :banghead:

Spa was simply awesome and great to stretch the legs of the porker, had a few good little dices with the shimster:thumbs:.

Convoy solutions was fun on way to Calais with Duncan, :smokin::smokin::smokin:

Im fooked now, got in the house at 1.45am, long long day, but well worth it.

+1 there mate ! ... he certainly wouldnt have been able to jump the Passport queue at the Tunnel if he had of hit me and acted the same way !
I have just been glancing at the MLR forum, very quiet, and some of them were even saying how great the organisation was at Spa ! ... the only greats at Spa were the track when dry,the CSL's and their pilots , the Porky owning mates we have amongst us, oh and not forgetting those tricked up Fords !! ... oh yeah ...and my driving !!:supz:

Im easily pleased and not given to moaning and banging on about something, but THAT fooker was way over subscribed.

I'm lead to believe that the guy did eventually wonder over and then start trying to blame being offline because of another car or something equally spastic.

Be interested to see the video Matt - get it up so I post it on MLR and see if it matches his explanation of events :whistle:

As soon as I get it I'll let U know. It was a friend of AlexK who filmed the whole accident and he said he'll be happy to share it. It was also offered to the M3 owner on the day.
We watch it straight after the accident and as far we could make out the EVO Num Nuts came in too hot into the first bend after pit straight, off line & on the wet side of the track, then tryed to show boat, drift, whatever (you could hear his turbo boosing on & off mid corner :clown: ) then the whole car stepped out of control (so much for AWD ) what a :clown: and ... well, U know the rest :banghead:
The worst bit off all though was he had NO balls or brains what so ever to come over to the M3 driver and apologise :clown:

I wonder what S**T he's posting to excuse himself. Why don't you link it onto here :whistle: we could all do with a good laugh :hahaha: at his expense.

After reading the EVO post link it seems they (him & his brother) are busy licking their own wounds. I think the imminent video will explain everything. :whistle:

Why, because it's worth less

You are only driving a fook old Evo not F1 car

My heart goes out to the chap in the M3.

Read a few posts on the MLR regarding being prepared to get your car damaged if you take it to track days but funny enough I don't have the same train of thought. That's the kind of chaps you would like to stay well clear off on any TD's!

[BOJ]

The number of cars on the track was really good. Though far too many paying cars and the 15min queues were really annoying.

I have to say that compared to other track days at Spa, they were fewer accidents. The fact that 95% of the cars were slow could explain explain it.

The accident was silly and it happened mainly to inexperience, both on car control and prudence. But these things happen.

[windy]

Hmm... is opposite-lock a foreign language in Evo-land? :gayfight:

[TMAQ]

top weekend, shame it rained so much. was good to put faces to names, all a great bunch of blokes:beer:.

we should all do the same again sometime SOON!, i have 5 ring laps left on my card not that i need an excuse.

Just been watching my vids, I sneaked down the inside of you under braking on the start finish straight, sorry if I startled you:whistle: It was a tad naughty of me. Oops.
I was in the silver porky turbo, AKA one armed bandit.


I have just watched the video of the crash and to be fair it does just look like a bit of bad luck and inexperience, them curbs were seriously slippy. :bigcry:

Had a few moments on the same corner myself, but kept it straight:smokin:

Did you whip him Dunc?!:hahaha:!

[shane@mbtech]

Did you have any moments on your cool down lap :supz:

No because my revs did not go above 3k on my cooldown lap;),

Think some people need educating that a car wont cool down if you still rag it out of corners:whistle:

[shane@mbtech]

CHEEKY FOOKER...Oh boLLox CAPS.....

2 Things......

1. Congrats on your new family addition matey..thats mega news for you to return to !
2. I thought you'd be bigger :hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

I thought Duncan was hung like a horse myself;):hahaha:

[Yanto]

Guys - In my view, I think we've done the "incident post mortem" to death now...my view is that was no cool down lap..thats bollox...

But lets get back on topic per thread title...

More positive comments about the weekend please....

(btw....WTF happened to my pax lap MAttCSLNut :hahaha::hahaha:)

[windy]

Yeah, doesn't look like they were showboating or (I'd hope) they'd have been prepared to thow some oppo on. The poor sod appeared to just keep the lock on :bigcry:

Not that I've ever overcooked it... :clown:

[Kev.H]

jeez that evo guy is such a female genitle :banghead:

[karbonkid]

Looked a rather entertaining weekend for the CSL possy crew! Some awesome snaps on here & looks as if I missed a gooden. :thumbs:

[anissut]

Got a fair few pics that I'll post later. Not all car related as well. Didn't get any of the topless bird in the nightclub though.

[azrael]

Great weekend, much merriment and a top crowd, plenty of solutions and even man training! (On track I might add)

I think there was a brief spot of driving, but just a distant memory. Weather was shite and oilspills galore (BP Sponsored?) so that put a downer on things. MLR Day was sold to too many people, I'd rather have paid more for less cars, although I would have expected less cars for the same money. The Noise testing/queueing was a massive pain in the arse. Still Spa in the dry was mega!

Great to meet so many more peeps. Up for another venture out, Dazza mentioned beginning of August. Ringing & Beerings!

As for the Evo, I think the general consensus is the guy had been showboating, and had spun several times (Not seen by my own eyes tho) Does sound to me like he took the corner wide and accelerated whislt on the rumblestrip (not showboating, would have powered earlier) Have had my car spit me out whilst going in a straight line before (Traction off... ahem) fortunately ended up pointing the right way and carried on. Gutted for the M3 driver, all that queueing for 10 seconds on track with car not driveable. Anyone know if he got it going.

Much Luv

[Yanto]

I forgot to take you out too, sorry:birdman:

:hahaha: no worries Lawsy....

I saw your acceleration out of La Source....may have soiled your full leather interior anyway :hahaha::hahaha:

[shane@mbtech]

:hahaha: no worries Lawsy....

I saw your acceleration out of La Source....may have soiled your full leather interior anyway :hahaha::hahaha:

Ha:hahaha: She was certainly pulling well,

(excuse my ignorance, first time at spa, but Which fucking corner is La source? ;))

[mattCSLnut]

The hairpin at the end of the pit straight doode

[bromers]

Is it normal to be letting cars out of the pits when other cars are passing ?

[glendog74]

Great weekend indeed - shame about the rain though!

Good to meet many new faces and it was awesome to see the Tiergarten restaurant so full with the CSL Register crew annexing the bar area! :thumbs:

Spa was a disappointment - and not only due to the rain... :banghead:

Can't wait until the next Ring/Spa 'solution' extravaganza though! :smokin:

[DazBlackCSL]

Superb Weekend all round, bar the track closure on Sat , two warm up laps all weekend, which were just before the big multi car one that closed it :banghead:

Came in too sort the tyre pressures and that was it ... Bar solutions :hahaha:

In fact did spend a fair bit of time the bar this weekend :whistle:... and missed the morning at Spa due to having new springs and set up solutions done nr the ring Monday morning.

Spa is awesome will have to that place again, not with those fucking twat's drifting there jap shit tho.. :wanker:

Thanks to terryb for taking me out in the matt black porky when I arrived in the PM to show me the track, managed to get 6 laps in, on ze cups in between the rain.. then a hotel spa solution again with the 3rd late night on beer and sambucca :partyman:

Great to put some more names to faces on here and meet some really top people throughout the weekend :thumbs:


Word of warning to all though ...

French and Belgium police have started working together, if you get zapped speeding in either country by hidden mobiles or seen speeding over 100, they now have a full operation at calais, list of offending plates, your passport and cars will be impounded with hefty fines to get cars back or possible ban solutions , 6 lads in VX220'S behind me, rob and bealo were done and it wasn't looking good, some very glum faces, so be careful out there ;)

just got in, knackered after another night boozing on the ferry home with my new mates (and old ones) :thumbs:

Great to meet such a great bunch of people throughout the weekend :beer::beer:
I had a lot of laughs:thumbs:just need to get some sleep now :bigcry:

I will need someone to remind me what App I need to download for my trip to the Albert Hall in 7 days time...

big thanks to
Northern Jim, Paul (in the Black Evo)
Daz, Rob, Bealo, Carly, Moley, MattCSL, Bloody Hell i can go on forever here:whistle: and everyone else :thumbs: for things you said and did :)

one last thing
Lawsy, Mick you are 2 MAD scousers

[Pip1968]

Slightly off topic and I know that there was a long post about this on the old MTorque site but how many attendees wore helmets and if so which are recommended. I am not keen on wearing a helmet despite the 'obvious' but may have to indulge in some track days in the UK where I believe it is obligatory.

I was looking at the Bell helmets. Any help appreciated.

I just wear an AGV motorcycle helmet, but car motorsport spoecific ones may be cooler/lighter to wear. The ring is probably the only place you don't have to wear one but I would strongly recommend you do.

[northernjim]

Just got back home myself, may need a slight de tox this week:whistle:

Cheers for making a shonky ford owner feel welcome over the weekend:beer: twas great to put names to faces, and although there were some ups and downs over the weekend:whistle:, it will go down as a classic trip away:supz::supz:



Had a chat with the yank guy, I would not have handled myself like he did:banghead:

The guy in the Evo did not even speak to him, not one sorry. TWAT!

can't believe the evo guy didn't say anything, shows his true colours tho - w4anker

+1 there mate ! ... he certainly wouldnt have been able to jump the Passport queue at the Tunnel if he had of hit me and acted the same way !
I have just been glancing at the MLR forum, very quiet, and some of them were even saying how great the organisation was at Spa ! ... the only greats at Spa were the track when dry,the CSL's and their pilots , the Porky owning mates we have amongst us, oh and not forgetting those tricked up Fords !! ... oh yeah ...and my driving !!:supz:

Im easily pleased and not given to moaning and banging on about something, but THAT fooker was way over subscribed.


cheers dunc, nice to meet you even tho it was just before you left:hahaha:

Yesterday so the tuesday, as we were at the tunnel, no idea on where, but apparently it doesnt matter where, it's if you get gunned or caught of any camera / van etc.. once your plate has been identified anywhere through FR of Belg your fooked if over 100 :banghead:

Kin hell mate, I was pretty lucky then, I was well over a ton through a lot of Belgium and France. I did think about it on a couple of occasions and thought I should calm down but couldn't have the 997 GT3RS thinking I was :gayfight:

We all got flashed on our convoy on saturday to the ring, everyone of us, it was when I was at the front of the pack so we were in WARP SPEED defcon 5, it got all of us, oops. :birdman:

[AlexGTT]

Well chaps, it's all over too soon again! Time flies and all that. Great weekend, despite my front left hand bumper being chopped off by a local scally a few miles from the Ring. :bigcry:Ah well, things happen. I actually blame Rob for dragging us all out for a tour of the local roads.;)

Many many thanks to Alexk and his friend for staying with me and getting it sorted. Only cosmetic damage and already been sorted by the insurance.:smokin:New bumper solutions!!

Thanks to Mattcsl for the SG duct tape. :thumbs:Worked a treat and I was back out for loads of Ring laps and Spa. Stayed perfectly in place all the way home. I actually quite like the look now.:hahaha:

Spa was great..................once out on track. There were way too many cars this year. The waiting to get on track was rediculous.

The Evo "T bone" of the M3, happened right behind me! TWAT is all I have to say!:banghead: If I was 10 seconds later out of the pits that was me. As mentioned earlier in the thread by my mate, he was in the 34 Skyline just behind! Great vid Alexk. Everyone on MLR needs to know the REAL story.:wanker:

After seeing that, coming across the multi car crash at Ring and my little road tap I was ready to just sit in the bar and call it a day! Glad I didn't though.

Great to see everyone and meet new faces. Rob, Daz hope you got home OK and at a reasonable time. Sorry I had to dash with my mates on Tuesday morning. Catch up soon fellas.

Oh, one last thing.......................Wops GT3 RS Gen2.................:drool::drool::drool: There's not much I wouldn't do to own one.:bigcry:

Maybe we all got lucky then Monday (Mr One armed bandit so no pissed off EVO driver can bubble you from this post ?) ...unless of course they have a nice picture of you doing about 90mph up the fookin hard shoulder to get by those two trucks !:hahaha:.

I will delete this post in 10 mins !;) to preserve the guilty !

I was lucky then as I stayed in Bruge after the Spa Trackday on Monday evening then fookin hammered the CSL to Calais the morning after, barely went below about 90 for 45 minutes! :bigcry: I was the other SG CSL at the Eurotunnel on Tuesday Daz when you turned up with Rob and Bealo, I waved but you wern't looking! :whistle: :bigcry:

I saw the row of the VX220's and you and Bealo in the cue and wondered what was going on, shortly after that the short arse ginger wanker at customs still pulled me over and wanted to see my passport again and proceeded to ask uterlly (sp) stupid questions for 10 minutes which means I missed my earlier crossing that I'd planned, cunt! :banghead: :bigcry: :bigcry:

[Thorney]

Bike helmets are designed to have one impact and then be good at resisting abrasion, car helmets are more designed for multiple hits so if you're buying a helmet that you are only going to use in a car I'd get a car one IMO.

So to continue the hijack ...any recommendations?

Pip

[_Nathan_]

Pip - go and try loads on, they are all shaped differently and you'll find one brand that feels better than the rest...

[Thorney]

So to continue the hijack ...any recommendations?

Pip

Yeah sorry, didn't mean to but thought it was worth mentioning. Any of the big brands are fine but all are shaped differently, most people I know have either an Arai head or a inn Arai head so try them on. We use MSAR in London, Malcolm is a great guy or have a made to measure from Stand21 but that ain't cheap.

[Yanto]

So to continue the hijack ...any recommendations?

Pip

I bought from GP Direct at Silverstone - a brand called Zamp, which (I believe) is a US firm that are rebranded Bell helmets. They had bought a load in from the US and were selling for £150 a pop....:beer: Wasnt advertised on their website, they just happened to have some in stock when I was there recently.

[Dan]

Mine is the Sparco WTT Touring helmet, love it, and obviously getting comfier everytime I wear it! :thumbs:
