I was there at Spa and the ring with the black CSL with Spires down the side. Unfortunately the gearbox started playing up putting it on the trailer in the UK and after 30 mins running at Spa the SMG pump went and it's been sat in neutral ever since. Was a fun 30 mins though, car never went straight at any point, think I did the whole of Pouon with the steering wheel straight...

Still a good trip. Had a few cars running that we're developing, you might have seen the silver E46 M3 with dark wheels, that's running our new development of Nitron R3s and is proper quick considering engine is standard.

Also working on Phil Morrison's V10 M3 with a new set-up and adjusting his rear droop travel and whipping the rear ARB off to improve traction (he had a monster H&R on there).

Also Dale got to run his Bridge to Gantry 328i for the first time at the ring running our Nitron R1 spec. Bit of rear aero needed to fix some oversteer and reposition the front travel for more droop up otherwise fast out the box.

And did a number of set-ups for people over the four days ranging from a new GT3 to Keith Flint's Fiat 500. Every customer came back to say how much better their cars were.

Lastly, some videos.

Yes, I remember seeing the black Spires CSL at Spa and assumed it must have been a garage queen as it never seemed to move. Sorry to hear about the SMG pump. I only turned up for the 1st and so was very lucky with the weather.

The GP day at Nurburg was good weather too although a shortened GP track is a little tiresome or is it just me -? It was just a shame that the 3rd was a little poor on the weather front. At least it was relatively dry.
