yeah it converts the 306 to cable.

Thanks Damien was a great day. Very very different to a track day, qualifying was interesting and I’ll admit a bit “rabbit in headlights” as was a busy grid so didn’t really get settled in at all and finished up with P21 overall and 6 out of 7 in my class.

Race 1 got on a bit better, although hampered by a last min change of timetable swapping the GT’s with hot hatch as the GT’s were on slicks and rain had come in making it lethal for slicks etc. Only shame was most of the hot hatch grid were on semi slicks including me and with no time to change it was out on the R888R’s in the wet. Tyres were better than expected but defiantly not the right tool for the job but made up to P18 after initially dropping to P24 from a slow start, so progress was made and luckily pretty much the rest of the grid were also on a similar dry tyre so was a cautious race for most.

Onto Race 2 with the weather continuing to drizzle all afternoon was well and truly a wet track race but luckily this time the whole grid had swapped to more suitable tyres which was rainsports for me. Started at P18 again dropping a few places off the line as got bunched up and then overtaken on both left and right side. Started off steady and slowly began to gain confidence in the car and began to make up places. Had some good battles and ended up finishing P12 overall with a class F win and faster lap for class F also so well happy with that considering never raced and never driven in the wet.

Well done. Watched a bit on Facebook (not when you were out unfortunately) and it certainly looked very wet.

Bloody love it Mike ....I’m so pleased for you ...you deserve it after all the hard work you have done sorting that car out etc 10/10

Totally makes sense Mike and that gear-shifters going to need a fair bit of setting up I recon .....

Nothing wrong and bloody sensible running a Fan switch

Hopefully I’ll see you at Combe this time

Remember this is only Mikes 2nd official race Ever

11th out of a full grid of some crazy quick cars with very experienced drivers and lot of experienced drivers behind Mike ....and Mikes in a different class lower to most of them

I think it’s a fair comment that loads more to come from Mike and his car ....his car has so much more to give Mike and it is totally sorted because of Mikes excellent Spannering / fabrication skills

Just seat time / experience now and he’s going to be up there

Thanks Damien yes was pleased to get past Paul especially considering the car he’s now in is no slouch either. Plenty more to come though as although qualified better this time was still 2 sec of what I’ve done on a test day which I’m sure will come with more time in the seat and more confidence on the grid. Overall though fantastic day just bloody hot which I’ve already ordered a naca duct for the rear quarter window and a 12v in-line fan for some much needed driver comfort.

Staying away from scoop as not all series allow them so don’t want to jeopardise any future plans etc just incase, I had a look at tonys window scoop in the 106 With a blower and it’s really powerful and added benefit is decent when sat in paddock etc.

Plus got to tape up my bonnet vents as scrutineer decided they look to big - there not as I’ve measured them but will tape up from inside to save changing the bonnet and so it doesn’t look rubbish as will still look visually the same no point arguing especially when only thing the vents do is let hot air out lol

Reasonable days racing. Didn’t do great in qualifying leaving me 29th in both races out of 36 starters with a best of 1.21.87 better than last time out but with the bigger grid left me further back than hoped but really struggled to get a clear lap in.

Racing was better and got settled in to end up getting to p17 In race 1. With the way qualifying works it was back to p29 for race 2 and made up to 15th so again good progress and some very very close battles but definitely need to work on putting in a decent qualifying session next time as makes such a difference.

Had driveshaft boot failures on both races and luckily on the last lap in race 2 as spat all the grease over the left wheel/brakes, so something to look into but all in all another good days racing

Yep it’s run up the cage and aimed at my face lol . There’s a 3”fan in there which I can confirm is a lifesaver whilst sat in the line up

Just 3” tubing from eBay same as for brake ducting etc,

Do you get any driveshaft cv boot issues on yours in races?
