Hi

Attended the spring action day on Saturday. Did 4 sessions but seemed to be the only mr2 there.

Anyone see me or get any video/pics while I was on track


Car is smg Rev 3 turbo

There were four of us on the Car Guys stand but only Barrie went out on the track, [Teal n/a].
Saw you going round, SMG with purple stickers or something.
There was a red turbo out as well but it blew a coolant hose at Bobbies and had to retire for the day.
There were a couple of other 2s parked up in the A section past Camp also.
Pretty good day I thought & the weather held off which was nice.

Hey

I must have missed barrie on track.

Saw the red one going on a trailer so assumed it was broken.

Was a good day, and the standard of driving was better than many action days of the past.

The 510bhp Skoda Yeti was worth the price of admission alone.

I went to have a chat with the red turbo owners, as it was wheeled off the track right by us & they said it's happened before & they would have fixed it if it was earlier in the day. Apparently it's on its second engine & gearbox having destroyed them both there before, but when it's running well they race it all day long with no issues.

Yeah the yeti was impressive, however watch his on boards and the driver seems like a bit of a tool!

My exhaust kept coming apart after 12 or so minutes of abuse as it was just regular bolts holding it together. Now upgraded to proper studs.
