Had a great day at Anglesey yesterday for my first proper track day.

It was good to put names to faces, Chris, Phil, Rich, Andy.
Hope to get a couple more in before the end of the year.

Here's a few lessons I've learnt for next time:

1. Slicks are a must, the toyo 888's are great, but everyone with slicks seemed to stick a lot better through the twisty bits. (either that or my driving is really bad)

2. Check your nuts regularly (wheel nuts that is), I thought the back felt a bit loose, I put it down to having my 16st dad sitting next to me, turned out my nearside rear wheel nuts had come loose.

3. Those Sprint R's are bloody quick, I want one.

And finally, don't let your wife guide you onto the trailer after not getting a scratch on the car all day, she guides me on only for me to rip a chunk out of my front arch

Took us 5 hours to get home, had a clear run, but it is 300 miles

I'll check the Clio cup slicks, I may be lucky, my Uncle supports one of the Clio cup teams.

6. Make sure you have 4 spare wheel bearings. You'd think they'd last more than 3000 miles being as though there off a sierra!

those slicks are well worth investing in for both grip and the cost that was me andrew was following on 048s i could pull away on straights but couldnt shake him in the bends and if you look hes taking a tighter line than me
