Building: Sold turboblade, back to tin tops
posted on 17/5/16 at 11:07 PM
When I got my little car log booked this year the Scrutineer said why do you not try time attack? I replied at £2000 a year I could not afford it,
however he said you can do 4 rounds for much less than that. It's a one tyre make, perreli I think who rock up and flog you rubber at a really
cheap rate then it's a couple of hundred for up to 2 hours lap time, bit like a sessioned day but against the clock, worth a thought.

We have gone off topic but as im the OP, I dont mind too much!
I was taking to one of my mates who I regularly so track days with last night about sprinting. We may give it a go. It depends on time and money, as
always. I have my second child due early September, so not long left.
Back to the OP. The reason I ale is because I an considering changing my car for a track focused tin top.
Still torn.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
I've only done a sessioned track day on Oulton in my kit,but it really impressed me.
The feel on track and the speed you can carry through corners was so much better than any of my tin tops I've ever taken on track.
Only two cars I couldn't keep up with were a Gt3 911 and a new Audi TT RS.

Well it's a seven V tin tops, but I suspect there's a lot of plasic too.
Awesome race!
The overtake on the Porsche to take the lead was a good one!
The reason I mentioned the K20 Honda, was reliability. That CRX above has a totally standard engine, with bigger cams dropped in, a bigger throttle
body and 3" exhaust.. nigh on 260 bhp.

320bhp is also a stock engine with only a 3 bar map and bigger injectors. These engines are very strong, contrary to common belief. Its an issue that
many have been accused for 20 years before head gaskets go.
