:thumleft: Yes ita Club MSV evening! They do seem to be about the best for organising! We are running a black Mk2 Rev1 with an Autopista wing and some alloy foglight air scoops! Hoping to get there about 15.00 and getting on track at 17.30! Be good to see you if you manage to get down there! We shall most likely be parked with a black Ford focus ST! :thumleft:

:thumleft: Apart from a bit of a problem with a rear wheel just touching a droplink on full suspension extension that took me far too long to find it went really well! The new wider wheels completely sorted the rear grip issues we had been having. The brake vents worked well although the cheap discs and pads were still getting a bit blue lol! By the end of the evening we were going round at a fairly respectable pace. There were some immensely fast cars there including the beautiful 6R4 below and a Radical on slicks that was mental fast! The new R1-Rs worked brilliantly but the front T1-Rs were starting to push and melt! The MR is brilliant on track and has so much rear end grip now you can just nail it from the apex in just about every corner. The only times i got out of shape was after drifting wide onto the painted sections a couple of times because the front was letting go at Paddock and Druids! Heres a few pics. :thumleft:
Oh sorry i cant post pics apparently?
Heres a link to the photobucket album if that works!
Nope cant do that either? WTF?

Not enough post mate to post links.

Either get posting in off topic or start a project thread to get your count past 15.
