If i hadn't have fubar'd it i would have been ranting a standard sei sporting around, sadly not though..
erm JTD limiter?
Doubt it, some of the cars on castle coombe are pretty damn loud. Only road car i've ever seen refused for noise at coombe was a silly supra with 500+ bhp.

so what will it cost me parts wise? new brakes? tyres? or should they last the day unscathed? :chin:
If you're on a dry day, then get some almost illegal or almost illegal tyres to drive on. Anyone who has driven on very worn tyres knows they're great in the dry - but dangerous in the wet.
Also what brakes does your cinq have? standard solid discs? Might be worth doing a vented disc conversion if you're going to be hard on the brakes.

castle combe check your tyres.. and they have to be legal... but there is a set of legal semi slick yokos that are sold... the patern looks like cross hatch and they are really good
i would suggest you just check the brakes etc are good enough for some normal (hard) driving.
a session is 15 mins.. so the more laps you can do the better.

Bebsie - dont worry about me running off, mostly motorway works around here atm but if you ckme up watch out for the cameras as there are loads about at the moment.
everyone is welcome to come, and hey the lower powered cars might handle better, who knows ?!
as said i'm already booked on the track, i wouldnt really worry about needing new tyres and brakes as its just a 15 minute session, shouldnt be more than some hard driving as said.
if we want to meet up before going in and i will arrage a tiem and place, for your interest i'm on the afternoon track session and yes you need to ring them to book it.
Cheers,
Ryan
