Trackday thread.

Just a thread in response to a request for one where members can post where they're planning to be if others want to meet and join in wrecking clutches and tyres.

Here's last year's video:

YouTube - Honda S2000 Spa-Francorchamps 3rd August 2010

and some lovely stuff from the pitlane, the 458 Italias are particularly choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up

Do you guys use your daily drivers or do you have trackday cars?

Gutted the mx5 went wrong as that was destined for the track

Mine has not been tracked or raced,so it's an everyday drive,and has to be reliable as well.
All of the engine mods are within the margins that others(including an LMS driver) have used on their cars,so it's been kept on the safe side of what's possible.

My daily drive is a train, but the S2000 is my only car.

As for reliability, it's an 'onda. 100k miles and still going strong. Just replacing bits as they wear out (roof last year, clutch/flywheel/radiator this year - all of which will hopefully last another 100k miles) but that's relatively cheap to do.

I also put on some Gaz coilovers this year which are a bit of a work in progress (me being their guinea pig) but we are getting there.

Other than that/ICE, the car is standard. that means it's a bit compromised for the track but then I'm not racing anyone and just do it for fun.
