EVO Magazine Track Evening @ Bedford

Just got back from Bedford on the SW circuit. It’s not my fave circuit but it’s close and I wanted to give the car a bit of a shakedown after recent works at JSRacing. It really was an evening of positives :

  • My brakes were fantastic and Bedford has a few big stops. I’ve struggled with brakes for a very long time now and I am seriously happy to have braking performance inline with the performance of the rest of the car :sunglasses: Special thanks to John at JSRacing for a great job - you guys deserve to do well with service like that - really top-notch stuff. I’ll post up full details of my brake set up when I’m not so knackered.

  • My car is now running Randy’s special flavour of Nitrons and with those and the geo done at Hofamnn’s before Anglesey it is absolutely mega. It feels so sure footed and deterministic in both the fast and slow sections of the circuit…fan-bloody-tastic :slight_smile:

  • OK I was still short-shifting a bit but no black flags for noise - Martin’s mahoosive back box works!

  • Lots of quality machinery out tonight, GT3’s, CSL’s on slicks, R400’s etc etc, let’s just say that even with my truly modest talent I did my bit to uphold the honor of the Exige SC Ricer brigade. The GT3 all over the place trying to keep me behind was laugh out loud funny :wink: Lots of positive sentiment voiced in the pits about the car and the usual level of admiration of Martin/Steve Honda based handiwork.

I love my car…that is all :slight_smile:

Brilliant news Ben :smiley:

When it all works so well nothing beats it … fantastic !!

Including the wheels??? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Seriously though, mate, great news :sunglasses:

That is excellent Ben!

Martin gave me a pax ride at Donny and the sideways look on the GT3 boys as we went past them after a few laps was just priceless!!! :smiley:

BTW, WHITE wheels dissapate heat better… as you will soon see! :slight_smile:

In case you were wondering about the post, my car does not leave me until Wed so I can still post eh!!!

Yep as you know I saw your car tucked up at JSRacing when I dropped mine off. Does look nice Ben.

My shake downs on Monday evening at Donny. Looking forward to it, new AP grooved discs and SRF…not to mention my new Sparco wheel!

Thanks for the comments Ben, glad it all went to plan!!!
