GT CUP BRANDS exige win!

General Meets + Track Day Reports

Back from Brands at the weekend and some top LOT racing!!!
Was great to see the x2 exiges in the GT CUP race.
Both great looking cars and one of them the 2007 GT3!
Spoke to Matt, he was in the Green S2.
Race one was great and a wicked start!!! Did not finish as the tyre came off the rim?
Race two, good start and finish with Class win for the exige, 10th overall ahead of some impressive machines!!!
Well done.
Any pictures please Matt?

Good to see you at Brands drop in anytime you see us always nice to see an exige.com’er!
Was a busy weekend and the Strattons guys really did the business on the car it felt great and I did suffer some what with a misfire, but we did what we could.
Race one, highest placed GTC3 car, was going well but on about lap 4 the right rear started to let go and I got slower and slower… I could feel it then deflate and then it came off the rim, that was a puncture.
Race 2 started further back due to position in race 1, but sorted that on the first lap!!!
Got past a few of the quicker GT3’s but couldn’t hold them off as the tyres started to go off. Still had the missing and it was frustrating but the tyres going off was the primary problem so just short shifting and holding off the aston behind me. Got a class win and finshed 10th overall.
All in all really pleased, thanks to the Stratton Motor Company boys for all the hard work and going the extra mile for me.
If someone can tell me how to post pics I can stick some up???
Rob can I email them to you for posting??
Cheers Matt

Well done Matt

Pics - first you need to upload them to a host such as www.photobucket.com (making the gallery “public”). Then post the link to the pic here as follows: If you’re still struggling after trying that, let me have pics & I’ll post them for you, dude.

Good job Matt,

Have to say I thought that the car looked great in that livery. And I’m sure Simon at Reverie received a few more enquires than normal today

Cheers
Will.

Thanks Rob/Will, Just uploaded a couple, have a contact sheet at the minute but have ordered the good ones from the snapper. Will post them as soon as I have them.
The car worked out really well and the Stratton Motor Company body shop did a fantastic job painting her. Lots of help all round!!

Oh no! I like that far too much for comfort…

Wow, that is a truly gorgeous racecar… Aston Racing Green sets all the reverie bits off sooo nicely too (much better than that terrible purple thingy )
