I am amazed that you chose to ignore the state of that calliper. It didn’t show up on normal road driving & as the forecast was for rain, knew that I wouldn’t be pushing the car on the brakes. |

Wow, no wonder brake performance was, erm, suboptimal!

Went to Pembrey at the weekend for a double header sprint. Drove down Friday afternoon in convoy with my brother in his 5 & met up with Zed. for a chat in the evening. Pembrey is just my kind of circuit- you can really build speed thru a series of corners& lean on the car pretty hard. Managed pretty well in my entered class as there wasn’t one for Classic Marques, so I was in with quite a mix of ‘roadgoing over 2000cc’. Some of which were pretty dubious I thought, but hey ho, just crack on. Managed to keep ahead of a 450hp NC who unfortunately started to melt his cam cover & had to pull out after lunch. The very well driven Alfa 4C won deservedly so as it was bloody quick, in the separate CM sub competition , I won both days beating some quite quick cars. I guess it’s the nut behind the wheel..... Sorry there’s no video, I just went to download it & the bloody thing didn’t work.... |

Good stuff Howard, I was keeping an eye on times, I was supposed to be back sprinting at this one, but car not ready, hopefully soon I can give you and the CM boys some trouble again  saw you on there, looks like you did quite well, was really interested to see how Pekkas went, it was a shame for him to have a failure as he is quite handy. |

Hello Sandy, I was looking at your vids as it was my 1st time there. Yeah, I think Pekkas was worried about another fire- his cam cover was starting to shrivel & deform so he called it a day on the turbo car, came back in his other NC on Sunday which is rapid too. |

His other NC was stock, he's just rapid  When he gets that Turbo reliable it is going to be a beast. Good track Pembrey, only been there once, will definitely be on the list to do again. |

It’s got the same suspension as mine 😉 Hope you get your car done soon so you can come & chuck a spanner in the works. 👍🏻 |

Haha, talk about fitting the image you have of someone from just a few internet ramblings. Garage stained & ripped jeans and a beard were exactly what I would expect from Zed Rich. |
