Excellent weekend :i-m_so_happy.gif:
Although the relay on the rad fan packed in after my sighting laps causing the car to over heat but thanks to Chris for sorting me out so I could get back on the track. Then a boost hose off which was a quick fix.
Overall the car was fault less drove down with no issues, hammered it round the track and then hammered it home no issues at all.
Can't wait for next year.

what a great weekend i thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was so good to catch-up with everyone even if Mart was trying to set light to us with the bbq and Arther and jasper were tying to get everyone drunk on Dutch beer. even on track the behaviour of driving was fantastic.
ps thanks to organisers for doing a great job.

Now I've managed to get a video off my GoPro and get it posted on YouTube I can give my comments on last weekend at Blyton Park... IT WAS FAPPING AWESOME!! 
Great people, beautiful cars, lots of alcohol, different nationalities who could ask for anything more... oh hang on, I nearly forgot THE CUP CAR DROVE LIKE A CHAMP ALL WEEKEND!! Had a wonderful afternoon giving the old girl a thrashing around the track and she did me proud. Here's a video of me having a few laps playing with @Pigsnake in his Coupe. We must have looked like a re-run of the Coupe Cup Championship running round after each other!!
Big thanks to @Jesus the 2nd and @xenon et al for coming over from Europe and joining in with the weekend festivities, and special mention to @tutuur for lighting a new fire inside me for something new.... more on that in another thread...

That poor gearbox @ 3.41 mins 
Was truly a great weekend, and on a personal basis, just what I needed to help take my mind off things. Always good to catch up with the old faces, and to meet new people who share the car/club/trackday passion. Respect to the Euro guys who made the long drive over - Sorry that the UK Summer shite weather was present. Good chatting to @tutuur about Winols/Megane mapping
The Meg' performed fantastic on track again, albeit boiling its brake fluid (again), although to be fair that was after a good ~40 minute full-on session. Got some good footage on track, which I'll upload when time allows.
Big thanks to the ClioSport admin team for putting on an awesome event, and an equal big thanks to Dave (sunglasses ron) for his help & assistance in allowing TR to be part of their day.
Roll on TR/CSF2017

Spielberg I am not, and it's the first time I've uploaded a video to YT, so gawd knows if this works 
but a short vid of me following @Brigsy around Blyton for a couple of laps, then @Scott_higgy afterwards.
Camera was mounted on the Meg's towing eye hook, and surprisingly isn't that shaky.
Anyway, hopefully this works (and I think there's an HD option too)...

Great video @Big Steve - Raider . What a weekend ,loved it. The ole Mac did me proud, she didn't miss a beat and she drove amazingly. Slicks would have topped it of tho.:af: It was so nice to finally get her back on track and would be good to get another track day in with you all soon.
Roll on next year.:ag:

Some wicked footage. I have plenty on my gopro but haven't had time to upload it.
Spoke too soon about the car performing well
Quick run out to the shop and boom no spark haha then it pissed down. Managed to get it fired up and home after a little play about with the relay and king lead.
I'll get more footage uploaded asap.
