So before the full trackday at Spa in April, planned a small trip to the Ring last Saturday, also to see if the car still performs like it should when pushing it. So friday evening off to the gas station to put some fuel in so I could sleep a bit longer on saturday morning. Trip to said gas station was fine. But when trying to leave the Megane decided it didn't want to. Flashing headlights, flashing cockpit and randomly activated windscreen wipers.
Called my neighbour if he could pop over with some jumper cables, as it looked like the typical Renault empty battery disco. That didn't work, so it was time to put my subscription to the Dutch equivalent of the RAC to good use. They showed up incredibly quick, within 25 minutes. The guy put some jumpers cables on the car and poof it started. Thanked the guy and drove the car home via a detour to charge the battery (if that was the issue).
But after turning off the car on the drive it started with the disco immediately. So my guess is that the battery just died. Popped to local autoparts shop next morning to get a new one, which sorted all the issues fortunately!
So Ringtrip postponed to sunday, left early and did a couple of laps. Car performed great, conditions were perfect aswell! As I wanted to keep the fresh AO52 for Spa I just left the Braids on with PS5's fitted.
2 weeks left before the Spa trackday. Can't wait to try the car on the Yokohama semi's. Fingers crossed for some dry weather. The 2 front wheels of my set of Braids seem to be warped, I blame Scotland, so will get this addressed before Spa and then we should be good to go.
