Spa in Clio 3 RS Turbo

[Turbjj]

Yesterday I was in Spa for the "Journées passion Renault Sport" with my brother in his R26.
I had the luck of having a co-ride in a Clio 3 RS with R26 running gear modified to +-270bhp and in a Clio 3 RS with Meg3 RS 250 running gear (standard). They completely destroyed everything out on the track except a modified R26R. Now I wonder why i'm putting my money in the 21T

I want one

Ready for Spa on Monday. I pick up a Gopro this time from a friend to have some track-action recorded.

The Trackday yesterday was not that good, but had a special highlight. First i found out that changing the brakepads was not enough, vibrations after a few laps. Luckily i had a spare set and started changing them and yes... one of the four disc retaining torx screws snapped (of course the last one). As nobody had a drill machine, i used raw force and had to hammer it out with a screwdriwer...
Then back on the roads around Spa to bed the new brakes in. Missed a run. So i was hoping to have to nice runs in the afternoon. First one was very good but then again entering the pitlane, parking the car, switch it off or turning the key but the car was still running. Problems with the immobilizer again. Drove home, switched the car off with the clutch in 2nd gear.
And it will not start again, so i have to trailer it back to the tuner.
Special highlight:

When Mr. Ragnotti, the Renault God himself watches you changing brakes and you think about if you should start praying to him or continue working
Got a nice signature on a Renault Shirt

First drive on the Gran-Prix Track on the Nürburgring. (Unspectacular)
I let the 2 fast cars pass and then gave it a go
The Clio worked how it should, but the driver can still find some seconds, my line is improvable and the shifting to.
