So on sunday it was my first round of Time Attack at Snetterton couldnt make Cadwell due to issues with mapping

So Snetterton is only a couple of hours away so i set off at about 1ish to set up and my trailer started to smoke!

So one fucked wheel bearing later i thought i wasnt going to make it!



One call later to Barwell Trailer Hire i had another sorted! By this time it was 5pm

Arrived at the circuit at 8pm and all was well got it into the garage no issues!

Race Day -

Take the car for scruitineering everything is fine with the car and i get the pass! On the way back to the pits a main fuse for the UPC kept blowing!!! I had ran out of Midi fuses trying fix after fix. The issue meant i missed warm up but no biggy! Popped off to thetford to get some fuse's but they didnt have any midi's So....... i used fuse wire! it worked after i messed with some wiring and no more blowing!!

So im pretty much one of the lowest powered cars in the clubman FWD class but oh well!

On to practice it was wet very very wet! Running V70a on the front and Pilot Sport Cups on the back was a very interesting combo!

Timings -

Warm up - Didnt Run
Practice - 1.5045 16/20 out of fwd, Rwd & 4x4 10/11 in my class
Qualifiing - 1:45.722 16/20 out of fwd, Rwd & 4x4 10/11 in my class
Final - 1.32:256 13/18 out of fwd, Rwd & 4x4 7/10 in my class







Have a few bits to sort for Brands Hatch but thats about it. I know in this class im not going to be high in the scoring aspect but im happy.

One thing that I noticed was how well Martyn Henry seemed to be going.

He does SLS up here with us, and is kinda mid-pack in Class C (power to weight classes).

Serious question about the branding on your car, bilstein etc.

Is there anything in that for you, or are they event sponsors and hence mandatory?

It's fun and something different all you win is a trophy anyway. You could say that about any motorsport it's expensive.

Nic - stop troling.

Not everyone can win..... and taking part is still fun.

It was his first event, and would have had to have done VERY VERY well to have won with cars that are a lot more powerful, and with more experienced drivers.

Do you plan to do anything successful with your life Nic? If not..... why bother. Just end it.

Or will you be content to take part and have fun?

I imagine £360 per event is a drop in the ocean over a season with the running costs of the car and tuning to be competitive.

You can pay £360 for some track days, particularly at Grand Prix circuits and they're completely none competitive.
