Neil your welcome with the few little tips
Hope i didnt come across as being a cocky know it all twat. I like many others am still learning new tricks which is why i asked before we set out if you wanted / minded a few tips which in turn helps build your comfidence in both the car and your own abilities as a driver on track.
Think it certainly helped as you were starting to get to grips with it much more by end of the session and dare i say you even looked like you were enjoying yourself lol.
I certainly have learned a lot from instruction in the past from bike racing days then making the switch to cars so little tips from various people are always good to consider you then make your own judgement which results in you then being more confident which then results in making you smoother & in turn much faster.well done fella you are now no longer a trackday virgin lol.

Lucy (clio) is very 'Dead' but as Chris rightly says ''Its French"  Laughing
was'nt Russ's fault just real shit luck, however its ironic that now lent out 2 cars and both have come to lets say very abrupt ends  cant fix it
But Russ being the very genuine chap that he is as offered to fix it which he did not have to do so i thank him for that

Over all i had a brilliant day (despite the car) a good lot of banter with real genuine people but highlight of the day for me was driving Tims Clio which is i have to say certainly one of the best track weapons ive ever had the pleasure to drive, certainly put a massive grin on my face.

See you all next time hopefully.
Oh and Big thanks to Steve Cambell for lending me his Gtir to drive home in.
That car needs an asbo placed on it its so damned fast and just looks angry lol  affraid

Was a good laugh despite the problems with my French bitch.
Thanks to all for helping me out when it all went wrong on Thursday eve getting the broken Clio sorted.
Special thanks to Russ an Si for your chauffeuring help, it changed a disaster to something that ended in fun. I cant tell you the cooments from the hire car driver who took me home in the same car!
I don't know how to do it but they need some rep points!

French bitches have problems like hairy pits lol. Not a problem Ben had a great time thanks for a ride in that beast of a hire car so funny going out on track in it thumbsup
What did the driver say Ben ? Was it something like where is the rubber gone that is supposed to be attached to the wheel!!! Fair play to you for taking it out everyone knows hire cars are the fastest thing around

Something to do with how the steering didn't feel right and the gearbox felt clunky. .
You were a star mate, thanks...

Can't believe he took no pictures of the fastest car in the world!! Maybe the 'on hire' writing put him off taking any photos! There's loads of my dads, problem is that he now knows were I've been with it, I told him I was just nipping to the corner shop!!

We took the engine out of bob's car Thursday the clutch & flywheel in a similar state Sad the box was only held to the engine by 3 bolts that go through the starter!!! Think Bob should have some photos of it to post up.

Renault expert says he sees it all the time with standard clutches but never the Helix.
Helix also amazed and want to keep the bits to put in their display case in the factory!

Is that really worth fixing mate?
Could buy another and use that as spares.

And if you two new the top gun film you would know I am living the storyline perfectly. Crisis of confidence then comes back!
And besides, its Tim's turn for his clutch to explode! Jinx!

I've never seen that with an R!! That's a proper mess though, I can definitely see were the engine oil came from now! Surely it would be better to just fit a complete engine, box etc in but with a brand new clutch!!??
........ Or just scrap it and go back to that proper car you have...... The R35!?? That goes for you too Ben!!
