Help
Well i went to Snetterton yesterday and had a full day on the new 300 circuit in my FRP. It was absolutely brilliant, the weather held out and was sunny most of the day, the track is amazing, the car was fantastic. The amount of abuse these little cars can take is incrediable. they just dont seem to suffer from fatique, the brakes never go off (unlike my Focus ST which last about 15 minutes and then are finished!)
Had some good battles with Alan in his stripped out track puma, and some of the other stuff on track like VX220's caterhams, MR2's, Mk1 Golf GTi's, the Puma stuck to them like glue on the corners and eventually bullied them into moving over no the straights.
Had a mini DV camcorder stuck to the front of the car so will post a link up once the films are on youtube.
Anyway, here are some pics:

well what can i say yet another amazing day. the cars performed so well again and done us proud, snetterton was a great track but pretty bloody fast it takes alot of nerves at times to go into a corner at 90-100mph and hang on. had a few moments when the track was still wet but no spins so thats always good ;-).
only down side of my day was breaking/snapping something in my drivetrain, i think ive snapped a driveshaft but wont know till i get time to strip it all down, the 110 mile drive home was interesting the steering was a bit vague and there was an awful noise as the wheels rotated, even worse when i lifted off it was better when the throttle was applied. hopefully its not gearbox damage as its a brand new frp lsd box, ill know in a couple of weeks when i get time to look.
but apart from that it was amazing.
heres a few of my pro pics:
and heres some other pictures i took on the day.
im going to start another thread for the videos :-)
