Expert Track day heroes
posted by EventAddict, 22-Oct-08
While most of you were stuck at work yesterday doing your jobs and living your lives, there are a few that take days off to race cars. We forged a note from our mums, and blagged a day off to Brands Hatch to capture Tuesday’s track day fun on film. Every week you can almost guarantee there will be some sort of organised event going on at one of the many race circuits in the UK. They’ll welcome you with open arms, no-matter what you drive - so long as you pay the...

Team Saluki 18th October
posted by JamesThomas, 20-Oct-08
This morning started by going to Satwa to get a tow hook for my car. Having visited 6 or so shops to be told 'no problem sir, 1 7/8" or 2" will be fine', I left and went another shop that actually stocked the 50mm ball that I needed. Then over to Marks to make the duellie look pretty, pictures attached. We also sorted out the spares in the back, organised the trailer and fitted the tow hook to my car. All is looking good for next week, the support and service are the best...

Today was spent in the kennel working on the Saluki. Nothing major, just lots of small things like cleaning off the old stickers and putting stickers on, fixing the new oil lines and adding a couple of vents, fitting the new fire extinguisher system, and tidying up the chase cam. We had some visiters, Streaky and Malcolm popped in to check where to best to mount the irritrack and cabling for Malcolm's race car. We also had some Russian visitors, who want to feature the car in Russian...

Another Friday, another test. Having met at Mark's we headed out to the usual test route. We thought it was about time Paul, the navigator, got to ride in the car, so I followed in my car to act as support. We were also joined by Richard who wanted to see the car in action. The Saluki was fresh out of another week of fettling by Rick and Leno, with the oil cooler being moved into the nose with extra vents cut into the bodywork. This proved to work really well, with the oil keeping well...
Team Saluki 3rd October 2008

Time for another test. Mark and I headed out to the test route to see what effect the changes had made. The first disappointment was the Saluki's lack of willingness to start. Eventually we were up and running, and running well. The changes to the cooling meant that the water didn't get above 95 degrees no matter how hard Mark pushed - so that is one issue solved! I have recorded some footage from the navigators seat - apologies for the shakey image, but it was very hard to keep the...
Expert Citroen’s GT
posted by NewCarAddict, 20-Oct-08
Are we heading for a world where pixelated fiction is going to merge with real life? If it’s GTA then we could be in trouble, but for car fans this could be a fun twist. Citroen and the makers of Gran Turismo have started the trend with the all-new GT. You may have seen the car on blog sites around the world as the French car maker unveiled the GT, bit by bit in a slick marketing campaign. The car is extreme to say the least and won’t be a frontrunner for...
