If you've got that attitude then I'm not coming!!!

It's ok, I don't know how to lose

Is that the 750mc roadsports series your entered in?

[Zoobeef]

It's the Armed Forces Race Challenge.  Part of the 750mc.

I raced with the 750mc in Roadsports in the MR2 challenge in the early/mid 2000's. Good bunch of people, last race was Brands 10 years ago!

Never raced to Rockingham. Nothing is like being in the middle of a pack and nothing prepares you for it. I lasted three corners on my first race before my first incident and DNF!  

Good luck and have fun, If I had the money I'd still be racing.

but I'm not sure how testing on the day before works at the minute.

Test days are just track days without the rules. I wouldn't bother unless you need to prove the car or you need half a second - it's your first race, you dont😊

[Zoobeef]

Yeah checked out the price and it's £208 for the day too.

 

Yeah the guy on Seloc is Navy so I've seen his posts on the RNRMMSA group.

Good luck your first race will be a blur of activity. Get signed in and get to scrutineers as early as possible as time flies by!!

Watch out for the sailors in the toilet pre race

[Madmitch]

Makes me feel very old, my first race was almost exactly 50 years ago, at Silverstone.  Rockingham didn't exist then!  Enjoy it, looking forward to the vid!!

Did the last few jobs last weekend and currently looks like this.

 
 
 
 


The numbers should be at home when I get there on Thursday.
Did a quick toe measument with some string on Sunday and found out why I'm so slow. It's out, by alot.
Front is
Left - 2mm toe in, right - 2.5mm toe in

Rear is
Left - 3mm toe in, right 7.5mm toe in

So, before I head to Rockingham I'll check the ride height and set the front and rear toe to what I've been recommended.
I was going to buy some scales and do the corner weight too but I don't think I'll have time so will do that after this weekend.

Big thanks to Mark Penny for being at the end of a phone for this whole process especially when I was complaining about fitting the cage and the bloody cv gaiter.
Also to lotushardtops for the single skin carbon roof. Hopefully won't lose this one 😂

Looks awesome dude, I might pop down to watch on the weekend

Good luck, looks like far too much prep work for lazy old me.
