Motorcycle helmet for the track

One of the best ways to enjoy owning and driving a performance car is to take it to a track and push it – and yourself – to the limit! Many people will own a fast car for years and never really use it to its full potential as its just not safe to do so on the roads.

During the summer months there are plenty of RWYB days at santa pod and track days at Silverstone and anyone with a driving licence and a road legal car can enter. The cost varies depending on the event but whatever the cost you definitely get your moneys worth.

You don’t have to prepare your car much – if at all – for track use, maybe just a fire extinguisher and a motorcycle helmets. Many people cover their car front and rear lights in tape so that if smashed they dont shatter. Some also cover their number plates with a X, but you’ll have to ask someone that does it why 😉

I will warn you in advance though, it has been known to be quite addictive! Friends of ours have ended up making their car so ‘track orientated’ that they have had to garage the cars for winter and buying daily runabouts to get to work in!

RalliTrak Premier Rally – October 2008

As normal some of the club members got up early on a cold Sunday morning and headed down to the woods for another day of Motorsport action.

Despite the low temperatures and a few sets of dirty alloy wheels everyone had a cracking day and caught most of the action on camera.

Toyota Sprint Series – Round 5 – Teesside

Ollie & Dave are entering into the Toyota Sprint Series next year so thought it would be a good idea to go and see what they are up against.

The day started around 12noon, well more like 12.30 after Dave has stopped messing about with his hair. Little did he know that he was about to embark on a very long and SLOW drive to Teesside.

Many hours later after Ollie’s 50MPH driving and a food stop they finally arrived at Teesside AutoDrome

Toyota Sprint Series Round 5 2008

We were greeted by a range of Toyotas all preparing for the evening sprints which did not start until around 6pm. Thanks to the hot chocolate everyone stayed reasonably warm despite being almost blown over by the strong winds.

To cut a long story short it was a cracking event, loads of friendly people, some really good drivers and some fantastic lap times. Fensport took the top spot again with their heavily tuned Toyota Corolla which has apparently been down tuned specifically for the TSS.
