Rich196 103 Report post Posted July 24, 2016 Saturday we had a great day out at the Ace engineering track day at goodwood. Great to see @Mark Gillam form Abbey Motorsport thanks for doing some tweaks to my maps on your day off. Much appreciated! I took the opportunity to take some Ginger Vs white, Harrop vs sprintex pics. Charged twins!

Its a take of oil stored under pressure than can compensate for an oil starvation. Saves having a baffled sump. 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ124 118 Report post Posted July 25, 2016 Ah I saw your car but never saw an owner nearby to chat to, looked great with the carbon kit on. I was driving the grey GT86 on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich196 103 Report post Posted July 26, 2016 @AJ124 Sorry, I was only socialising not driving so not around the car much. You looked to be going well! Do you track the car much? 1 AJ124 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ124 118 Report post Posted July 26, 2016 @Rich196 no need to apologies. Thanks for the pictures, there great. I was struggling with bravery at the Chicane, had to be so close to the tyres to straighten it out. I try too, have only managed 2 days this year as I kept buying bits for the car. Saturday was spent testing my new coilovers and playing about with settings, hopefully next year I will do a few more. Do you track yours at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You were getting pretty dam close. I probably have a few more pics if you want them. Mine is my weekend toy and track car. Iv not been back long from the ring. Only done two proper track days this year so far Donny Snett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ124 118 Report post Posted July 26, 2016 It's a track that doesn't give much room for error! Cool any pics would be great. If its easier I can pm you my email? I'm desperate to take mine to ring, went a few years back and loved it. Second pic looks like you were having fun! I'm going to try and do a Brands Hatch evening end of aug/september as they are normally good fun and I work near Horsham so only takes 45mins to get there, will post up if I book something as its always fun with other 86's to play with.

Used to live in Horsham so this was my local track done it a lot in various cars. Not in the 86 yet was hoping to do it this year. Im not going to make the 1st of August evening now. I would definitely be up for a evening session. @AJ124 @knightryder @rob275 1 AJ124 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
