Definitely well held bud. And good job you'd cleared those other two cars when you had. Could have been a whole lot worse

Fortunately everything barr the rims looks fairly cheap to fix.

Yeah I hadn't actually thought about what would have happened if there were any cars in font of me

I have another set of 17's here so it's not a big problem

Got to wait and see if there is any damage to the coilover.

Littlefeller I need to have a full tank at the start of the session or I'd run out of fuel

A full tank is only 120 odd miles. Usually in a 4 hour open pit session I aim to be on track for 1.5 - 2 hours which is just about when my fuel runs out. I could get a big gerry can but with a spare set of wheels + tools and other bobs I have no space left. No fuel is for sale at the track.

Looking at my lap times I did a 1.07 with a passenger, road tyres, and practically a whole tank of fuel. In the 5G my fastest lap ever was a 1.07 whilst riding solo, semi slicks, and at the end of a session with low fuel.

2 hours driving, must be fun

do you notice the differenc between full and empty?

It maybe feels a little more chuckable, otherwise I don't really notice the difference as its a gradual change.

I felt it rattle off the underside below my feet. Scary biscuits!

I recon you should remove your front plate on track days

I may well do

Hopefully next time out the car will look quite different with the black Kosei multispokes, new lip, and Euro/Bubble side skirts. And a bit lower
