Hello.

I'm new to 10-tenths so thought i'd say hello! I've been involved in track events for 10years and have had a race car which i have sold

but i'm currently looking out for a new one!

Hey everyone, Ive just put a 'hello thread' in the marshal's forum but thought I should put one in here too. Im 29 and from Leics.

I dont currently own a track car and have not previously done a track day but I feel that the day I do is fast approaching.

Im into VW golfs and will probably be buying a cheap mk3 to use, they fetch rock bottom prices at the minute and lots of the weight can be stripped out of em. Has anyone else used a mk3 golf on track? Any tips?

Hopefully I'll see some of you on track next year and there wont be a train of cars behind me!

Hey everyone

Been around here for a couple of weeks now. We have a very small team with a very small budget - Northern monkey motorsport(@N_M_Motorsport). We have a saxo vtr, in white. Its stripped out with a racing seat and 4 point harness, all standard and we only began last year with a trip to the blyton circuit.
Aiming for at least 2 trackdays this year and hopefully some improvements aswell as maintenance. Would be great if any one would follow us on twitter. Currently working on a non starting issue.

Hey everyone,

New to the forum...wanted to say hey. I've got an MK4 VW Golf at the moment, saving to get myself something different I can prep for using on track!

Lol, not yet...it's only a 1.6 S - don't know if it would hack it against other track cars.

Hi,

Recently joined the forum and thought I should introduce myself here despite making a few posts elsewhere on the forum.

I have done a few track days and driving experiences, but would like to do more. Sadly I don't have a dedicated track car but would like to give both the Capri and 3200 some track time.

Blimey a KA that's not rusted away !

Were not they built of plastic? My ex missus, (2 back) had one, took it down France, went like a bomb at high speed, but you couldnt leave it in full sun..

No only the front and rear bumpers, most of them fail an MOT with rust even 7 year old ones !

I had one as a loan car for a couple of weeks when my Senator was in for some repair work after some prat attempted a break in and only managed body damage and cutting all the alarm wires. The loaner was a bodyshop special - previously repaired. Probably rarely serviced. If ever.

At the time I was doing a weekly commute to South Wales. 132 miles and usually not any sort of peak traffic time. Dual carriage or Motorway nearly all the way.

The fastest return trip I ever managed was in that Ka. No Idea why that should be - it's handling was fun enough but top speed was nothing special according to the clock. I was almost (but not quite) sorry to hand it back (once they had failed to get the wiring sorted and simply fitted an after market alarm to the Senator).

Well i see this is not quite an active thread but i am gonna introduce myself anyways.

My name is Kostas, i am originally from Greece and for about a month now i have moved over at Spa Francorchamps, in Belgium for work.

I own a Honda S2000 for 7 years now and have been building it for track use mostly.

Can't wait for the season to start so i can visit some of those great European tracks that are situated around where i live now.

Would love to meet up with anyone that visits or lives around here!

Cheers,
Kostas!
