Track Day. Trailer or drive there

[Sunnysidebb]

How do you get your cossie to a track day.
Ive been thinking, which is dangerouse. If the Cossie has an issue and cant be driven whilst tracking it how do you get back home??

[Dan Le Moignan]

I drove my one there and back, just AA cover if
worst happens

Drove my one there and back, AA cover if needed!

Hi Dan.
What if you breakdown on track. Will AA still pick you up in the Circuit car park? Presuming the circuit recovers you from the track back to service area/ car park?

[Dan Le Moignan]

Worst case I would just push it offsite and get recovered I think!

[Sunnysidebb]

I would imagine a like wise petrol head would help toe it off the circuit property?
Im not the greatest of drivers tbh and age is slowly going against me.
How did you feel on the track? Is there cars everywhere trying to get past you?

[Dan Le Moignan]

Car was really good on track with just konis, the bump steer it suffers from on the rear was mostly non existent as the surface is smooth so felt confident with it.
First track day and only a JPS lotus Elise type thing overtook me.
Was on MSD 380 set up and only slight issue was water temps were higher than on the road by about 8-10 deg which I guess is to be expected

Do you have an uprated rad and fans or standard?
You have the 6deg rear beam set up as well haven't you?
I haven't driven mine since fitting the SCS 6deg beam. I would like to get on a track and have a bit of fun, its not easy on public roads these days.

[Dan Le Moignan]

At the time was standard rad and fans!
No 6 deg beam on my one just uprated diff mount, powerflex main beam bushes and the Rainbird toe shims

When was the last one you did. Do you plan to do any more. We have a track day at Knockhil 26th Feb, I was thinking about doing it.....but I keep getting the "Cosworth anxiety" as soon as I turn the key and the engine starts.

[Dan Le Moignan]

Think it was like 2019! Last time the car was on the road before EFR turbo.
Fingers crossed i will get it back running for the spring.
Not sure if I’d do another, nothing to do with the car just didn’t find it an amazing experience just ok!

[Sunnysidebb]

Thats an interesting view.
I must give my first track a a go then perhapse I will feel the same and get it out of my system.
Have you ever driven the Ring? I want to do that too. Drove there but didn't go on it.

[Dan Le Moignan]

No but always fancied driving out there!
Would be a cool trip if we could get a few cars together!

[Cochyn]

Count me in, plenty of friends there with ramps and tools to help if anything should happen. My advice is, would be sacrilege not to Ring it as intended lol

I’ve driven my Saph to and back from track days for 17yrs, prep it well and take lots of tools and all the spares you can think of.
