Trackskills on the 15th july

So whos for the next trackskills day on the 15th?

Just booked myself in, ive new radiator in so hopfully thats my cooling problem sorted.Lets hope i get a full days racing this time

I've new brakes

Good stuff did you get tyres sorted too?

no
one real good left rear may just do the trick

Must send Donal an email now and get booked in. Can't wait!

Still missing guides and valves On the way, fingers crossed and all that!

I am away but the MR2 will be there with Ted driving it, have fun, hope it stays dry for you all.

That mr2 goes well, whats it like when flat in the corners i hear theres a fine line between it starting to twitch an totally losing it..Ive never drove 1 quick

We heard the same but to be honest its the better through the corners than my 4WD Starlet on coilovers. Its more prone to locking up the rears on down shifts if you dont heel and toe it right. We are flat through Dettors at 110 and it may give a little wiggle but if you dont lift off its not a problem. If it had a closer ratio box it would be a lot better, coming out of a few corners its way out of the power band and you are waiting for it to pick up, the gear below is to high revs.

Now, its never been wet since we had it there, that may be a bit of an arse opener for us lol.

mondello is on same day ...

I want to try mondello too soon, who here has done both an whats the pro/cons of either track?

I love Mondello.. Well worth the trip down and a few extra quid! I've never driven the international track but the smaller track was great for the Westie, much more technical than Kirky.

Hmm I've no excuse not to go to this one so will be there unless our wonderful summer weather continues in which case I'll take a boat round.

@evo98 I've only ever been a passenger at Mondello but there are a lot more corners, some of which seemed pretty tight. Less run off too in places.

They have gravel traps too.

Did Mondello (International circut) last year with 10 other S2000s. Yes quite technical, but the twisties are great. Planning another S2k track day for August in Mondello at the mo.

@S2000-sam, there is an Octane trackday at Mondello on 27 July. The last one was very good, booked in for this one too.

There is also a Mondello Open Day on 15 July (same day as Trackskills). First "pure" Open Day this year, no time attacks.

Both full International.

You want to go to Mondello

Proper race track, technical, completely different ballgame from Kirkistown.

Make sure you get the full International track though. The National layout is ok, but not really worth the drive down from NI.

You may have to do a wee bit more thinkin when on Mondello

I would go to this octane day too mate, how do i go about getting booked on?

Theres a group of us S2ks (north and south) trying to get another day arranged.

Let me no if there is any space here too please

How much is Mondello for a days racing and what time do you expect on track?

@evo98 Tony, Retro-Stock also do days at Mondello, your car would fit right in. I was chatting to Fergal McGovern who helps run it and he said you would be welcome. Have a look on their site http://retrostock.ie/
