Donington Track Evening - 10/07/07 [56k]

Had a great time, went with BookATrack to Donington Park for an evening session. Everything went brilliantly, BM held up to all the abuse we gave it.

We were on the longer GP circuit, so had the Melbourne hairpin to contend with. We managed around 20-25 laps each and even met the owner of another rusty black 1988 BMW E30 320i!

Next challenge, the Nurburgring.

You could have smiled!

Looks like fun. I want to get my CTR on track but I would need some better brakes, spare pads and spare rubber.

how hard was it to get the rollcage in?

gobbo · 16 Jul 2007 at 17:49

Already done when we bought it.

How much was the motor?

gobbo · 16 Jul 2007 at 17:52

£700.

We've spent about another £300 on it for tyres, oil, filter, plugs, brakes etc

Bloody bargain

Where did you get it etc?

Looks fun

....although open face helmets should only be worn by grandads on C90's

Mods are cage, seats, harness', koni shocks, koni -35mm springs

The BMW looks like a real little race car!!

How were the Metros going?

gobbo · 17 Jul 2007 at 17:45

Very well, I think there were 3-4 there.

Running anything from a standard 1.3 GTA lump, 1.8 VVT lump or a 2.0 rear mounted turbo.
