    Was very mixed conditions yesterday, the morning so very slippy but you was doing very well to keep it straight! I was in the Blue Megane.

    I've done a couple at Combe whilst raining and it wasn't as slippy as yesterday. It was like there was a layer of grease on the track! My brother span out twice in his Clio, once on the grass. I also locked up and slide off on my last session just before the bobbies! I packed up and went home shortly after this 😅 Did you get any footage?

    That was the wettest track day I've ever been too, such a shame. I was in the red Clio RS200. I only managed a few laps before I called it a day, it was just a bit too sketchy. How many laps did you guys do?

    It was sketchy and alot of aquaplaning! We packed up about 3pm and got about 4/5 sessions in. It's pot luck with track days - 2 out of 6 we have done this year have been in the wet but this was definitely the worst! This was my first wet day using Rainsport 5's which made a huge difference and gave me much more grip than my semi slicks.

    I was following you lot in my white 335d, was impressed at how fast they were! Any idea who span out? 😂 I got that on camera! Great driving tho!

    I have no idea who span out - must of entered quarry a bit too fast 😅 The power to weight ratio along with handling of the Clios makes them so fun to drive! Thanks 👍🏻

    Thanks for posting Dez. All the black Clios got a bit confusing 😂 Did the Yaris T-Sport let you by, as you should have about same power stock? I got to have a good chat with the T-Sport driver, fun cars, but chassis nowhere near as good as yours? I was in the mobile chicane MGTF, but it only has/had 116bhp, still good fun tho. That white Megane was just so quick! Looked like you had good pace, not much got by on the video!

    Me and my two brothers thought it would be a good idea to have matching Clios hence why there was so many - we always attend the track days as a 3 😅 The T-Sport Yaris has just over 100bhp - The Clios are 182bhp standard. The driver of the T-Sport is my brother in law and he has far more track day experience than me! It's only the straights I can catch up and get past on, I struggle to keep up with him around the corners but that's down to the driver rather than my Clio I would say, Yes, the Mégane was quick - I soon got into the habit of indicating to the right as soon as I seen him coming up behind me! I may have some footage of you on the track, I have a load of footage from the day but the audio didn't come out very good - so I'm not sure if I'll post it or not yet.

    @@dezkirkman Thank you for your reply. Wasn't there another black Clio, parked away from yours, I thought there were 4 in total! You'll have to put coloured accents somewhere like they do on identical F1 cars to show who's who! T-Sport, you're right, 100odd bhp. I've a standard later Yaris, but there is a 1.8 version your B.I.L & I had a good chat about, as he changed his wheels. I'm not sure the Clios were about much on track when I was on tbh. You'll be overtaking me sometime if you do have footage! I hope to do another Keevil & CC in the year, I'll say hello if you're there.
