Come on some people have to come and watch the touring cars. And poke about all these s3xy race cars that will be there
I am gutted mate, I really would be in my element, but it's 3 hours each way for me (without traffic lol).
It's gonna be awesome though 💪

Me and my lad are definitely coming down from Liverpool.
Think this will be instead of Oulton for the BTCC.
We’ve Le Mans a couple of weeks before too. Think the wife might have something to say if we were out all of June. :ROFLMAO:

Only an hour and a bit from me, which makes a change from all these northerners having all the fun.

I keep forgetting to say thanks to whoever put me onto the Hydra DPB-100 diesel additive. Even with the first dose, the engine starts much more cleanly without the smoky exhaust. Engine still feels a bit 'choked' and I've got to rev it a bit when I start it up for it to rev freely, but it's not a daily, so it might take some time for that to work. Needs a service anyway, so will have to see if that makes a difference.

Was thinking about the garage saying my turbo might be on the way out when I took it for its MoT, but given the turbo in the Leon doesn't spool unless the engine is under load, I'm not sure that's actually the case. I'll make sure the oil feed is healthy and might finally clean the intake manifold when it's warmer. How many times have I said that in the past five years though and not done it? It's as bad as telling the missus I'm going to lose 10kg...

That be me , been using it a while and this https://www.hydra-int.com/ehn-99.html , price has jumped but it goes along way due to Dosage and you can mix it with DPB-100 and a cheaper option and just buying this https://www.hydra-int.com/maximus-diesel-power-booster.html .. you really need to get the car up to temp and a good run as heat is the key for an additive and make sure the air filter is not skimped on service as that don't help and you need air flow due to the EGR system, also if the oil feed was failing the turbo wont last long as you'll get the good old thrust bearing siren noise

If I still lived in the Bromley area I'd have gone. But I'm in Yorkshire now. It's a shame, as I think I'll br on the road with mine by then. Got my test on 16th may 🤞 I pass. I'm dieing to drive my LCR
Best of luck for May. I bet your LCR is chomping at the bit as much as you 🤞
