European Le Mans series qualifying today. 

This boy changed all 4 tyres, let the car off the jacks and walked away sayin "Peet Stop"😁

[dome]

Off to our next stop, we'll be back to Spa though when those pesky racecars have buggered off so we can have a play. 

Have some rammel

Destination achieved. First day on track for both cars at Assen tomorrow. None of us have been and none of us have a clue about the circuit. We're preparing by drinking beer and eating steak👌

We started the trip with 3 warning lights on and we still have 3 warning lights on.

They're different warning lights now though, obviously. #cliolyfe

I see four warning lights in that picture!

ABS, Airbag, Traction Control and SERV

Good morning from Assen!

Just get some immodium. You'll be fine 👍

[hairnet]

Nah shame there wasn't more

They gave you a flat plate so it leaked down the side so had to eat it quick

[dome]

We're not in Kansas Knockhill any more.

Queue for our second session was interesting.

Wee car went well. Stu is a very good driver, I felt totally safe beside him despite him never having been here before. Assen is a great track too. Track days here do seem like a bit of a free for all which takes some getting used to. Just send it is the moral of this trip...

Assorted rammel.

 

[dome]

Slight issue with the Megane, shame as it's going well. It's cool, we've got all week so can get it fixed for the next one.

Nah, it's got a cracked brake disc though. That's tomorrows job

I don't know if I should be impressed or worried that you can tell Lewis from his ass🫣

[dome]

They seem pretty relaxed about overtaking on track days here.

Stuck a stamp on this one, I'm gonna send it...

Nah, SERV doesn't count, it just comes on in addition to which other one the Renault Magic 8 ball diagnostics has decreed to be an issue at that particular moment in space time

Maybe not popular on here but this is fucking lovely, and it looks like a real one. 

 

Kudos to him for actually using it. He must have deep pockets. That turbo probably needed a ferry ticket of its own😳

He definitely uses it!

 

[loserone]

Overtaken by a Vectra? At least it wasn't a 1.7td.

[dome]

Pit stop today at a Dutch Renault specialist for some discs for the Megane. Guys were ace and gave us a tour.

 

[dome]

We were shown pictures of a very young Max Verstappen in this green Clio. I guess it was his dads. It's used daily though which is cool.

• the two track days is that vrij rijden? 20 mins a session? 20 euros a sesh i think it was

It's with RSZ, they organised yesterday at Assen too. Similar idea though 

[dome]

Zandvoort done! Track is amazing, definitely a bit better than Knockhill 🤣

Had my first run in the Megane today. Running a fairly mild 300bhp(for now) but the chassis setup is absolutely spot on. James also knows how to drive. I'm very impressed with both him and Stu. They both did very well for their first time here and the locals seem impressed at the crazy Scottish people 🤣

spa

bastard

always wanted to do spa on the bike (done monaco)

but checked even 15 years ago it was 400 euros or something daft

bastard

[dome]

Spa, completed.

I'm running out of words to describe how amazing this trip is.

I've been through Eau Rouge flat in the Mighty Megane 😳

The circuit is fucking awesome.

We're at a village a few km from the 'ring. Big boy pants required for tomorrow, and I'm just passengering 🫣
