Recent snap of your Westfield

Attended Horsepower Hill at Heveningham Hall Country fair last weekend. This wasn’t about an A to B time but the speed you crossed the line. The track was short but fun. I was told there was a bend over a blind crest so lifted on my first run. I didn’t notice a bend so went for it on my next 4 runs.  I got faster each run and my fastest was 90mph.  The worst bit being a cattle grid 200m past the finish line so the brakes got a good test.  There were some nice cars competing and having fun from an F40, FX90, Lamborghini SVJ, R8s, Audi RS, 800bhp Focus. The winner was a 1500bhp Nissan GTR with 119mph.  Me and my daughter loved it and will go again next year.

You're not bothered by the damp I see Stuart. What tyres are you running?

 

What do you do if it rains, just put rainwear on and carry on?

 

I used to quite like it in the rain as long as it wasn't too hard and I could keep moving. That was in an exoskeletal car though, easier to dry out.

Been out to a local pub meet this morning.  Wasn't popular as the exhaust blows all the dust in the car park, whoops !

Not bothered about rain, unless is too hard. The tyres are R888R and are surprisingly good on the damp. The thing they don’t like is standing water when they can get quite lairy!

 

My side doors seal very well (rubber trim around the front and bottom edge), so I don’t get water spraying up into the car. I wasn’t expecting rain today so didn’t take my half hood or even a coat, was just in shorts and T shirt. It’s fine so long as you are moving, gets a little damp when you have to stop!

 

I go out in most weathers, salty roads are the main thing I avoid.

Yep, I find R888Rs very good in most conditions too. Never tried them in standing water but definitely wouldn't fancy that unless it's in a car park for handling practice 😁

Focuses the mind!

I did, driving back from a meet once and it was ‘interesting’! Plenty of aquaplaning and just had to go slow.

Having almost written my car off in 2004 by a big aquaplane, I can't emphasise enough how lethal wide tyres and a very light car combination could be.
