***trackday Series - Cadwell Park, 9 June***

That would be a most unfair characterisation. After all you did lend me a knee pad later :rollin

I\'m happy to say that despite the attempt to make me look entirely responsible for changing the brake pads, you did do half the work. :cheers

Shaun, his user name is Andy too! Shame it\'s the wrong side.....

Be aware he doesn\'t use the forum that much. I\'ll PM you his email address too.

Cheers, I\'ve emailed him !

OK, I\'ve now had a look at and crunched some of the numbers for the day (already posted on RX8OC, so no need to read any further if you\'ve already seen it).

Distance
Approx 300 miles of road to/from Louth, and 25 miles of travel to/from the circuit and getting petrol on the day.
100 miles of Cadwell racing circuit (about 45 laps).

Petrol
On the road about 18.30 mpg travelling to Louth
On the track about 7.95 mpg

Used approximately 57l of petrol on the circuit.

Oil
Total oil consumed: 1.0 litre
On the road: 0.3l estimated (the R3 takes about 1l per 1000 miles)
On the track: 0.7l (over 100 miles)

So about 7 times as much oil consumed on circuit as on the road (per mile). For the Protek-R users the total amount of oil consumed for road use equates to 250ml per tank, and circuit use is 750ml per tank.

Tyres
I didn\'t measure them before the track day, but the rears were new and are down about 1mm. The fronts have had less than 1mm (they had previously survived two Car Limits days as the rears). I was taking good care of the tyres

Pads
The front pair need replacing - the circuit is very heavy on the pads as the two main braking points are at Park (high speed) and Mansfield (downhill). I wasn\'t taking such good care of these


You might get some slightly different numbers if you crunch them - I\'ve used petrol fill up points and known distances to extrapolate. Meh - geek stuff.

Hey Andy.
Glad things are going ok mate. and hope your 7 gets sorted out soon whatever the final decision.
will still be good to see you around man.

[Casey]

Andy - great to speak to you on Sunday/Monday on the phone and hear that things were progressing remarkably quickly in getting your car back on the road. I hope it all goes smoothly for you and I see you and the car at Rotorstock, if not before!

Take care.

[CrissyUK]

Hey Andy, great to hear that the car is being sorted out quickly. Hope that you are OK too as you looked quite hurt immediately after the crash.
 
Look forward to seeing you again in your black monster at the next track day.
 
Big hugs,
Crissy

I have a shed load of photos from the day, what is everyone using to upload them nowdays Photobucket?
 
Pleasure to see the few people I had chance to meet on the day unfortunatly I had a big queue of passenegers so I didn\'t get to meet many people (though I saw plenty on track).
 
Glad to say the car survived all day with weakend exhaust hangers being the only casualty (the exhaust is now part resting on the chasis brace) and a stiff kick in the wallet.
 
My baby managed a stunning 4.7 MPG over the day which considering the poor RX8 owners who we\'re floundering around at the same consumption I must say I felt quite good. Needed 3/4 litre of oil and everything else got off scott free, used aout 50% of my tread on nearly fresh tires and about 20% off my pads also freshish. The wife and I were rather proud of her I must say.
 
Thanks very much to Casey, Clive and the MoT guys for organising this and getting my mate Mike out on track, it was an ace day and I look forward to seeing some more of you over the next few events. Also must say a thanks to Carl over at Hayward for setting up a nice useable responsive engine too.

Steve, it would be great to see your pics - use anything you are familiar with and post up a link here. I use Flickr, which I find very easy to use, but any freebie pic hosting provider will do.

Again, can\'t believe I missed you on the day! Look forward to seeing you and your car at a future event.

4.7 MPG and I thought my 9-10 MPG was bad :Giggle
