ATP Wheelwash, by a good half a pit straight. He often does some great images and puts other in the limelight, so I thought I'd return the favour. My images may not have the same colour, contrast or post production... but I do my best.

Thank you for the kind words and excellent photos from yourself Greenfly, this one in particular is very appealing. Unfortunately my body stopped working again this week so i havent had chance to post anything up yet myself, the photos are all done, a mighty good looking lobby it certainly was too.

Better late than never i guess, nearly a week after the event, a chance to finally post some pictures up. After the joy and pleasure that was Tsukuba, a rough week this week at Mugello Club, never liked the Club Circuit as it cuts out the best bits of the track and it soon became apparent that overtaking in a Honda Civic wasnt going to be easy.

A consolation win to round off the TCC for the evening, although busted for a jump start by 0.048 seconds, so an extra pill to swallow on top. A week to forget and thankfully Sunset Peninsula up next, at least i like that place. If you would like more photos, theres a stack load on the Wheelwash Racing & Media Facebook Page , go on try it, you might just Like It!!

Funnily enough Thom, you wernt the only one and yours was in practice. We at ATP have a Wall Of Shame, its just a simple straight forward thread involving the misfortunes of the team and the photographic evidence attached. It can be found on the team forum, as well as the Wheelwash Racing & Media forum and the team page on VM.

We believe that a series of pictures can say a thousand words, and yesterday evening at Sunset Peninsula, i managed to speak rather loudly (and mainly using four letter expletives well away from the mic as well for being a numpty!!)

I present my:

Filmed on location at the Sunset Peninsula Raceway in sunny Florida, the series was the TORA TCC, Meeting Five and from Lobby Two, a certain really good looking chap called ATP Wheelwash ever so slightly miscalculated the right hander coming towards the chicane on the reverse circuit, you know the one, the kerb that you make sure you not hit wrong as the result in the vast majority of cars involves scraping bits of car off the floor, if only Moo heeded his own advice.

Yes clipping that bloody right hander called Beanz Launch Pad after the entertainment in Lobby Two yesterday evening, i thought i had straightened it out once back on four wheels, unfortunately, i didnt scrub off much speed, ok i tell a lie, i didnt scrub any speed off and yeah, those tyres are pretty solid.

A badly damaged car then, but i still managed to end up in a race as BG Beanz had a similar miscalculation at the same corner a few laps later, so two damaged cars, battling to finish last in the lobby while the rest of the field were already tucking into tea and biscuits. It was an exciting finish until Beanz decided to repeat the same accident on the final lap!!

In 3 races Beanz managed to roll it 4 times lol.

If he'd have told me he was having a problem I could've tuned it out of the car for him.
Although the best tune in the world won't make up for hitting the tyre wall then rolling.

That's the kicker, i hadn't had a single roll in practice, and then it all goes tits up in the races! I'm sure i had the win in race three in the bag to be honest too... :drool:

I'm liking the fact i get a corner named after me though, the Beanz Launch Pad is shall now be known as. You know you really got it wrong when they name a corner after you! Embarassed

See beanz, if I can get chucky not to roll it. I raised his ride height to double what it was and compensated with the springs and dampers, little roll bar adjust and it actually turned in as well.

man I love it when a plan comes together (puff on cigar)

I know what it was, i turned in too early each time and took too much curb, just don't trust the car at all to do what i want, really struggling with it to be honest.

Did something similar on the vtcc a long time ago in my first season of the touring cars Laughing

The dizzy heights of Lobby Two this week as Sunset Peninsula welcomed the teams in the TCC. To be honest, i love this place, especially the Full Reverse Circuit, its the one meeting in the calendar that sold the entire series to me, a good equalizer circuit that can have the very best screaming blue murder, although i guess its a track that really suits my style of driving.

Slightly disappointed with my qualification time, but it was good enough for a series high Lobby Two, the Honda was loving it around here, finally had a small advantage over the Megane in the speed department down the straight and although still poor off the start line, possible to regain the track space through the corners.

I was a bit outclassed in Lobby Two, and as you can see from an earlier post, race two didnt exactly go to plan, but is was a whole lot of fun. Heres a few pictures showing the sights that was Lobby Two

Theres some more on the Wheelwash Racing & Media Facebook Page , they have actually been up there a few days now, but unfortunately the body stopped working again for 24 hours so not got chance to post till now.

On to Nurburgring i think to finish things off.
