Still on the hunt for a 200 cup, meanwhile the M3 has been performing pretty well

Done Rockingham this time last year on the same ex BTCC medium slicks and beat my last years personal best by 2 seconds.

Video from my point of view, can clearly see me holding back through the banked turn 1, as in all honestly the corner with the wall scares the crap out of me.

From my friend Oil M3 (super quick driver with aero)

Ideally a stock white cup (not just cup chassis), recaros, speedlines, no spoiler, no tinted windows ect.

Finding one is proving to be a little tricky.

Also am I right in thinking there is only one LY 200 in proper cup ? If so was yours at Silverstone the other month on an opentrack track day ? Had a quick look around it.

Yep, that was me; was a fantastic day with the only downside being that it was a bit over subscribed.

Just in the process of giving my car a really thorough clean and sorting out the rear arch and wheels ready for sale as I have bought a meg 250.

Hopefully you will find a decent white cup pretty easily as I think they are a fairly common colour.

Opentrack days are always over sold and very badly run, I will never sign on to one of his days again! Wouldn't advise anyone to either.

How much roughly would you be after for yours ? MK is not far from me either.

I am reserving judgement with Open Track. By far the best has been Gold Track although a tad pricey. I'll drop you a pm.

I've been on one of their days and that was more than enough of a bad experience, been offered 25% off as such a bad day, before I jumped in to waste another day I went along to 2 other opentrack days as a passenger with friends, both days a complete joke!
RMA are by far the best run days, overtaking on both sides made working through traffic so much easier.
