    Does Alonso add value?

    I have been offered a Clio 182 Cup in French Racing Blue, nothing spectacular about that apart from it has Alonso's signature on the dashboard strip that says 'Airbag'. It's not worth any more to me but thought I'd ask your guys opinion. Added value, or vandalism? He has an erratic signature...

    Le Mans

    Any one going this year? I'm heading down, but there's a good chance No. 99 won't be going as I should have access to a load lugging 2.8 V6 A4 Avant Quattro to get us there with everything we need! Not really Trophy related, but this forum gets more activity than any others!!

    Kumho V70A Ecsta tyres.

    So Oliie's post about trackday rims and tyres got me thinking that I should probably do the same thing and get a set of trackday tyres to stop me killing a set of road tyres every other trackday. The tyres that I have read the most about on this forum are the Kumho V70A's, and I just want to see...

    Where to buy a set of track rims?

    I am considering a track day but really think it would be more economical in the long run to buy a set of dedicated track rims/tyres. Does anyone know if there is a set going cheaply anywhere? Also do I have to stick with the same dimensions as the current rim? If I change slightly I am...

    Trackday insurance

    How many people pay for it? If not why not? Does your normal policy cover you? Are you so rich it doesn't matter? I'm interested because I would never consider going out on the track with cover, but some people seem to be very blase. From various people I've heard it suggested that all you...

    Rota Wheels Question

    Tempted with a set of Rota Grids 16 inch (et40) My current rims are et43 and I've had Superleggera's (et38) in the past so the offset shouldn't be an issue for me (I hope) I know that Gary had some issues with his so I'm a little bit unsure.
