They essentially went and it felt like overheated fluid when my foot went to the floor. Fortunately I could just roll on through an escape road and cruise back to the pits with almost no brake use. 2 minutes of low speed testing the brakes after lunch made grinding noise so I parked up and switched them over with assistance, plus a couple of tools and ceratec from Mr Holmes and Mi60o0. Thanks guys! Got home with no issues.

I'm impressed by the evenness of the pad wear. You must keep your pin nicely lubricated ;)

It was a good coating of ceratec 2.5 years ago - not sure if Nick added anything to them in November last year, but they were all nicely greasy and moving smoothly today.

The 7s were generally quicker. Not sure if Chris was timing, but I had an enjoyable passenger lap in the M3. Very fast and nothing like a FD...

Wow got some good use out of those pads! What were they then? Looking at the mintex 1144 they seemed to produce a lot of smoke after pulling back in off track. The EBC yellow stuff didn't produce any from what I could see and didn't fade

Forgot to set up Harrys so no lap times but I did have a dashcam running all the time so some speeds and times cooked be worked out from that I suppose. Those 7s were B quick and there were some really good cars there"
It was a good blend and the two clubs fitted well together, it's must be the common rotary bond!

Sorry I couldn't be there in my 8 but thoroughly enjoyed hurling the M3 around the track and as Alan says it's nothing like an FD.

The 6 car format worked really well with minimal to no waiting and with a full length of the start straight between the cars each drive was like being alone on the track. The Pagid pads I fitted first thing were amazing once up to temperature, serious stopping power as they are actually an endurance racing pad. Only issue now is the screetch if braking lightly, but under hard breaking they are quiet.

Great to see some old friends again and meet some new people too. Usual great friendly and helpful RX8OC event atmosphere supplemented by the FD folks, thanks Cib24 for arranging this.

This event was the best one so far I attend.
Looking forward for more track days to come.
Thanks to Chris to be my mentor again.
Also to Alan to take me out in his 7 first time in 7 is superb.
Also nice to meet people in person some of them I know for a while in the forum but first time I see them in person

Firstly thanks to Cib24 for organising this & bringing the 7s & 8s together. Really loved the relaxed atmosphere of the track-day & the 6 car format worked really well.. often felt like I was the only car on track. Liked the free food too... probably a little too much if I'm honest :D
Really great to see some old faces again & meet some new people.
It may have been a little warm but I woke up in Blyton this morning to rain so we definitely had the better day.

These are, were my brand new Pagid RS19 brake pads that were making all the screeching. A brilliant pads for immense bite and stopping power. Ed measured the front disc temperature and it was 331'C. Despite the screeching when used lightly they worked fine with track pressures.
