IVA Postponed

IVA now Friday 5th February, lucky there was nothing in my work diary!

The rear brakes lights that have stopped working for some reason - need to get this sorted beforehand otherwise it will be a waste of time and money.

Hope to be in good spirits on Friday night!

IVA booked for 2nd February

I have now booked my IVA Test for Tuesday 2nd February. This is the test that the VOSA do on the car to make sure it has been built to a suitable standard where it can then be registered for road use.

This will enable me to get it registered on 1st March and drive (test) it on the open roads. This will be the last significant date for the car before we can actually say the build is complete, but not all cars pass first time. A fellow competitors car failed before Christmas on a faulty part supplied by Caterham themselves and he was forced to pay the £90.00 re-test fee and it wasn't his fault!

The car requires another full day of attention beforehand, where we need to make sure all parts are secure, nothing has failed and any nuts and bolts are not exposed.

My willing, and Subaru STi loving father in law, will be coming with me for the trip where we will report back on our experience.

Next Track Day Saturday 20th February

Due to the continued poor weather conditions in January, I have decided that my next track day will not be until Saturday 20th February at Brands Hatch. This will be one of their last weekend Track days before my racing starts so I needed to get this booked up before it fills up.

Those following me on the blog who wish to make the trip are more than welcome to come down to the track.
