The Snetterton 200

Back in February Project Merlot headed over to the brand new Snetterton 300 circuit and found it to be much to the liking of all those driving that day. On Saturday 23 July the opportunity to have a go on the shorter 200 version of the circuit presented itself and Project Merlot was there again. Ma5da Racing had very kindly arranged for a lunch time parade lap for MX-5 Owners Club members and whilst only 2 laps it was still a great drive and much enjoyed by all those who took part.

4 Wheel Alignment

Project Merlot was today treated to a session on EMG Motor Groups newly installed 4 Wheel Alignment equipment. A John Bean "Visualiner" which has the latest technology in imaging alignment systems. It's able to measure Castor, Camber and Toe-in and give live readings for all 3 angles.

Due to Project Merlot's lowered suspension setup I was unable to obtain Mazda's settings, so even with the alignment completed some angles still show as red. I've set a bit more negative camber than spec which suits a track based car like Project Merlot.

The new equipment is a joy to use and gives accurate, consistent results.
