Hi Jaylen, and welcome to the forum.

I have no plans to attend as yet, Silverstone GP cct is EPIC, but it is rather expensive in comparison to other ccts.

I am also in Newbury and frequent Castle Combe, and Brands Hatch a few times a year. Keep an eye out in the "Race and Track Atoms" section for details.

If you ever want to meet up in Newbury for a chin wag / drive let me know.

Cheers
Peter
Atom 4, Clio v6, & some other cars obviously.

Hi Peter

Will be my first outing in the Atom, hopefully dry! I will be going with three friends in Lotus exige s, will be interesting to see how it does. I have been round the track in a friends 220BHP atom, really enjoyed it compared to the 911 C4S I was driving that day.
I drove it back from Chichester on Saturday, was not as bad as I thought it was going to be! Just looking at upgrades now!

Regards
Grant

Welcome. Great to see a few more in a relatively local area. Hope to catch you sometime.

Jaylen

Welcome to Atom ownership - I too have a house in the Newbury area but currently my Atom is out in Cyprus with me (fun in the sun)

What is the spec of the Atom you have bought and did you buy it from Southern Sky Motors?

If you bought from Southern Sky do you have any comments?
Atom 3.5R (Cyprus)
Honda CRV 2.2 Ex Auto i-DTEC (Cyprus)
Suzuki Celerio 1.0 SZ4 (Cyprus)
Honda CRV Ex I-MMD eCVT Hybrid (UK)

Hi

No I purchased it from Targafloriocars in Chichester. Atom 3 245bhp with the 3.5 upgrades to the steering and ecu.

Looking forward to doing some track days and having some fun in it. I have never really had a dedicated track car, I have always used my second car as a track toy but having gone through a few GTR's and Porsche's and now an R8 I decided it was better to buy something just for the track!

Hi Grant and welcome to the club! Silverstone GP is awesome but I'm tied up so won't be able to make it.

What colour did you get? I think Sam's car went to Targaflorio. Great car if so. The NA will top out on the GP circuit though!
310=325! That'll be the Presidential Remap kicking in... :vroom:

Hi Alex

William at Targa said the owner was from Oxford, it's orange but not for long.
