Nice vid Gurds!!

Car sounds sweet

 

Great quality vid.

Not a cloud in the sky either - nice.

The car seems to handle well too. What kind of power is it? ~180bhp?

 

Fit.

I was kinda hoping that the Fabia Estate would catch up and overtake though...

 

Cheers Guys!

It's never been dyno'd but its a bone stock ABF on K-Jet. So whats that normally? 170-175bhp?

It's my 1st time out at the 'Ring too.

Regards,

Gurds

 

Nice laps Gurds!!

Your car keeps me motivated !!!

Nothing first time about that vid - Nice driving man!

 

i love it when the M3 goes by and the revs go up!

 

for your 1st trip i would say super fast lap

 

you allowed to video again then?

 

I was guesstimating at about 170-180, looked similar speeds to my old 182 clio.

Just saw on the Nurburgring thread that it was your first time there! That was a very quick and well driven lap not having been before! Playstation GT4 practice?

 

No

 

Yea, PS2 + GT4 has a lot to answer for. Just missing the 190e Evo in normally drive .

Saying that, GT4 can't prepare you for the immense G's felt on some parts of the circuit, as you already know 1st hand.

I have a quicker video I will put up tomorrow with a slower overall lap time due to coned off oily sections and a couple of cautious overtakes.

A good lap with decent lines, more practice needed to gain confidence and knowledge; but if you do that you'll be bloody quick!

Get back out there!

 

Great driving Gurds, I think it was only your 4th lap when I pax'd with you and that was impressive.

Nice late turn in @ Bergwerk

 

Awww thanks guys. I'm just car nuts like the rest of you.

Steve-R, Your Pax lap was really helpful and thanks for pointing out the Dots and late turn in too. . Your driving felt really smooth and accurate.

driveforward, also thanks for the advice too. Shame I didn't actually get round to sitting in your Ring-kart. Next time!

Here is a slightly more 'on it' video.

impressive stuff . last time i was meant to go my flatmate lost it and went backwards into the armco writing off the 3series.

 

Mastered the circuit sooo quick , awesome ,

 

For your first trip ? GREAT lap

 

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

TrackCab, far from mastered.

Funny thing is, the more I watch them, the slower they feel. Lol.
