Croft today
- Thread starter Allman45
- Start date
On track at 10.30, freezing and soaking wet with some mahoosive puddles right on the apexs.
If i'm honest, I just controlled/drifted/powerslid ****** everywhere it was bendy! Magic fun!!
Got overtaken by a yellow Renault thingy in the ABSOLUTELY no overtaking zone, he just drifted past as I dozed.... (well done, I wish I'd thought of it whilst being held up by slower cars.)
If the pic comes out, that's me in a vain attempt at catching him. Well played.

Which one is you mate? That megane was 350 bhp
Yeah, Shark Stg1, CAI and catback. Before the catback it dyno'd at 318, so maybe an extra pony or two.
But then there's dynos and dynos, so who knows?
There's something a bit scary about taking your real car onto an open day track (dominated by incredibly enthusiastic young peeps!), not knowing if you've got a complete radgie up yer chuff!

Yeah, I was on the track at 2:50. Was pretty dry by then with a few puddles here and there.
Power wise is roughly 360bhp with the APR stage 2 map. And my brakes are completely standard... They're completely fried now, so I'm on the hunt for a new set up haha.
AP coilovers and whiteline adjustable drop links, at the minute. Front and rear whiteline ARB's are on the shopping list too.

Dunno to be honest (the Vectra?). The way the entries were set up was in BHP classes, a pal booked me on but I think the class was 250-350bhp or thereabouts.
It was a good day tbh, pretty friendly and not much by way of dumbo driving - but I defo get what you mean, and no insurance.
A vectra with 250bhp Jesus bets that's fun in the corners lol if u smash it up yourself what u do is drag outside the track then claim lol what they use to do on the bikes was send u out in groups and through the day separate you out by lap times and watching u on track so after a few sessions you had some good equal ish groupsDunno to be honest (the Vectra?).

Trackdays are hard on cars.
Fair play to that Laguna, it was seriously skelped from morning till mid afternoon, as I left.
A good atmosphere, I thought...

You drove that well! (always on the lookout for S3's)
There was some serious bhp in that round.
Thought the GT3 was a bit of a let-down and only saw the other 911 driven in anger for 1 lap, then back to driving miss daisy ***.
Any moments?

Cheers, ive drove that track 3-4 times now that was my first time in the S3, only owned it for about 3 months. Never really had any moments tbh i outbraked myself a few times at the end of the straights but thats about it. I was amazed at how well the S3 handled on standard shocks/springs, ill still be upgrading them in time for my next outing on track mind hahaha!
