DC5 restoration - track project

Longer video.
 
Cheers mate, I do like to push. Definitely a lot to learn plus more confidence required in some corners such as Blanchimont 2 which I think my car is capable of doing flat. I also need to tweak the geo and get some castor top mounts.
 
Would love to do Spa. I feel like I could learn it and push a little, whereas the 'Ring just seems hugely daunting.
 
Mark, it's exactly like that. The 'Ring is a great drive, but you're always on edge as you'll never learn the track and you can't relax. Whereas after a short while at Spa you fall into the groove and really push yourself. So much fun, and still the best track I've driven on.
 
Circuits like Spa and the GP circuit have loads of run off, so unless you're being a tard there's not much chance of hitting anything. Some places of the ring have about a foot off run off hence my time was really poor.

On the GP circuit, it's whacky races on there! Not sure what was up with my hand positioning.
 
Car sounds fantastic Chris! And the GP track looks like it would be real fun in the 32 :lol:

The GP circuit is really, really good mate. I'd much rather do laps there than on the 'Ring, but it's only open some evenings and you don't always get the full GP loop.

I really like the noise too, I have no regrets getting a Mugen over the Gruppe M, it's much less in your face, makes the exhaust and intake sound more balanced, made more power and fits better.

Another upload, lap of the 'Ring itself. Taking it very easy as the car was bouncy as hell so I had no confidence to push.

Were you really chilling on the straight bit or was that Scirocco hauling ass? Look good fun though!

Always thought the ring would be choccers constantly, did you have to wait long to get on?

He was faster in a straight line but I had him in the corners. Story of many cars I came up against.
 
I was hunting down much bigger HP cars at Spa such as M3's etc. Felt good.
 
July is out as others have requested leave before me (not allowed more than one person off at the same time), and it's my anniversary in October so it would be date dependant. :)
