Very jealous. Would love to go to the ring.

OK, so took my wife out for a lap this afternoon - nothing new there, but it was cool (for reasons only one person in this thread knows

Anyway, had some more laps by myself.

Most amusing quote from a Clio 200 with R888's was "can I follow you round, see how we compare" - I went through the gates with him, never saw him again.

Car has done well, no hiccups, excellent mpg when required & actually handles well. I came up behind an almost identical 172 Cup to my old one... not fast.

Looking forward to getting back to the UK now, leaving early doors tomorrow as I'm out tomorrow night.

Nice one mate!!! Glad you have had a good time there at least and that the car is still fine.

Surprised Clio 200 with those tires on it didn't put up a better showing.

I think they just lack the torque you need here with the hills.

Just downloaded a gps log of a trafficked lap, quite interesting (in a nerdy way)

Slow things
Clio's
Suzi Swifts on R888's
Scirroco's
MX5's
BMW's (of cooking variants)

Things I expected to be a lot faster, but weren't that much faster
Astra VXR, tuned, caged, R888's
Corvette C6

Things which made me look pedestrian
GT3's
GT2's
CSL's

Rear ARB works

Home now.... 450m+ tank - drove about last night in Nurburg for dinner, drove home the long way and from Dover to Portsmouth all on the same tank.

Got to decide which photo's I like, as a few pay sites have them - and although it's a bit of an ugly car front on, I quite like the pics!

 

[Damoegan]

Nice tripo action, Mark Rear ARB makes a big difference.. (think thats the one of the oics you need to get)

Great MPG, too. Wish I got half as good as that

 

[Blade]

What was your best time Mark?

 

[Syphon]

Not ugly front on. Looks lovely.

Great fuel economy. Top cars these Cupras.

 

[VRSLOZ]

So much fun I booked my next stay at the hotel on the way out... MX5 next time, as I have spare laps to use still.

How much do you spend doing it? Getting there, hotel, track time etc?

It's something I've always wanted to do!

Indeed

thats some impressive mpg was you driveing gently to get that sort of mpg?
i think the second pic is the one to pay for looks like a good action shot.
i expect the mx5 to do half aswell on mpg.
