Sorry Jake, Fuscobal was taking the picture.

But, you will find a picture of him on another Hring trip:

He is the guy to the right.

And here is the video with my best lap for this visit (2:23.71)



Just like above a few words about it:
- as I said above you will again notice that I am having problems with my shirt (the reason is stated above).
- the cars that you may see in action in this video are (you might not be able so see them properly because of the video quality):
* Evo X
* BMW 745i (he was all over the place)
* S2000
* the white STI (GC) that managed a 2.03 best lap (WTCC's fastest lap was 1.56)
* my friend with his white Skoda vRS Stage 3
* my friend with his white Civic Type R: I waited for him when the session began because we both wanted to see how are cars compared. His best lap was ~2.24 the last time and since than we had a brake upgrade, 20bhp more and semislicks. After about 3/4 of a lap I realized that he was faster than me so I signaled left and let him pass. After that I tried to stay close to him but he was about 1.5 seconds faster than me. His best lap was 2:22.2. I overtook him at one point because we lost his brakes. Believe it or not, he managed to use a brand new OEM pad in 100 km. During 4 sessions (to be correct more like 3, maybe 3 and a half) we went through 2 sets of front pad (one brand new, and one with 7-8mm pad remaining). He used them all till he got to the bare metal.
* a honda NSX (compresor, bbk, slicks, etc) a really nice car that overtook me in the same time with the Civic.
* the Golf 1 Diesel again
* a very nice subaru wrx sti
* a acura NSX (without the compresor, without the bbk, but with slicks); also a very nice car
* another WRX STI (GC)
* my friend (fuscobal) in his Stage 3 GTI on a cool down lap (because of his overheating problem).

P.S. Sorry for the sound but I have the windows opened and the air ventilation to the max.

Enjoy  :drinking:

I will bore you with yet another Hungaroring film.
This time it is made by one of my friends. To be more specific it is made by Edi, the guy with the white Civic Type R (FN2). He has ~220 bhp, a LSD, Kumho v70a and a brake upgrade.
This is the exact same session as the film above (where I am waiting for my friend and than try to see which is faster)



And like the usual, a few words about this film:
- this is a better quality video so you are able to better see the beautiful cars that participated at this track day
- you will see some great driving (from my friends part)
and regarding my car:
- this was a very sad film to watch for me... I realized that I am quite slow  :surprised:. You can hear on the video that my friend has to release the gas pedal not to run into me.  It is again very clear that I need more power  :chicken:.
- you can clearly see the difference in power when he is overtaking me. At that point I am full throttle.
- ooohhh and one more thing, if you look closely you might just be able to see some body roll  :grin:

Enjoy!

P.S. The comments are in Romanian but you will understand the names of the cars involved.  :drinking:

No question the Type R is faster than a 1.4 TSI. And it sounds great.
Guess it it is also way more lightweight than your Golf.

But in the beginning he had some difficulties to choose the right line
in the corners.

 :wink:

rex:
Yes, the bruce, you are right, as usual  :happy2:
The civic has about the same weight as mine but he took the rear seats out so we should have been lighter (not by much, thought).
