Volkswagen & Audi Track Day - 16th July 2011
vRStu:
I had a great day there too, thanks to all involved.
The turnout was surprisingly good in the afternoon given the weather so that was nice to see and as it brightened up a fair few stayed right till the end.
I had a few laps out in the JKM Octy with Nick piloting and in the Milltek R, I'm sure the driver plays a huge part in the proceedings (and Nick is excellent) but the Octy just blew away the Golf at every opportunity which given the Golf's mechanical advantage and the conditions was a little surprising.

Gutted i missed this, but 3 and a half hrs is a long trek just for a cple of dry hrs in the afternoon and a lot of money on fuel etc.. Plus I really wanted my seats and harnesses which I am now getting Tuesday Wednesday next week, so will hopefully get them sorted then next week depending when I can get time and kev can fit me in to fit them. Were you running any decent tyres in the wet Steve or nothing special? Neil were you on the R1Rs and if so how did they fair?

Spooky! I'm thinking along these lines at the moment after pricing up my mod list required to properly track the '30....
chungster:
Exactly. It makes sense and just use the '30 for Ring/Euro trips. :happy2:

Geordie, I had my spare wheels with 888's and could have used them on the last few session but kept the R1R's on, definitely didnt feel the same grip when hot but OK in the wet, although set up is a bit hard for wet track. :happy2:
