Post by: WhiteGTI on July 03, 2009, 08:46:29 pm: Stunning car, and you've got the best colour! I went to the Alpine Renault Sport factory a couple of years ago and saw the R26's being made down the production line. Brilliant!

ill correct that....that is a beautiful colour and does not need detailing!

sorry...i really didnt want it to sound like that. its true tho, it looks awesome after a detail.

same goes for the Clio 182s in black. they have a fabulous gold flake! ;)

There is no way you can do a 8 minute 30sec run. If you film with your ipod and show me that time i will show my arse at the next meet. :innocent:
Title: Re: frenchie
Post by: jhtrophy on July 09, 2009, 07:25:06 pm: dont see why not mate, 8min 50 in the clio few times, how do i ipod it? im talking bridge to gantry here, thats not the full lap as the official times are..
Title: Re: frenchie
Post by: Top Cat on July 09, 2009, 07:30:26 pm: I reckon 9 minutes could be possible if you knew every bend but you would need some exotica and serious talent to knock 30 more seconds off that time. Greenouse and PG where not hanging about i can assure you and i dont think they got lower than 9: 40.
Show me the evidence and i will gladly take my hat off to you and call you sir from then on. :happy2:
Title: Re: frenchie
Post by: jhtrophy on July 09, 2009, 07:35:56 pm: dont get the big deal mate, its not my first time!! :signLOL: i did an 8 50 in the clio, i know lads who have done faster in standard 182 cups, clarkson did 10 in a diesel and was very slow when you watch it!!! i k now a lad who did an 7min 20 in an m3!!! exotica, dont need that fella. check nout bridge to gantry .com some 6s on there
Title: Re: frenchie
Post by: jhtrophy on July 09, 2009, 08:25:52 pm: the lap record for an r26 r( full lap a good 30 sec longer) is 8min 17 so 7min 50 ish BTG, with all due respect to greenhouse i think it was his first time? lol, you know what i mean, dont like to be called a lier, 8min 50 in trophy with some to give.
Title: Re: frenchie
Post by: Top Cat on July 09, 2009, 08:34:09 pm: I am only judging it on what i saw Greenouse and PG do. 1 minute 15 seconds faster is a massive chunk.
And i am not calling you a liar i just dont believe it. :grin:

As i say show me a filmed lap of you doing it and i will take my hat off to you and have the utmost respect for you until my dying day. :happy2:

TC, this is a sub 9 minute BTG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmI57FGDVUw&feature=related) in a normal MKV GTI like ours, it's a bit aggressive but his lines are nice. Note also that he slows for road works at the mini carousel - someone with knowledge of the track could get a lighter, LSD'd Megane round there faster, no problems.

You can scream around the bends like a pro and feel like you're giving it everything you have, but unless you know where to keep your foot in and carry speed, you'll lose time, and over that kind of distance, it all adds up.
