Post by: RENNTAG on February 03, 2013, 10:22:01 pm
Went to goodwood for a track day at the weekend. Was great fun, fast track. the NQSBBK worked well but struggled with the heat.

Here is a video. Apologies for the poor quality but my little brother also use this camera and has got his greasy fingers all over the lense  :fighting: (He is only 11)

Yeah was a great day. Bit of an atmosphere at goodwood as well.

Yes is a nice track, not alot of run off if you get it wrong but as long as your not trying to been a record that should not be a problem.

Going to try getting back there in the summer. They are a bit slow updating the website but I have got a list of dates for the year if your interested.

Have a look on the circuit diary Neil there may be something you can join.

I believe they do their own days.

Goodwood looks a nice circuit - Well marked out and not too boring.

I enjoyed the vid, bendy  :happy2: - DSG paddle extensions and car sound was good.

Nice one Neil.

That is tempting. I might not take the car on track but will come down to meet you Neil, and maybe sneak myself a passenger ride in your lovely GTI  :happy2:

If I have some funds available nearer the time and there is still space I could get on the afternoon or morning session

Thanks Robin. Yes really pleased with how the car is now, engine wise anyway. Could just do with better brakes and some stiffer arbs.
