Congrats on the forums times .. but .. what the hell even is that Scirocco coming close to sub 9 seconds!! :surprised:
-
I done awful lol
-
I flopped, it was my first time and I forgot to turn the traction control off and didn't get the best launch, also I lost my drivers lisence photo ID card somewhere whilst getting my ticket for a go, then when I got to the line I was told I should have my arms covered so I had to borrow a marshals jumper. It was a pretty sh*t day for me, and with traffic took me 2 1/2 hours to get home.

You need long sleeve shirt to race down the strip?

Yep and legs covered also suitable footwear

The arms covered rule is stupid.... as is the 100% helmet rule

I have to agree on the arms covered rule. The helmet rule should really only apply to cars that do over 110mph terminals -like Santa Pod. Then again even 110mph terminals in most cars is just about 100% safe. :confused:

Bare in mind you can do 150+ on public roads and the last thing the police would mention is "wheres you helmet?" :signLOL:

:signLOL: but it would be a bit suspect driving a GTI about with a helmet on
-
It's pretty obvious though in a high speed crash a long sleeved shirt/ jumper would save your life.......

Absolutely - and if you wear something of quality, you are even more likely to come away uninjured. :driver:

What type of helmet do u need?can I just use a open face helmet?

I think as long as you had something that looked like a helmet, you were ok Dan. :smiley: plenty there with open face helmets that looked like the supplied ones.
