BEP51 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Show and shine -There are trophies to be won, for first, second and third places.Entries can also be accepted on the day, up until 12 noon. Awards will be presented at 4 pmOur r32 is prepped as best as possible in the yard this morning, still needs loads of cleaning imo but weather didnt permit, will still enter tho, my track pass arrived for my lupo today, would be great if someone wanted to record a lap time for me to see how mine compares to trucido's track version!

Matt_Matt Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Disappointed with the turn out. Only a handful of Lupo's and I didn't see any on the track when we were out. Although that does include my own as it was defiantly not track worthy. I was hoping to see a few Gti's running to see how they run/handle themselves on the track. Considering a change from the Sdi to the Gti but I may go for a Fabia Vrs (tdi) now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Couldn't justify taking mine out for £40 a go. I would've liked to go out but normally I get track time on an action day for £25 so would have 3 sessions or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering a change from the Sdi to the Gti but I may go for a Fabia Vrs (tdi) now.Took my sport out for one morning session, first time on the track so my dad insisted that the instructor came out with me, but tbh he was more hindrance than help, mainly cos he made me reposition the steering wheel and my seat and then stole the rear view mirror from me so i felt blind! Had to go slowly on the straights to listen to what the guy was saying, The car went nicely tho, very very slippy tho - oversteer into corners and understeer out almost every time, ABS was coming in constantly. then i got black flagged as somebody told the marshals i was driving on a provisional wtf!?!? then they let me out again after i corrected them...Show and shone the R32 but forgot to get a blue hanger for the rear view mirror to say we entered so dont know if we missed out on a few votes - tho it was near impossible to clean the car in the rain.Going to be doing a full trackday by myself there as a graduation present in september, also doing a hillclimb near Plymouth in august.Hopefully next time im out at combe it will be dry so that I can give it hell and see what it can really do! - will probably have removed the front helper springs by september to stiffen up the front a bit to try and postpone the oversteer a bit and hopefully corner a bit quicker!
