Default Vid from SantaPod today

Well, its half midnight, but you get me.

Norris Evo, that 10sec Mk2 FWD golf, etc.

Look how bloody fast that golf launches! And its FWD!

Norris Evo launches are insane! Got to love the way that R32 fucks off down the track too, the way they launch is what made me fall in love with GTRs (big mistake )

Cool vid

Anyone know what causes the Norris car to go left on the launch? (Apart from the fact it's a trillion bhp? )

edit - found this whilst searching for other stuff

https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...=asc&start=114

"Was chatting to Simon at the Pod and he was also slatting his front diff. He said it always lights up the front left wheel and he finds it really really hard to keep in a straight line. So he has a few ideas for improving that as well. Yeah on the clutch front he said he was kicking himself as he only had a part worn one to put in. "

TeamGirounit - James Hodson's Golf is a 1.8T - bigger turbo etc - I don't know the current full spec.

Just found this scan - bit hard to read, but if you squint.....

On that video you can clearly see the steering turn to the left on Simons car, perhaps he needs some sort of damper on the steering for drag use?

Fookin hell !

Respect to all those cars, fwd Golf is insane.

Simon is seriously brave as it looks like the car is going steer itself into the wall on most of the runs

Cannot wait to see Martoons car being launched in anger like that

It is. (despite what the vid says)

And trust me, jacked up and slicks isnt the only reason it launches like that, countless FWD cars have tried that over the years in the UK and they dont usually cane off like that

I'll tell you what makes that launch that well Stavros

The proper tyres he is using

No doubt it has a few more tricks geometry wise but the main ingredient is those tyres.

A Plate lsd is better suited to drag racing, ATB's tend to make the car twitch from side to side.

Having your tracking and camber set for straight lines only will make a hell of a difference too, zero give in the front end I expect also makes a difference

I appreciate its mega fast but he is one of few that I know that can actually be bothered to set it up properly with proper tyres.

Gary and Andys purple corsa is as basic as they come setup wise but has some serious power under the bonnet, 130mph pass from a non turbo is mental.

I'll dig the video out of my mates 11 sec run in his nova and a: you will see why road tyres are shocking and b: why atb's aren't best suited to drag racing even at 120 its trying to steer itself into the next lane
