If it wasn't for years of practice sliding around in my 3 door and rwd nova which both handle terrible I'd have stood no chance of catching it. Lol
The new engine that me and mike from Mwm built for porkies car has really given it some go, it's surprising how much pace it has really even when compared to my turbo one. And then the fact his is so much better through the bends meant if he wanted to he could have been lapping quite a few seconds quicker than me on the day, he just held back a bit so he could chase me round and film it.
Only place you can see the power difference really is coming out of quarry, he takes the bend quicker than me and is gaining on me then mine manages to undo that speed differential and then start to pull away a bit.
We reckon in the dry over a whole lap once my steering is sorted out there won't be much in it over a lap.
I'm sure we'll be at another day together soon so I will get another video up when we do so
good to see the video showing the moderate performance difference between the two, as Lee said, it would be interesting to see how that compared to a bone dry track session.

On a dry day where they can open it up more I think they will be gettin black flagged for noise, will need to be silenced on the screamer piper or fed back into the main exhaust.
So quick though, was making my turbo Clio look slow when they booted it out of camp.

Great day yesterday lots of overtaking on track, some people track manors were shocking ESP a red mx5, which was just bonkers
Funny watching all the cars trying to get grip
All three pigs run faultless all day
Was nice to catch up with a few new faces too

get yourself some clear track if you want to put a show on 
Did notice after dinner a few people got caught up in the moment of the MK2 drifting but came up well short when they tried.
Noticed a lad in what looked like a base model Fiesta plod round all day at his own pace, stayed out of everyone's way and still had as much fun
proper track etiquette.

Spiky your car looked awesome going round mate could deffo tell you had wets on 
perfect track car in my opinion, not too much power and looked like it handled great in the wet, just out of interest who owned the mk5 escort in magenta, he was going well and passed the white Subaru in the pissing down wet, looked quick??

That was one wet weekend.
First session I struggled and drifted round camp into a spin.
2nd session car was flying though until 4th lap we hit a damp patch and went grass cutting
After that it rained more and I called it a day.
Need some Dunlop wets !!

Indeed!
Was slow as hell over a whole lap, but that was blatantly just a combination of taking it steady and the terrible conditions, when its used in anger its going to be utterly mental judging by how well it goes in the couple of places he did give it a bootfull.
EPIC car, I properly love it!
