Default The car went REALLY well on track! *PICS*

I was very very surprised with how well the car did at donno today, the ONLY issus i had with the car was the brakes fading like fook... apart from that it did REALLY well used a FULL tank of petrol tho

only thing that was passing me was a V8 XR4i (that was lapping everyone ) a yellow XR2 (demon tweeks stickers, maga-spec 1600 cvh, made of helium ) and a saph that BLATANTLY had 300+hp

i went out in the novice sessions as... well... i'm a novice! and glad i did as there wasnt anyone out there driving like a wanker

passed the noise tests fine too oh and as for the slight "moment" coming into the pit straight... I MEANT TO DO IT! (i really did )

Thank you Donnington and Thank you RSOC for a great day


*UPDATE* got the pics now theyve been resized a LOT as they're HUGE!!!

As I said at Donny Jim, your car was MUCH better than I expected (well I did see some of your previous cars )

Sounded great, looked really tidy and straight and went very well on track although some of your racing lines were as bad as mine

It was going round quicker than a lot of the cossies as well! Now you will be addicted to trackdays

P.S. got some good pics

P.P.S PMSL at you missing your sessions not knowing what group you were in

I wouldnt have said that mate,
That xr4i and mk5 fiesta racecar where driving far too aggressive and pushing people very dangerously

I had a few issues with some gits that wouldnt let me past even though i was out braking and cornering them

Nice one Jim, the amount of cash you spent on that suspension it bloody well fucking go well

Not having a turbo that needed to spool up probably helped too
