OFFICIAL 1m 29.2secs for the 205 at DONNO today-with PICS
Had an awesome day today on track
Car was performing well on all sessions and one had one tiny little moment
Start of the day i was getting 1.32's but was getting quicker to the end of the day
On the final few sessions i was seeing 1.29's for 6 striaght laps
4TH gear flat out through Craner and hitting 110mph before hard breaking for the right hander
It is always a good day when you drive 55 mile to Donington......130mile HARD track miles......55mile home and the car is FINE

Was that the full circuit, isn't there a couple of options they do or something? i.e. different tracks or something?
But well done anyway! lol

Lovely car Tiff - always had a soft spot for 205's. Like the 1.6 GTi best - lovely balance 
RS500's were doing 1:22's @ Nat Day. Sketch was doing similar to ur times in Tony's RS1600i. With tony behind the wheel, i think u could take 3s off that That is an out and out rally car though, with some very trick bits

sore your little moment at redgate ,seems you handled it better than
the guy with yellow egg box a lap later as he really binned it.
car looked well but thought that noble just had the edge

Seen your motor today mate, looked good.
Your obviously carrying good speed through the corners.
There was a race spec Clio there that was doin some quick laps too.
One westy type thing stood out though, sounded like a bike engine, timed it at 1.16!!!

That's about the same time as I have done in my Golf on the National circuit.

1:28 if you take into account how the video goes spazzy through the chicane.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Awesome day as usual.
Marks handling of the Redgate incident was awesome- 2 wheels on the grass and the rumble strip sideways had me thinking we were digging in and going over but NO
Its certainly a lot different in the expert group but I felt we held our own in the little pug.
Had a review of the rest of the footage and theres some more good moments and also Tiff- More flames on the back straight into Godards. ACE!!!
I'm gonna buy a roll cage mount for next time.

But as Jake said, we are seeing 110 through craner and it takes some holding too with the dreaded 205 lift-off over steer
