Default In car footage of the 3 Door from Loton Park at the weekend **Outside Video Now Too**

Didn't have the best weekend as I stripped 1st's syncro so wouldn't select 1st from a standstill but you could still get into 1st on the down change when you were moving.
This lead to 2nd 7k launches to get it of the line, still manged to light my 255 888's up tho lol
Here's my last and fastest run which placed me 5th out of 12, if i'd had 1st i'm pretty sure i'd have grabbed 4th but the top 3 were well out of reach.
A 996 GT3, R35 GTR and EVO 5RS respectively, and other 911 pipping me to 4th by 4 tenths of a second.

Had a couple of moments on that run too, got 2 wheels on the grass coming ot of Fletcher Dellow which is left hander before you drop to the down hill section and again into Muesum the blind right hander near the end when it tried to swap ends, it had just started to rain too.

So with all those excuse out the way have a watch, there will be some track side video of the run to follow too.

A BW 7670 EFR will help, can't strip it out due to rules in the Road Going Class.
And of course you can't beat experiance, Robert in the GT3 and Tony in the GTR have been Hillclimbing since Noah was a lad.
I'll keep developing it as far as I can until I feel I can't drive it any faster then a Single Seater might be calling.

The one on the left is Antilag I was just turning on and off for abit of crowd pleasing on the return back down the hill.

Cheers mate, it's better just to give it alittle bounce off the limiter than change up between corners.

I wouldn't mind a cage to be fair, I'll get one fitted at some point.
The GT3 weighs 1380kg standard but is probably alittle lighter as Robert has Magnesium wheels fitted.
The GTR weighs in at a whooping 1800kg but is remarkabley nimble as you can see.
