| Well i was invited by Chip Tuning Ltd to compeate in this GP. I was in a diesel class which is thankful because there were some real monsters going around the track. But i did myself, chiptuning and Skoda proud i think. I managed to win the sprint challenge with a 6.6 0-60 mph and a 15.2 1/4 mile but with no terminal speed but I guess it was somewhere between 90-100 mph. As for the track times, I managed a 1'34.RICA is a fantastic remap. I had 5 different people comment on how quick the car was and also how little it smoked compared to maps they had experienced ! ![]() FABIA |

| It was not that well advertised i have to say. So it did seem quiet although there may have been 1000 people there - maybe more ? Can't wait to tackle Donnington again ! |

| Eibachs were sweet on the track, although I need to tweak the brakes I think and sort out my turn in. I think uprated shocks would help - but she did very well indeed. Overall my car wasn't the fastest around the track, but I raced a BMW Hartge H1 [1 series] with a 450hp 5.0 V8 M5 engine and it wasn't that much quicker, certainly not 250hp quicker. I also let a Clio 182 pass me that I thought was supercharged - but I stayed with him all the way down the back straight - he was so desperate to get away from me I think he did some late braking - but it was too late and spitting lots of flames he overshot the bend - lol and ended up back behind me ![]() Chip Tuning took their Volvo V70 T5 round. Although it was a lardy P2 estate it was 300 WHP and I was slightly quicker most of the time, although in the end he beat me by 0.? Of a second ![]() Lots of people were impressed and I had to take 5 people out on passenger rides (1 at a time) as no one could believe it could chase fire spitting monsters in a straight line ??? Anyway - much enjoyed, people should defiantly try it if they haven't already. |
