Calling all Octavia "big boys" circa. 200bhp
I'll be leaving the airfield on Jan 20th for good so before then we really need to find someone who can beat Mr standard WRX.

Bengie and I have both tried and failed by a considerable margin.

We need someone to claim the crown for Briskoda.

Any of you 200bhp+ gang available on a weekday lunchtime before Jan 20th?

You can have it, but you'll have one shot before the clutch melts again...wait till my new one is in...the thing is I already know mine is quicker than a wrx on cornering and braking...accel is still close.

I'm starting to wonder if I should have this thread renamed "circa 250bhp"

Phil, it strikes me that some people might want to know what the runoff is. Gravel?

Re: Calling all Octavia "big boys" circa. 200bhp
Runoff? Whats that?

It is a straight line with a barbed wire fence at one end (just over a blind crest) and farm equipment at the other end (clearly visible from a mile and a half off.) Down each side is grass.

There is a clear braking point going each way and I always get people to do a slow(er) drive first.

No, luckily I went on quite a time before you, and I got a full couple of laps. Anyway, to wrench myself back on topic, if you beat Mr Standard WRX, I promise never to mention it again
