    Just be aware with that level of grip, you might start bending lower / steering arms. If the steering wheel doesn't come back to where it should be driving in a straight line, after some full on hard cornering, you'll know what's happened.

    Now that giving it some in the corner...
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    All you need do now is drop the back to avoid that.

    Would you consider slimmer at the rear?

    Trackday in Anneau du Rhin

    Start was thursday evening at a gas station. First thing to do: fill every car


    After that me and my mate went to the "Anneau du Rhin" Racetrack in France


    Because the trackday was on the following day we camped the night outside the track


    Next morning i started the day by setting up the gopros


    and adjusting the front view


    After the gates opened we had to unload our cars. Fortunately we found a nice shady place because the weather forecast announced up to 36°.


    my mates and my car side by side. we waited a long time got take this picture!

    how come you run front tow at 0? have you tried tow out? we run vxr race cars at 2 total tow out so the leading wheel help pull the car round the corner. would highly recommend plated diff, makes the quaife diff feel crap after having a plated diff. when you watch the car in a video from behind it looks like its 4wd where the diff drags the car round the corner and the grip levels are unreal. we are running 300hp and 340lb torque people say i bet that wheels spins out of the corners with that diff it just grips, and the slicks help as well

    After a short briefing and two warm-up laps we could get cracking.
    It was open pitlane, we were allowed to drive as much as we wanted from 9:00-12:00 and 13:00-17:00


    1. Drive

    I began slowly, get the tires to temperature. At least i knew the track from playing computer games so i knew how to get along.



    2. Drive

    Slowly, the advantages and disadvantages of the Corsa showed. Advantage is certainly the grip in the corners, the chassis and the steering geometry let the car drive like on rails through the tight curves. On the straights performance could be better
    At about 2min50 I get some dust thrown in my face for tailgating



    3. Drive

    Short ride with ugly end. Before lunch we decided to do a few laps.
    Unfortunately my mates luck ran out and a rose joint broke during braking on a curve and the wheel pushed itself into the wheelarch i was shocked as you can hear at the end of the video...



    Our lunch brake included load the broken car on the trailer...

    ...so afternoon, i had to get alone on the track.


    Unfortunately, as so often with me on the fourth run i forgot to turn on the camera

    5. Drive

    At the last trip I dared myself to the limit ... although I must admit that the limit of my strenght is the first thats reached



    and similar to the vid above here's me driving
