Don't expect anything special, if anything all this video does is highlights just how rubbish my driving was on saturday....... :o

The little 'moment' at 9:10 was where I noticed my stupid water temp, hence coming off straight after.

Google video I'm afraid

Vid is actually 9:30 long, but my mate messed up with the editing so you see the last half of the video again, and apologies for the poor sound and dodgy camera angle.

What was in that fiesta?. Bloomin eck, looked quite quick (as did the scoobs).

I don't think your driving was that bad tbh dude :D .

God knows what was in that fiesta, but it was damn quick. When I say my driving sucked, I mean that I wasn't at the cars limits in the bends, I'm sure it has a lot more in it.
 
OK, from what I can find here , max speed in fourth is 144mph, I assume that is at the 8k redline so what would that make ~7.5k?

Drexel That car of yours drives like it looks :D Me want

Edit: Those pictures you posted the other day showed how flat the car stayed through the bends, the video is even better, there are a lot of cars rolling through that last corner in particular but yours stays as firm as anything, seems to out handle just about everyone.

Nice work my friend.

Assuming it's a linear curve ;)

A gearbox is a ratio, its linear.

Nice vid Drexel, car certainly has some power. Can see the car has a lot more in it. Your braking certainly seem early to me :)
 
Hey Drexel

Gotta agree with everyone that your car corners so flat, I think there is far more scope and with time you can push it quicker round the corners when you feel easy to do so.

Drexel you have a seriously fast car and the way those Subaru's and that Fiesta flew past, was well kinda scary they will either pro drivers who know that track or they had some serious horse power under their bonnets.

It makes me wonder though about that Fiesta, surely it could not be hugely powerful so am assuming it must just weigh nothing, does anybody know what it is?
 
With the fiesta I'd say its probably a turbo'd engine of some sort and the car will have been stripped out. Power to weight would make it pretty quick I think.
 
Cool vid Drexel. Your driving is alright, I think you need to push it harder next time and find the limits of your car. But 363bhpthro the rear wheels is a lot to control!! Those scoobs were fast, and that fiesta must have shocked a few people!

It was obvious he wasn't on the limit of grip, those Scoobys and the fiesta simply had a lot more corner exit speed. You don't always need a fast car to go fast around a track.

Yeah I know that but they did seem to carry on accelerating away so they certainly were not slow and that Fiesta was certainly something special. :)
