My MK2 Golf 16VT at Rockingham vs Gurds in his MK1 16VT

I did admit to Gurds he was quicker than me in certain parts though.








You know, the straight bits that just need you to press your right foot to the floor...






Heck, I wouldn`t be surprised if he didn`t add some Aero now.

 

When are you going to man up and shove 1.5 bar through it then Gurds

I do agree though, mine is better to drive on low boost. less dramatic, slightly slower, but far more enjoyable and smoother.

 

Nice video that, looks like a good day for it considering the randomness of recent weather

Quite fond of both yours and Gurds' cars too to be honest

What happened with the rest of the aero gubbins, do you still use the lot usually or is just the splitter the new favoured approach to it?

 

I finished mapping the car a few hours before leaving for Rockingham, I simply didn`t have time to refit it all. I had a very` testing` week getting it running, even broke down and had to be towed home !

Splitter is easy to fit, the rest less so. I`m running the diffuser at Bedford, but not the Flat Floor. I need to ensure heat isn`t an issue before I add that.

I`d really like to run it all, the car certainly feels more stable with it, but I need to ensure it`s reliable and I`m ontop of the heat management first

 

As Henry said "Chassis > Power" !

 

DRIVING > Chassis+Power

 

Many thanks for the reply Nige and once again nice video, nice driving and nice car

 

Chassis is now sorted, tracking was out. I'll sort the driving out lol


Gurds

 

Brilliant cars you both have. I noticed when you passed the porsche, about 2 3rds the way through the vid, after coming out of a hard right, the porsche looked like it nearly lossed it! Spotted it in your rear view lol
