You were doing pretty well there, especially with the weight of a passenger added.

Feel the Golf Powah!

BTW is your GoPro mount a shower curtain rail from Ikea?

Thanks did my best with extra weight... :whistle: :grin:

Yes IKEA! is da sh***t.... Worked awsome!. Thanks for the tip on this forum..



Glad I could help, another tip is when you get into the car and have your seat in the best position, recline it a little and put your belt on, then pull it sharply to get it to lock into position and while keeping hold of the belt move your seat back back up to the on track seat position so that the belt is really tight. It helps to hold you in in your seat when you don't have a harness fitted.

Yes the tip was great! Many people at the event was impressed.. :grin:. 5£ mount!

Smart with the belt!, i will try that!  :smiley:

  • GTI Clubsport

 :grin: :grin: I pushed like hell.......i think.. :sad:

Yes i think they are ok, but it is a lot of rubber from the track on them now....But hope it will go away   :grin:

Yours look like you had fun! ;). Clubsport?.. It was at Clubsport S on this trackday...It was fast... :wink:

I had 48PSI after the first stint!!, not good.. :angry:. Lowered to 40 PSI and it feelt great  :smiley:

Yes with the Clubsport, I shall upload the video but not here, don't want to hijack your thread! tires were squealing like pigs in the sausage cue  :grin:

Yep 48 psi is a lot. Always remember to drop a few psi's before lapping and you'll be fine.

Great video Wide!! It's amazing how capable these cars are when fitted with decent tyres and brake pads.

How were the oil temperatures?

Keep the videos coming.

Keep the videos coming.

Thanks!, i do my best. But don´t think a youtuber is my future  :grin:. I think i stick to be a engineer for income  :whistle: :grin:

But i will do to the point you don´t like it anymore..  :wink:

Yes with my aftermarket wheels and tires, a don´t need more speed. I have to train more instead in driving..  :grin:.

But i look at some R tires, because of the ware on my street tires that trackdays do... :smiley:

The oil temp is 106-108 C!, you can see that in my "virtual cockpit". And the Water is around 100C. So this is not higher than on normal road trip!!. That is nice!  :smiley:
