How was it on the track then?

BTW, did you get those KAWs fitted or not?

Sorry if im not writing so good in your language but il try as good as i can.

The trackday was very fun with my GTI.It was very good in the corners,not to soft.Out of the sharper corners it was some wheelspin out of it ,but in good control.Brakes was not fading any time for me,so they were ok for every 20 minutes race i did on the track,i did 3 20 mitutes race totaly.The only thing that give up was the tyres,so next time it will be on track tyres from michelin,pilot sport cup.So over all it was very good for beeing a standard roadcar,if we can call it so the GTI . Il recomend you all to take your GTI to a track some day and try what it can perform,it will perform better and much more than you think.

Regards wolfie

Nice photos, wolfbane :smiley: and nice looking circuit.

Aftermarket suspension mods, especially anti-roll bars, will make a big difference to handling. Bigger brakes will also potentially improve your lap times significantly. Keep it smooooth :cool:

Don't forget to leave your handbrake off after a track session!
