There's another R32 further down the list (1.33.2).  I'm guessing that's the Mk4 one?? :undecided:

Anyway, it's a small track, so if you don't finish within 20 seconds of that time, you shouldn't be on the road! :P  :D

i shouldn't be on the road full stop!!!!  :grin:

I was trying to err on the side of caution as i don't want to look like billy big dick saying i'm gonna hand it to the stig on his home turf (i never said i wasn't thinking it  :grin:) well i'm near as damit 100bhp down on the r32. Gonna be interesting seeing how it fairs though - buzzing my head off already  :laugh:

And i'm gonna have a sticker that is even more cool than the nurembergring ones  :cool:

run higher tyre pressures, don't know exactly how much higher but if normally you run 32psi then I'd run 35/36.

i think tyer pressure massivly depend on the tyers and car.

it vastly depends on the track day as well, at bovvy i was running very high pressures as it was short frequent  sessions,  if you see the tyer wall getting scuffed  up the pressure a bit.   main tyer realted issue i've found is the tyers getting to hot towards the end of a session

After lots of heavy braking don't sit on the brakes as you will warp them.
