Yes thanks Asker, had a good day out. Stayed nice and dry.
No sign of MrP.
Will borrow a cable locally though.

Some nice Audis there, a few mk6 GTIs and lots of good track action.
A7s are fugly. Nearly all big Audis look identical, much prefer VWs to Audis.
Tired. Need sleep.


I went to this and had extensive track action,  great atmosphere.  I was in a Grey 3 door mark 6 and spent most of my day either on track or on the Milltek stand.  I was really impressed with the Mk6 handling but more specifically the AP racing BBK which performed flawlessly throughout

I saw your car plenty of times Spin (pretty apt name for a trackday warrior!!), very nice looking car and seemed pretty rapid on track.
What other mods do you have as apart from the exhaust and brakes? I'm guessing stage 2 software and suspension mods?

Here's a pic of your car on track taken by Hedge from this thread http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,35950.0.html (hopefully he won't mind me borrowing it!!)

Great pic thanks for that!
I have stage 2+ revo software and an ITG intake but no suspension mods,  this was this cars first outing so was pleasantly surprised with how sorted the GTi chasis is,  car felt strong all day long and good for the claimed 275bhp.  A happy return to GTi ownership after 5 years :)

It looked pretty good going into the corners for a standard road car. You can obviously quickly spot the cars with track day set ups as they hardly roll at all through the bends but your mk6 looked comfortable enough through the chicanes. I'm surprised its 100% stock. You must be a good driver!!  :laugh:

The car felt much firmer than I expected it to,  but always difficult to tell as I don't really push it off track so it gets a gentle pampering for the majorityof its use.

I was running a set of Monzas off E-bay with my old Bridgestones on so was more than happy to use the kerbs in an attempt to take the straightest/shortest route through the twisty bits. :evil:

Prior to the event I was planning on fitting an uprated rear ARB but for now I'm leaving it standard,  I have another outing planned on November 4th at Oulton park where I've been several times before in either quattro or RWD cars so this will be a good test bed for the GTi's handling. :grin:

Going from the number plate I'm guessing an S4 was amongst your quattros.  :smiley:
Combe is a very quick circuit though so it will be interesting how you get on with other tracks. Keep us informed!!
