Great day at the Pod. Lovely weather. Only did 16 runs in total. Got the hang of the car launch and shift points by the end of the day. A little different to launching on the road. I was avoiding the water for most of the day until Luke said it actually may help as I was getting too MUCH grip. After that my times dropped by another couple of tents of a second.

Fastest time was a 12.615 and the fastest time with a passenger was a 12.787.

The car still feels like it is held back by the torque limitation in the map and with an extra 40-50lbft should help drop the times more.

A few pics...list of runs (didn't pick up the last two runs which we're 12.62 and 12.63)









Fastest 0-100

Yep, his best of the day was a 13.6. Not too shabby for a 1.4. :cool:

To put his 13.6 into perspective another guy was there with a manual MKVI GTI with APR stage 3 on it and did a fastest time of 13.8.

Best I managed was a 12.8, I struggled to get going all day for whatever reason, hardly ever felt like I hit full boost, but I know you were struggling while I was there also, but I was at least 4-5mph down on terminal speeds from last time I was there:
 Good day tho just a horrible early start,
 
 Track day next time, somewhere with nice run offs so I don't total myself :)
