My MKVI Golf R at Santa Pod - Videos.

[Hurdy]

Today I visited the Pod for the first time since having the GIAC maps and WMI on and this was the result.....

Thanks for the vids Luke

It was a bad day for trying to set any records. I'm glad I left the race fuel at home for the day and just ran the V-Power and WMI for a baseline. Best run of the day was a 12.3038 with a 1.7741 sixty foot time, the terminal should have been somewhere between 108 & 109mph, but something blew past one of the speed sensors and bagged me a 130.67mph terminal instead!. The car was full weight including over half a tank of fuel, another 5 litres of water to clean the car, 2 helmets, various cleaning stuff and all Luke's videoing stuff plus his rucksack. The headwind was atrocious and knocked a little off my times and also just happened to be the hottest day of the year to date!

All in all I'm happy with how the car performed apart from it felt a little slow at the top end which I now suspect to be mainly the headwind.

That makes my R the second fastest K04 Golf R in the country at the moment on the 1/4 mile and only by 0.03 seconds......damn that headwind!

Amazing!  You must be chuffed with that.  I doubt it will be long before you claim that top spot

Yes that GTI gave that R a good roasting....

Yep, I was relatively happy, just wish I could have cut another 0.1 off

Very interesting to see how smooth the gear-changes are on a DSG in videos like that...regretting not hunting a little harder for a GTD DSG now!
