looks like fun :y: but you can see that 172 pulling away nicely on the straights :) I think you would probably have owned him if you were driving his/her clio and they were in your VTS... what do you think?

nice cut on the chicane at 1:23 btw ;)

get that passenger out and you would have had him
70-90kgs? thats a big percentage weight added

I used to own a 172cup when they first came out then I got a 182 trophy and I now the saxo is quicker but this was my first session on Bedford and my lines were really bad!! I will try time permiting to upload the footage before i go on me hols of later in day when I catch and pass him! An being 2 up didn't help I'm nearly 18stone alone and me mates are nearly as fat as me lol

LOL-2 of you giants in it --you have just made your saxo same wieght as an evo 8--or added approx 25% to the car weight

chuck out the passenger ,cut off a leg or get another 30% bhp,then the car will go

I know lol, one more track day at combe in September the I will fit those Avon acb10's u sold me John then i should have even more grip and a slight improvement in acceleration as are 45 profile instead if the 50 profile off my Yokohama a409r on front and r888 on back which are way past the wear bar, should see the metal soon but only on one side Shane directional or could get another whole track day out of them lol!

[axsaxoman]

if you are running them to the death i woudn,t worry about the directional arrow on them ,the difference in grip is very little ,

Brilliant thanks will the Avon acb10 give even more grip?
