Title: Blyton Park- Lots of G40s on Track :)
Post by: Yoof on August 18, 2011, 06:54:31 pm

Finally got some vids from Blyton, firstly please excuse the scrubbing (mute your PC!) and secondly, I do realise I can't drive- in my defence this is the first time in 2 years I've driven a plate diff, 215bhp+ Polo!

So, first off- mr spin:

Out with Sam- Overtake Carrera 4s, and an Elise/Exige- once the blue RX7 finally moves out the way!

What was supposedly a cool down, then turned into a race with my mate Mark from work:

He's the one in this AX:

AX is fast, not much power but slicks and a driver who isn't shy!

And finally a session with Alex:

Loving the 4th pic. Some good rear tyre lift and the front is pretty low there too!

Just tried your vids and there not loading the page properly?

Great to see the car back in action Pete. It looks to be going really well in its latest guise.
What I like is the fact that as heavily modified as this car is, it still looks like a normal Polo on the outside and retains the original interior (bar the front seats) and dashboard etc.
Sure, you could completely strip everything out and so on to make it lighter, fit wide arches so as to get some very wide slicks on etc but then it takes away the character of the original shopping car that a Polo is.
Superb just as it is Pete, surely a benchmark high performance Polo for us all to drool over.

He made me think I was going to do a sick up at one point. Its bloody quick and the difference in the traction and power he can get down compared to my car was stark. Its a good advert for PPP stuff, just need some funds now.

Just enjoyed watching the videos, have always seen this car as a benchmark for all polos. I do even more so now looked blistering!

Great vids there. Well done for posting them up.
I really can't believe how much body roll these have. I will have to get mine on track someday but it's totally stock and I really want to keep it that way. I don't think it would be any good stock would it?
That AX is going well, some good driving there.
