Did another track day at Oulton Park on Tuesday and found this video on YouTube uploaded by a guy driving an M3.
Video is 3 videos merged into 1 - at the mid point of the video I am behind him and he lets me through on the pit straight.

I will upload some of my own videos up later on.
The polo was running well again and fastest lap was 2:02 which is the same as the previous couple of track days so I am at the limit of my talent - I think with some better talent behind the wheel it can do a sub 2 minute lap. My friend in a crx with 165bhp was doing 2:15 so the polo ain't too shabby.

A few pictures.

Absolutely awesome!! Looks like such a rush!! Is this the one I was going to go to? Sorry I didn't, going to Wales the end of the month so money was tight :/ I will definitely be tagging along next year mate when car is fully sorted
Epic driving too dude. :)
-
Looks so fast from the m3's view and just appears to stick around the corners, is it quite a handful to control?
-
*cough* It's a 328i *cough*
Good work though rocket ;D
It seems to get dirtier each time- are you competing with Boni? :P
-
In car video from the afternoon.

thats a f'ing quick 328i!!!

Your times much different with the 2nd person in?

Yeah i was about 4 seconds slower with a passenger.

I wouldn't say that its easy to drive, i need to have the alignment sorted out to get it to handle a bit better as its not ideal at the moment.
Its predictable enough to play with the throttle through corners.

Time for some tuition to break the 2 min barrier?
Car looks cool, rugged!
What sort of front spring rate are you running now, looks like there is quite a bit of roll in some of the photos...maybe a little too much (I don't know?)

I had some tuition last time and (not being cocky) i didn't really gain that much from it. I think i could do with the car setting up a bit better alignment wise to get the car to handle a bit better and maybe i can hit the sub 2 minutes.
The fronts are running 375lb and the rear is running 250lb's.
I didn't suffer from much understeer once the slicks had warmed up so it loaded the front end up lots when cornering.

2nd Video
http://youtu.be/ZbRAh8k5hZs part 1 - about 6mins into the video is where start to see the 328i and catch him up pretty quickly.

Video 4
About 8:30mins into the video i manage to catch up with a blue EVO 6 - spoke to the owner afterwards and was told its running 420bhp and was on slicks - don't think it was driven to it maximum potential...............

G40 Cup was a 1:59, same layout?
-
I think they used to run Island, so different layout (2.26 miles) International is 2.7 (ish)
Robin's car should be a fair amount quicker than a cup car! +60-80bhp on one, and a better chassis/suspension setup ;D
-
Yeah I thought that, assumed he'd be travelling some extra distance to explain the time difference. Cracking circuit, corner 2 looks terrifying though.
-
The 2nd corner cascades is a very tricky corner as it's off camber - I locked up a few times braking into that corner as i carried in too much speed.
