I think somebody needs to start looking into making some.....

Looks like a wee doggy cocking its leg!

djtez

surprised more the fact that it gripped enough you lift its back leg that high :O

That front driver's side tyre is looking a bit pressured. Ba-dum ching

Yoof

I see your tripod, and raise you, a double tripod  :D


djtez

Must be gripping very well there!

That AX is cool also :P

what engine is in there, reason i ask is because its behind you

IIRC Pete said it was a virtually standard engine car but running sorted chassis and slicks. The driver was an absolute demon though and more than made up for the lack of power.

The AX has a 1.6 VTS engine in there with an aftermarket exhaust and a few other odds and ends but no FI, Marc who owns it said it produces about 140-145bhp but it does weigh around 600kg and as someone has said he is a VERY good driver!

After watching those videos from the AX perspective and Yoofs, that AX needs some work to stop the understeer. So much more than yoofs! Looked like he enjoyed the limit and beyond too much haha

Yoof

He's just fitted a LSD, and says it backs into corners alot more now, it's an impressive package and proves that power isn't everything, on a small track like Blyton he certainly gave me a run for my money, our last session with no traffic were epic, unfortunately they're not on video.

I'm looking forward to this year at Blyton, get to try some proper slicks  :) (and Marc is joining us in his AX  ;D)

That's the vid filmed from the AX, watch from 10min in.

Also AX was on formula student slicks, which I know go off after a few laps as the car is probably double the weight of a FS car, that said when it does grip it's sweet!

The polo felt a bit soggy on the track, i needed loads of stiffening up. Perfect engine, shoddy chassis.
