Another track day video at Oulton Park - 27/05/2014

[Robin]

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.

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?

[Yoof]

*cough* It's a 328i *cough*

Good work though rocket 

It seems to get dirtier each time- are you competing with Boni?

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.

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...............
