Just got the videos sorted from a trackday last month. Comparing the times to April 06 I can't believe I've dropped almost 2 seconds (in similar dry conditions) in just a few trackdays :eek:

Anyway, almost wiped out in damp conditions at Brands - check out end of the first vid below - thought you might like to see it for a laugh :) Note to self - dont use so much kerb in the wet!

Wet conditions:

lol - it wasn't that quick in the wet though- a race spec Mini and a Seat Leon Cup car went past me like I wasn't moving! 200s seem to have no traction when exiting corners (RWD/tail happy/no weight at back combo I guess).

HD stage 2 (running 13 psi on track so approx 250bhp), R33 GTR front brakes, apex 6/4 coilovers, WL anti roll bars, half road/trackday tyre (Bridgestone RE0070) and a few other little bits and bobs :)

Note to self - dont use so much kerb in the wet! (So all that driving round buckmore park in the cold and wet makes you worse on a trackday in the wet :confused: )

Good titel of thread! Nice vids.

If you havn't already, read the book 'Going Faster!' by Carl Lopez, it's the bible for track-drivers as Tsuchiya's Drift Bible is the bible for drifters.

It is and the brakes on it are superb - a must (at least) for any 200 imo.

Nice vids :thumbs:

Well held.
