Default Did another track day at Oulton Park

Did another track day at Oulton Park on Tuesday and found this video on YouTube uploaded by a guy driving a BMW.

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.

Love watching your videos Robin. Small light cars with alot of power are unbeatable on track.

You are much quicker through the corners, even though his technique is a bit scruffy (like mine) at times it looks effortless as you pull away

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