Just from what i have read and watched. I did test drive 1 once never went fast round any bends though but i remember having to hold it at around 7000rpm in 3rd to have the power to overtake a lorry on the a17

Personally I couldn't see my Remapped Fabia VRS being very good around a tight track at all! The Torque band is so narrow it makes trying to accelerate around a tight roundabout quickly and smoothly a nightmare. You just can't be smooth, I find it best to rev it more to stay away from the 300lb's ft torque at 1500rpm
Around somewhere like Combe though it may be ok... Will have to venture out and give it a try...

It's from the best motoring international... It's that bloke ... the 'drift king' bloke who did drift bible.
I think he's ace, whenever I watch any of their bmi races I always want him to win, he does really dodgy risky moves and cuts everyone up but chuckles to himself in his car

What he said, plus nose heavy derv understeer  Diesel track cars, make me shudder, next thing you'll be suggesting using big blocks
