Am I the 1st to take my GP on track?!

Other than the jurno ones....

mGP · Oct 28th, 2006, 08:59 PM

I'd love too......but until someone teaches me how to drive properly (not that I can't drive properly

) but the road and the track are two completely different prospects; and the last thing I would want to do Is crash by Going too fast; Or P people off by going to slow/being over-cautious

deanquartermaine · Oct 28th, 2006, 09:13 PM

Yeah no one wants to end up in same state as the "Hamster" did do they

S33BBY · Oct 28th, 2006, 09:46 PM

I don't think you can get a GP to 300mph...

AlexF2003 · Oct 28th, 2006, 10:05 PM

They are awsome on track...

I was at Castle Combe and it was a little wet on track which gave me a small advantage over this Ultima!

I dunno, with enough explosive and a bit of imagination just about anything is possible!

No you're not.

AlexF2003 · Oct 29th, 2006, 08:00 AM

1st in the UK?

lol

You're probably safer on the track than on the local commute to work, better way to learn to drive quickly, safely, than doing so on public roads. And lots of fun.

CoolCarStuff · Oct 29th, 2006, 08:09 AM

..I thought you overtook on the inside on track days...

:-)))

Each track has its own rules.... and sometimes, you just ignore them if it makes absolutly sense to at the time - forinstance, if a driver consents to it....

AprilWhine · Oct 29th, 2006, 11:20 AM

And mine doesn't really count, I was at autox, not a real track.

T-bone S · Oct 29th, 2006, 12:35 PM

Very nice pic - well done mate - What number are you?

Checkie_checkmate · Oct 29th, 2006, 03:35 PM

There was a GP on the 'Ring' at the beginning of the month, didn't get a number but he was German

AlexF2003 · Oct 29th, 2006, 09:33 PM

0131 is mine

Over taking was on the right because it was a charity day not a proper trackday, so to cater for people who had never been on track they made the rules the same as on the UK roads.... but I didnt have the consent of that driver... he was annoyed he couldnt stop me passing LOL

High Power RWD and the wet = SLOW!

Fabio · Oct 29th, 2006, 10:06 PM

did you have to bleed the brakes afterwards??
how where the run flats???

i wanna track soon

GoodFinder · Oct 29th, 2006, 10:57 PM

I've signed up to take my GP on the track for a couple of days weekend after next. Just installed a set of Helix/RDR camber plates plus the GTT strut brace on my GP and it is a great combination.

MiniMpi · Oct 30th, 2006, 01:13 AM

Our club(Mini club of Ireland)took our MINI's and Mini's on to our local karting track recently.
It is quite wide and very well surfaced.
Brilliant fun.
The sound of the Cooper 'S's screaming past on the long straight with that fab supercharger scream will stay with me for a long time.

The brakes are pants on track... they fade after not very long at all.

I haven't rebled them as they work fine once cool - but they have lost a tiny amount of inital bite.

The runflats seemed ok but it was very wet so no real way of pushing them to the limits.
