Hi
Had the chance to do a trackday at croft with a BMW club. Car performed very well and seemed quick, had a few runs against a Gt3 and there wasn't much it in, also new M1 coupe didn't seem particular fast either. Had much more trouble against track prepared e36's with slicks and very well driven 335i estate, god I hope it was modified ![]() First trackday for years, took it steady, but still managed to spin the car at top end of 4th gear, luckily croft has plenty of run off and a decent polish, a precautionary alignment has made the CSL look and drive better than before. Did about 22 laps in total including warm up and cool downs, managed a 1:47, reckon I could knock a few seconds off with more practice and now that backend feels much more tied down after the alignment. I watched Duncan do 1:40 on this site and hoped I could get a bit closer, guess I need more practice and some upgrades. Last edited by toplad; 02-08-2011 at 07:37 PM. Reason: cos I'm a moron |

But secondly if you think Cups were the difference you have to remember our race mx5 are n/a 1.6 130bhp (Crank) AND run on Hankook 'hard as nails' road tyres. ![]()

![]() But there's no doubt that little Jap roller skate is fast, it weighs fook all and is set up properly too. The clue is in the title, Race MX5 ![]() Cheers Steve, I was hoping for a bit tuition at Croft, but missed out with timings and one thing or another. It's a great track and prefect for a beginner to learn on, it's a pity its noise restricted and not a bit nearer Last edited by toplad; 03-08-2011 at 08:58 AM. |
