Nige is a really nice guy - the Golf has had some serious hours put into it - apparently 300+bhp and sub 1000kg. I follow him for a while in my video above - then he lets me past but stays with me for the whole lap - he must have done 1000's of laps - he's always there when I'm there, lol

Nige took me for a lap in that golf back in 2010 (my first trip). Really nice guy.
That golfs been developed over the years into a real weapon.

Anyway, am definitely going next year. Went twice over the last 12 months in the CSL. Managed a total of 1 lap due to bad weather!

A bit of both - there is no doubt the 991 is a fair bit faster, but it was my 1st time on track in this car and it has no buckets/ harnesses. My 996 in comparison was a full on track focused car and I knew it inside out after 5.5 yrs.

Mods planned for the 991 to make more track focused

Terry, from experience that's going to be expensive!

Can you actually improve the perfect car???
