In car from my recent race at Cadwell - Page 2

Yep - Mark at Saxon Motorsport runs my car for me. He is a very knowledgable chap when it comes to Mk2 Golf's - what he doesn't know about them isn't worth knowing, and they have done so much development in this championship the results speak for themselves, I've won 4 races this year and I'm leading the championship. They now run about 6 or 7 cars in the series, and they have worked on nearly every front running car now. I would definately recommend them to anyone. I'm driving their Civic Type R in the Britcar 24hr race too. If you can, pop along to Silverstone on Oct 1st 2nd and 3rd and come a say hello - they're a very friendly bunch who will be more than happy to help and caters for all budgets depending on how much you want them to do and how much you want to do yourself. Feel free to send me a pm if you to discuss anything further.

I saw a couple of people run straight on at that point on my first track day at cadwell.
What times did you run?
I managed a 1.42 first time there in the CSL. Reckon i could 1.38 with a few more visits,
It's an awesome circuit, definitely one of my favourites, just not much room for error on some corners.

I am going to see how I get to grips with my mk and go race that thing. Looks like you were having fun.

Pole was 1.38 Considering the cars are bog standard and only have 150-160 BHP and have a minimum weight of 1025Kg it not too shabby. We still have to run the standard top mount bushes on the suspension which keeps the suspension costs down. Most generic £ 1000 to £1500 adjustable suspension kits are more than adequate, if you get someone who spends £5000 on an all singing all dancing system, it will effectively be useless since there is a spongey standard top mount bush connecting it to the car. It makes for some "interesting" handling when you first drive one, but it's all about making it affordable.

I have to say that it is probably the some of the closest motorsport you'll see. If you miss a gear, you can loose 3 or places in one go! I regularly get people coming to find the drivers after the race just to say thankyou for displaying the most entertaining race of the day.
