How dare you even suggest the car and driver may cheat!!!!! :mad:

:D :D

It's simple......

If the car wins the handling circuit, the guy with the black visor will be me.

If the car loses, the guy with the black visor will be Simon.

:cry:

All you have to do is look at the body roll on the left handers to work out who's behind the wheel. :D

Thats not nice..... Simon is half the man he used to be! :D

Like you're hair John.... his weight has depleated to next to nothing! :D :cry:

There is a simple test to find out who's driving, ring a bell and if the driver looks around desperatly for a front door to open its Lurch - ooops sorry I mean its Shaun :D

Sam,

I see youre not entering...... oh yeah, I forgot youre car is too slow! ;) :D

Regards,
Shaun.

Got my 1st real practice in this weekend :D

Roll on the handling trophy :D:D:D

not with a start like that! ;)





good work otherwise though :)

Terry,
Nice one.... although it has been drummed in to me to "hang" it around the corners, rather than letting off the gas! :D :D :cry:

Regards,
Shaun.

yup, lift off oversteer isnt much fun :p

LOL - it was wet and traction off the line was difficult. I nearly lost it on the 1st practice run. Diff fully locked and full bore launch at about 5.5k rpm - lit up all 4 wheels and went sideways down the road for about 40 yards - thought I was going into the ditch :eek: so I had to back off almost to a halt and start again.

Its a 4wd car mate!!!! in the ditch....and back out again :D:p

Wimp :D

:D:D:D Yeah, but I have to drive it home and then to work each day :D

And?

I drove mine like that everyday for 2 and a half years :D

Some of the roads round here are nigh on identical to those in that clip :D

I cant drive round corners for love nor money, but i have a damned good go trying, and a whole load of laughs ;)

Hey, I had loads of fun on the day too - was no sunday afternoon drive :D:D:D

Well I've thrown my cards on the table to show you what I have been doing. With the exception of Messrs Darley and Felstead, I reckon the rest of you are just keyboard warriors. If not then get your videos up on the site - show us what you're made of :lol:

i didnt get a vid of mine at GT battle....sorry :( but i was only 3 or 4 secs behind pavlo on a 1m15-1m 20 lap if thats of help :)

ive will have a bit more grunt this time too....285 wasnt nearly enough :)

Looks like we have a few pretenders.... I best get polishing my helmet! :D :D

I think you should stop polishing your helmet as obviously that's what you webmasters do all day everyday instead of having a proper job :lol:

Not sure what helmet you are referring to, but I like polishing this one....

:D :D

I hope you and your shiney helmet are quicker round the handling circuit than the bloody server on here :p

Too much polishing and not enough work :D:D:D

So what do we all reckon we'll get on the strip then???

Come on - let's see what you realistically think you can do.

I'd love to see myself in the 11s and think I will be very lucky if I do - but probably low 12's - but I'll certainly give it a damn good try.

Oh and the car is an STI5 RA Ltd running 366/375. I'm pretty sure I can get a good launch - not sure if I should try flat-shifting the gears to get the very best time - or if that could potentially blow up the gearbox (really don't want to do that as I need it to drive back home to Portsmouth) - any ideas???

Cheers

Terry

i think your gearing will hinder you a lot terry, as youll be going in to 5th before the line. if you had UK ratios then 11 would be possible, but on RA gears im not so sure.

But don't you think I will be accelerating quicker due to the gearing?? And a change to 5th will only hinder by say 0.2s - but if I've made 1s in sheer acceleration with short ratios????

I dunno - but will have fun finding out :D:D:D

So what time are you gunning for Neilo??? And be honest :D

not sure, as my cars not going to be in its state of tune until the week before.....i may hang back to try and win the 12.3 instead of going balls out ;)

So what have you/ or are you getting done to it? Are you running NOS too??

nothing else bar a remap, its just on its running in map at the mo you see....and Bob couldnt fit me in until the 13th.

not sure about the NOS. i will do some runs without it and see what i do....if i find that i cant even break 13 without it then ill have a rethink!! if however i did 12.3 without it, then i wont bother!

Another scooby myth. Lift off oversteer is one of the most important tools at your disposal, when trying to make an Impreza go quickly.

anythings good if its under control :)
