Default First outing of the cheap Scooby trackcar

Last Sunday I took the cheap Scooby that a mate and I bought to RAF Valley for the car Charity trackday, the weather was superb, the car survived the day as did I and my son, unlike a guy who managed to roll (flip) his BMW bringing the day the an early end, we lost the last session. I forgot my video camera and my bro-in-law brought it but he only arrived at 1PM so I only got footage from one session, here is some of it



The car is fast, it's fun, the brakes are shockingly bad it also understeers but not it's not that bad, it pushes the front and eventually slides all 4 wheels so is fun and controllable. We are going to Cadwell next Friday (2nd Oct) so Al will get a chance to drive it and then we can decided what we need to do to it.

Oh yeh it did 17.9mpg over the whole day, 343 miles of which 230 were driving there and back at 75 ish MPH, 20 gallons of petrol (superunleaded) this could be expensive.
And it's now on standard 16" wheels with Michelin Pilot Premacy tyres, stickier tyres would make a fair difference I reckon but getting the brakes sorted will make a bigger difference.
