That was the question raised when 'thundering' down the back straight. I had caught sight of what looked like a bus going round the hairpin!
It was another sunny Thursday evening and we were back out on track enjoying ourselves in the pig with some very nice and odd machinery, favorite amongst which was the camper van pictured :)
I say enjoying, which although true for 98% of the time was let down by some 'straight line hero's' not moving over on the straights and holding us up terribly in the corners.
This was the first time we had ever experienced this (due to having a car which was fully functioning and able to lap a decent pace) and hope in our early days never did this to anyone else (I don't think we did, we are a jolly nice bunch of chaps!)
Regardless another trackday down, another brilliant evening and another boost to the confidence of the car and the drivers. Le Man's soon? Maybe we should get our application in early for next year - oh how deluded I am ;)
As a friend on the RX8 Owners Club forum pointed out: 'The VW has less compression and body roll than the pig!'
Upon our return Nick ordered us a nice set of stiffer lower springs for the front to take care of the body roll we seem to be getting through the corners. I can't see any body roll though, certainly looks flat and level through the bends........
