I did my first Knockhill HotHatch session in years
some interesting driving and moments....
Orange EVo with a bit of poke on the straights was sitting on my bumper as we worked through traffic... let him by (moving over and lifting off!)... the proceeded to be a badger back to him. Got a bit hairy when he moved over under brakes at the end of the straight. Great fun though

I think that may be down to gearing... I have fairly long gearing.
I know my car is quicker than it on corners... it used to race in SMRC with us - check start of lap 2 - its the white EVO i'm pushing round. All of them seem quicker than me on the straights

first vid was the best, thought that black scooby was on skates, was all over the shop
Evo was blatantly using you as a braking reference point, when he was out in front on his own he looked lost lol

I also turned the power up about 70bhp around 1m20s in

Just watched them videos, that Evo in the first video seemed a little brake happy and liked to take the whole track up!
How's Fee's racing coming along? Last time I known she had ditched the Evo/Skyline? then went out and got a Scooby?

Never had an EVO, R32 GTR.
She won SMRC Sports And Saloons Class A1 in her first year with the Impreza, and came runner up this year.
Bit of a niggly 2015 season with a few small problems that raised their heads on race days and meant crappy results.
Down into mid 54s laps at KH now though, with about 450bhp
