After making the thread I've practiced but its just not practical with the clio pedals and trainers imo. I end up just cocking up my cornering or braking or both. As to the locking wheels up. I've never done that in any vehicle in ten years of driving so I wouldbt worrg about that!

Suppose it depends on your lines and that as wellI guess.

I don't see why everyone harks on about trail braking when i was barely getting any understeer or oversteer on a soaking wet track! My evening at snetterton was probably the first time I didnt drive all kamikaze and try rallying it lol and it seemed fine.

I think I'll practice but if I can't do it its no big bother really. I hear a lot of top drivers dont even bother. The only benefit to me on the road or trackday is preserve the car.

Intersting that they did that but didnt bother to add rev matching. Stupid Ford.

I've always wondered why cars dont auto rev match tbh!

Southend, Essex. I guess its a case of practicing. I know its not needed as such and I can already rev match and double clutch but they are a bit slower and scarier when theres a corner coming! Also I think it will help out my overheating clutch on track If I just can't do it I will consider...

To be honest when I've tried it it never revs enough and doesnt feel safe.

Since @-Jamie- pointed out my downshifts sound painful i've been looking into some of the more advanced bits of driving (im happy with racing lines etc) What methods do people use to be kind to the car? Do you NEED to be able to heel and toe? Do all racers do it? I can't heel and toe in the...

I'd love to go racing but it seems so expensive. Do snetterton do any kind of circuit races? Bit like how castle combe have castle combe saloons?

I like what the Megane guy xthilox does and uses two gopro's so you have split screen front and rear footage. Considering I "only" have a gopro 2 everyone comments how great the footage looks.

Did make a big difference when I chose standard quality over high quality mpeg 4. Get em up as I love watching track vids. All I seem to do when im bored.

I did mine in MPEG 4. Took a while maybe an hour max but not that long lol

She would not be impressed. Plus shes about as photogenic as me lol

I can't do it safely and consistently in the Clio @-Jamie- best i can manage is rev match unless i modify the pedals i guess. Ref my bird. Yeah she ain't bad lol. She's touching 30 now but she was prime when I met her at 24 :D

@-Jamie- im intrigued what you mean by the downshifts as I can't heek n toe so apart from rev matching (which I did at the start but gave up in the end) is there anything else I can do to help the poor overheating clutch?

Pretty big aye? I liked it but must be all for show.

Can't heel and toe in the clio im afraid! What do you mean though? My clutch was suffering by the end. It squeeks when it gets warm but stops as soon as car has cooled.

Had some power in it and spotted quite a few mods. What was the spec. You'll cry when you learn my 172 is standard basically lol

It doesnt look it in the vids but I was hella close to the othrr cars lol

Perhaps it was just the r26 megane that had it then and im talking rubbish lol

Im sure I read somewhere that only the r27 and clio 200 had the fancy struts.

As far as im aware the r27 also has the fancy torque steer quelling struts like the Megane.

I was massively inexperienced and my lines were s**t lol This one from yesterday is better lol Me and M3's don't get along :smile: Bare In mind this was my first time at snetterton and first trackday In a long time in the SOAKING wet!
