Standard of driving is definitely questionable at these kind of shows... Last time I did Trax I started behind 10 other cars which included an M3, Sierra RS500 and a Supra amongst others, and within a lap I was at the front in a Clio 197.
Flickr has a new look, not sure if I like it but still... I've uploaded about 300 photos that I haven't added to sets yet, is there a quick way of doing it or is it going to take me hours!?
I agree to an extent, the ESP on the 197 is even more intrusive and I always turned it off. However, as for people out there who won't buy one because they can't turn it off yet only use their car for the Tescos run and the occasional meet at Krispy Kreme then I'm afraid they're just being stupid.
Most trackday organisers don't allow you to get your car 'out of shape' repeatedly, not by any significant amount anyway. I have done in the past any usually end up getting black flagged at some point.
Both the new Clio and Fiesta ST are shaping up to be very nice cars. In the real world MPG, tax and insurance will be more important than being able to switch off the ESP. Way too many Ayrton Sennas on here tbh.
15 minutes must seem like such a long time when you're trying to hold back a pack of cars, it's no wonder things get a little ragged from time to time! Riding the curbs appeared to be slowing you down a tad?
Thanks dude... It's just a track/weekend toy, it handles nicely and it's quick enough for me so for now I'll keep it as it is until I get bored... I've got people trying to talk me into supercharging or turbo'ing it but I can't really justify the extra outlay at the moment.
I've got most of that and paid £1800. It's not particularly 'fast' but I don't suppose any are without forced induction, but I'm happy anyway... I'd have bought something faster if that was what I wanted.
