Yeah its just standard non cup suspension, I took a cupped 197 last year, thought this one was going to feel soft on track in comparison but it didnt really, was really impressive!

what lap times did you get at the ring?

 

[mini_nick]

Im not sure really what times, I didnt have that many clear runs and there were road works towards the end of the track. Still a huge amount of fun!

Good shout, Chase a time and buy armco. Roadworks are usually caused by people repairing the bits people chasing times lunched LOL

Yeah my thoughts exactly, we saw a subaru "chasing a time" and it ended up in the armco a few corners on in quite a bad way! Best just enjoy it, unless you lap it a lot and know the track - which I definately dont yet!

yeah, when i went i just enjoyed driving it tbh. i definetely got quicker over the 12 laps i did as you begin to overtake people lol.

i loved hearing the 182make popping noises as i lifted off the accelerator. was awesome. did you notice if the 197 does anything similiar?

 

[mini_nick]

Yeah i noticed after a good few laps that the milltek started popping loads! guess its just as it gets fully warmed up!

schweet, mine is standard so hopefully would do the same. makes me feel like i am driving a race car lol
