Love vids of little french cars hanging onto big expensive german cars.

I wanna go back so badly

 

[the_prophet]

looks and sounds like a pretty well specced 306 to be fair, but yeh defo did well. boy got some skills also which helped.

 

[Ian_182]

Good driving

 

[SBV116]

Flying!! The clio looked hairy!! PMSL @ "The video would of got more hits if i ran into it"

 

[Daniel]

When you say 'Ringtaxi', is that someones job?? To take an M5 round the ring for paying passengers?!


But aside from that, that 306 driver has got skills and very big balls!

 

[Ian_182]

Yes but i dont know how much it costs.

Nice job though...

 

[Whiteley]

Yep ^ €195 for the lap (between upto 4 passengers)

 

[D4N13L]

He knows the ring well.

Fook me did you see that 197 nearly flip.

 

[Daniel]

£50 for one lap?! Oh, so its cheap then! lol.

 

[Davis]

that handles very well! good driving too

 

[Finny]

good driving that is lad in the m5 wasnt the best to be honest!

 

[DrR]

I went round in a RS4 for £20 was pretty epic.

 

[Daniel]

I went round in a RS4

I'm going to go round in my pants.

 

[Feirny]

Christ some good driving TBH, M5 left him on the straights for dead, but soon caught him again.

I LOL'd at the 197!

 

[seb]

LOL at the 197

 

[Ian_182]

You also have to remember they have paying customers on board.Its no good having your passengers throw up within 3 minutes.
I have a feeling if it was one of the ring drivers on his own and going for it,then he would of been away.....imo

 

[Martin_172]

hope that wasnt one of our lot in the clio lol

 

[DrR]

where is the clio? i must have missed it or not watched that far.

 

[Daniel]

where is the clio?

At the ring. Come on, keep up. x

 

[DrR]

You have a clio in your ring?

 

[SBV116]

Well, tbh, it was mowing the grass close to the ring, and the drivers ring was twitching!

 

[DrR]

lol not seen pics of me mowing the grass there in my 172? Got a pic of a v6 after eating some cones to.

 

[SBV116]

I have yes! ha ha!

7.40 on the vid!

 

[st3ve]

Can't have been Sabine driving the taxi but some good driving by the 306 driver and lol @ the woman in the clio.

 

[kyle_sxi]

good driving tbh

 

[DrR]

love the cut to his chest of draws.

 

[young_lew]

Spent most of that video going "go on 306!!, Get in!!!!" ha ha

Heroic driving from the little 306!

He must have racing rubbers on though and sorted suspension?, but even so it was epic!

 

[the_prophet]

im guessing at toyo 888's or similar. can hear them when he's at speed and seems to have bucket loads of grip. looks pretty stripped and full cage in there so would only assume suspension has had work also.

 

[rory182]

ROFL at "in the backdoor martin"

 

[S23]

Christ! Awesome driving in the 306, sounds nice too

 

[Mr Burns]

I went round in my mates turbo'd Valver, probably the best experience in a car in my whole life (Except Becky in Asda carpark, but that's different)

My mate had been before and knew the circuit pretty well, add this to the fact his Valver was EPIC... Totally dialled, trick suspension, massive turbo, stripped and full cage, Toyo R-888's... etc, etc.

We were ruining EVERYTHING... RS4's, M3's even had a play with a GT2.

Just goes to show if you know the track and you have a 'sorted' car, you can embarrass much faster cars!

 

[Nafoff]

awesome video

makes you wonder (as you say) get the suspension, tyres , grip sorted and then learn to drive is there any real need for ££££ on engine mods.

It's the same story on UK trackdays, it's quite easy to 'humble' people in much quicker cars. All you need is decent tyres and a bit of track knowledge and you'll be as quick as half of 'em lol.

If only people would understand this in the Supercharger thread...

[Steve]

9.30 is slow for the taxi?
You would be amazed at what some owners can do round there.
Old guy in beaten up old Alfa was highly amusing, over dinner found out he owns the ring car hire firm & lives there
