Can you track 1.2's?

[VIICarCare]

Lol, may seem a silly question! Or is it totally pointless putting a bog standard 1.2 on track? I'd love to have a go! And no, im not using the vee so please don't question it!!!

 

[172Ben]

iirc Fred is a rocket in a 1.2

 

[Curtis!]

On springs and that I wouldn't reccommend it. No reason why you can't though obviously.

Me and a mate booked one of those 20 minute sessions at a show last year, i was in a c2 1.6 and he was in a 1.2 sxi corsa. When we saw what else was in our session on the day he pussied out lol, I still went on though and enjoyed being the only non turbo less than 2.0 car on track :rasp:

Its not what you drive... its how you drive it...

I shall remind you of Sebine Schmit (sp?) in a transit van going round the Nurburg!

 

[sideways danny]

If you know how to use momentum and not need pure power then there's no reason why not. Doing big power circuits with long straight would be a little pointeless though

 

[Jon.G]

I think foxy put his on track iirc.

I might do it one day.

 

[Munson]

Sure, but why not also try the V6?

 

[Brett]

Rob91 had his on oulton last month. He upset a few CTR's in the corners by all acounts. His is stripped and coilovered though.

I went watching a track day at oulton a couple of months ago and there was a bog standard scoda octavia estate on track. Proper poverty spec too, even had steelies. It was slow but the guy seemed to enjoy himself.

 

[VIICarCare]

Cheers guys, im going to fit coilies on the 1.2 so i may have a go & if i like it maybe turn her into a track car

I couldn't put my vee on the track, silly i know thats what they are for blah blah but i love her toooo much!

 

[Munson]

Must be awesome if you're too scared to drive it. Fair enough, each to their own etc. blah blah.

PMSL at turning a 1.2 into a track car when you have a mid engined RWD hyper-car. Nowt as queer as folk

 

[VIICarCare]

lol, i really love my vee & taking her on the track would hammer it! I have enough of a nightmare with the stone chips now!

 

[Soot1e]

You can have fun in any car on a track. Best I've seen is a Pug 106 1.0L . with standard everything. A couple of teenagers sharing the car going sideways mostly, they were definitley havving fun. So a 1.2 Clio should be no different.

 

[Fred@BTM]

has your V6 ever even seen the rev limiter yet?

 

[VIICarCare]

lol, not in my care!

 

[Fred@BTM]

criminal

 

[K1NGY]

I might keep my 1.2 and have some fun with it!

 

[Curtis!]

Where are those pics of you with tire smoke everywhere?

I'm sure it was V6 WKD anyways.

 

[VIICarCare]

I know, she's my baby though!

 

[Munson]

Waste of a car.

 

[young_lew]

I think a low powered car on a track would be good fun.

 

[Fred@BTM]

there you go Alex, dab of oppo

 

[VIICarCare]

mmmmmmmmmmm, sexy!!!! but poor vee

 

[Fred@BTM]

poor Vee? behave, happy Vee!

 

[Naith]

dead vee.

 

[keo]

Suppose you can track a 1.2, just like you could go shopping in a V6. Just up to you what you want to do. I can see why you dont want to spoil the V but its only a car, it wont hurt it have some fun init. Just my opinion your v is lovley, but im sure it would be more fun flying around the track init than polishing it? Give it a go? If not just enjoy your cars how you want to

 

[tommys]

I suppose you could track your 1.2 but IMO I think once you got there/did a lap, you'd wish you had your V6 there instead.. which could put abit of a downer on the day?

 

[Curtis!]

there you go Alex, dab of oppo

Cheers! The outline of your face is very distinctive

 

[Bluebeard]

That was clutch smoke iirc.

 

[Psalm23_(UK)]

You know what'll happen next black clio v6 smoke........Flames!!!!!!:quiet:

 

[VIICarCare]

lolz!

 

[ForceIndia]

mmmmmmmmmmm, sexy!!!! but poor vee

Typical woman! They aren't designed as show ponys ffs.

Nothing wrong with a 1.2 on track, few old school minis were at oulton last year. Looked slow but fun.

 

[domjolly]

id go for it at least you could drive like a nutter with out the plod pulling you over,

 

[daydotz]

in a 8v :lolup: be a laugh

 

[chrispy.clio]

I take my 1.2 on track

See, its a 1.2

 

[chrispy.clio]

Oh and yeah i recon you can take it on track, some better suspension would be a must and better brakes too

 

[Curtis!]

I take my 1.2 on track

That non sport MK3 is definitely being held up by that M3!

 

[jack_kemp]

I take my 1.2 on track

See, its a 1.2

Those orange wing mirrors look incredible! What paint is it? Where from etc?

 

[young_lew]

You know what'll happen next black clio v6 smoke........Flames!!!!!!:quiet:

Are you trying to imply that a V6 could possibly catch fire?

 

[lbrench]

Rob tracked his 1.2 at oulton last month and take the v6 out!! A v6 spun infront of me at the first corner of the session at silverstone at trax lol
