I don't know what peoples problem is with team dynamics, they are light and strong wheels with a Motorsport heritage, they maybe not as nice as turinis but still think they look good!
I like the 1.2s but it just seems to be missing something.
They're fitted to a lot of 1.2 corsas et al and you can buy them in halfords, so when fitted to a very very nice car, people are a bit underwhelemed...
But... I can honestly say this is the first time i've liked the look of them on any car, the Blue works with the Black and the Red brakes looks superb. Good choice Martin, black ULs would have been awesome though.
My brakes were shagged after 4 laps lol.No stone chips that weren't already on the car.
No issues at all with the car. Performed well above expectations
Kinda glad I opted for the big brake kit as I properly hammered the brakes lol.
There were a number of photographers about so hopefully I can find some track action shots.
I was on track last night and this wee fiesta is summin else. The straight line speed of it is far superior to the clio. Not much in it in the corners but coming out of them it's just gone. Very impressive little car.
The brake discs were glowing coming into the hairpin down the hill too!

Having now had a couple of days and the adrenaline having died down also, I'll go out on a limb and say the Fiesta is quicker and more fun on track than the Clio was.
Big claims but I'm amazed at the performance of this relatively standard car.

My best session vid has finally finished uploading to YouTube so here it is:
I've only just watched this, nice nice nice nice nice...I started rocking with you behind that GT-R LOL Kept him honest, good work sir!
Lol.
Got caught up in the moment.
He he he.
Why did everyone else insist on compromising their entry to the main straight? The momentum you had by comparison was spot on.

Looked nice on the M9 tonight
Was really impressed with this on the track night! Properly quick and looked brilliant fun, 3 wheels every time at the hairpin!
Been watching your vids trying to sort my lines out, felt like I was all over the place compared to you! What times did you get out of interest?
