Panda on track!

[jesus]

Finally got the pictures of me on track from French Car Show (Rockingham).

Handled absolutely perfectly, went exactly where I wanted it to, didn't understeer, didn't oversteer, maintained a lot of speed through the corners and was pushing quite a few cars around them, including a 172 Wup (who then let me past even on a straight :rasp, Evo 6 and a Subaru.

Wasn't too bad on the straights but in a league of it's own around the corners.

This was on standard suspension by the way, completely standard car. (Now on KW V1 coilovers ).

Doesn't look quite 'right' on the track IMO.

 

[Hixle]

Looks great! Huge soft spot for these, still trying to convince my brother to get one!

It's a Fiat Panda.

Everyone who saw it going round was impressed to say the least

Luke, tell him to do it! I've had a load of other cars including a 172 but this definitely is the most fun.

I love them my mate has one in exactly the same colour.

The interior is horrible though, not the quality just the colour and the way it looks.

 

[Hixle]

One for sale at a garage not far from me, might go and take him along for a test drive this weekend...

Properly cool cars though, you've 100% got the best colour too fella!

 

[Coby.]

Had a go in a work colleagues... Was only a short drive but I was impressed

 

[chrispy.clio]

It looks a lite bit like the pope-mobile.

One on coilovers looks good, someone did a photoshop on another thread, looked a bit cooler.

 

[jesus]

Yeah it's better on coilovers obviously

 

[fUbAr]

Cool!

Couldn't get past the Saxo though, and the 106 snuck through by the looks of things...

 

[jesus]

Well spotted! The Saxo was a VTS and kept nailing it on the straights and pulling a bit, then slowing right down for corners. Every one of those GTI's was charged/ITB'd :'(

Either way, I bet they weren't as comfortable on the journey home!

Cars that can do everything FTW.

Aye. Loved it putting my Ignis around there last year...so satisfying when a 1*2 comes back to you.

Looks good on track, surprisingly little roll. Are they seriously firm day to day? My Iggy's pretty soft most of the time...but each corner's well controlled so it leans massively on track but never threatens. Massive arch gap ftw.

Like it, looks well on the coilovers :approve:

Yep, so practical but so much fun, that's why I love it

They are alright, they definitely are firm compared to your every day hatchback but nothing compared to (FK, for example) coilovers.

On the KW's, it feels the same firmness as it did standard.
