Saxo VTS chasing me chasing Ultima

[MarkCup]

First off...huge thanks to James for sending me the DVD of this - this is filmed from his seriously rapid nicely driven VTS following me pushing an Ultima along.

I know they're ultimately quicker than a 172 Cup, and I don't profess to have a faster car than an Ultima.

But, it doesn't matter what you're sat in, if you can't drive for s***...I'll own you all day long (so back off the throttle when you move over to let me past )

Enjoy...

Your Cup looks like it's on rails Mark! Nice one, I'm sure I'd love a track day (even though I drive like a granny ) I love the way he gave up in the end..

 

[Phill1978]

[GarethM]

No suspension mods, just well driven..... hey the 172 cup is the best clio if driven correctly.....!

Well done Mark....one for the Cup boys... under 3mins is goood for a std cup, i couldnt get better than 2.28 on th GT circuit.........

I have to conceed though that I was running a set of very tired Yoko A032's to help me along as well

And it might have looked like it/I was on rails but believe me, it was on the edge, moving about quite a bit from turn-in to exit...was the last session of the day and I was determined to have a laugh so just pushed the boundries (and the Ultima) a bit

Exhaust and breathing mods + suspension + Willwood 4 pots on the Saxo...hopefully James will stop by to confirm his setup?

 

[Gareth]

good work Mark

 

[MarkM]

Nice to see a video outside the car for a change.

Your car changes direction very quickly, looks mad through the twisty section.

Your lines look spot on by the way.

I am no expert but I imagine extracting all the performance from the Ultima requires a professional racing driver.

It may have loads of power in a lightwieght body but it must be a real handful to drive.

Nice driving Mark,that circuit looks a good one,you know it off by heart now?

 

[jamesy]

cool was that track damp at all??

 

[dannyboy172]

Great driving mate....damn, i wish i could drive like that on track, never given it a go

 

[philthy]

[MarkCup]

LOL but if it were a V6 then he would have been......

 

[rory182]

the ultima would have looked much better if he just let u past early on rather than trying to stay ahead, fudd.

nice driving.

 

[Martin]

nice vid

 

[Djw Dave]

Nice vid, cup looks very well driven. Would fancy a shot at a track day

 

[jayxx83]

What a waste guy. Nice driving though.

 

[muz]

lovely mate. In the wet at knockhill I was pushing one round the track fopr a couple of laps, got really frustrated and had to come off, couldnt get it on the straights then on the corners I was nearly hitting him

 

[Tucks]

Cup looks great on the track from that chase view.

 

[yellow182jon]
