Ultima GTR chasing at Cadwell Park

[fishcake]

A video of my little 172 chasing a Ultima GTR around Cadwell and a few other cars on Wednesday night,yes I know he must not have been the worlds best driver,but it gives you great satisfaction,when you can hassle a super car,with 3 times my power,with £2000 worth of stock engined 172,It looked like he out braked himself at the end,then pulled over and let me passed I just love these Clio's

That makes me want to do that track! Would it be a scary track for a beginner?

Some of you guy's should head over to Cadwell on the 6th of July, I'm sure Paul would be more than willing to give you all some passenger laps.
I'd offer myself so long as you don't mind sitting on the floor and holding on to the roll cage

Good vid Paul, i must have caught that ultima on an off lap as he let me past pretty quick

Cadwell is awesome but im pleased i did it after having other track experiance.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yeh I think I'll do a few more Bedfords before I tackle the trickier tracks

Your better off on an airfield or track like Bedford for a 1st trackday, Cadwell is one of the narrowest circuits in the uk and with little run of in places.

I've only driven Cadwell 3 times and 2 of those have been eveing sessions, but i've been to well over 10 trackdays there as support, every single time i've been someone has destroyed their car, this is some of the worst i've seen

Brand new Exige, hit the wall leaving the paddock
1 series bmw, hit the armco at the old hairpin
205, rolled at the gooseneck
ltd edition evo, rolled at barn

And there's loads of others that were undriveable after the impacts, let alone loads more that have got away with scrapes and minor damage.

It's a great circuit, but one which demands respect :evil:

Chris

 

[Curley]

Nice driving, love it when clios eat up more expensive cars

 

[Slammed172]

Rapid, you flew past that m3, those driver's must be having a sunday drive.

 

[dmn1989]

great driving mate

 

[Ben^]

Not exactly standard then...

He said standard engine

 

[fishcake]

What tyres you running fella?

I usually run R888's all round mate,but it was getting a bit expensive with all the trackdays I do,so I tried a pair of slicks on the front,what I got of Chris aka 480bhp.com,and the left the R888's on the rear,and it felt ok,but they were knackered after I had finished with them.I think I will be reverting back to the R888's all round for my next trackday,they are a good arounder for wet or dry conditions.
I would like a full set of new slicks,but they are not cheap,then I would need another set of rims to put them on,more money

 

[fishcake]

Is that a bonnet pin up?[/quote]

Its just the safety wire on the clip you can see on the video mate

 

[fishcake]

And thanks for all the positive comments guys

 

[Tav]

Slicks...no wonder you were passing everyone. I'll retract some of my initial amazement, but still good going in the Clio.

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

loosing a bit of time on some of them corners as you got some heat in to the tires u had some near perfect laps their mate! nice one. That ultima is a Monster in a straight line!! wow. he's a pussy through the corners tho lol

 

[clio whorley]

that was a really good watch you look a really good driver

 

[fishcake]

I did not noticed that much difference to be honest Tav,running the crapy slicks I had on the front axle and R888's on the rear,than having a good set of R888's all round.
I am sure a new set of good quality slicks all round would make 2 to 3 seconds a lap over R888's,but the last time we went to Cadwell over the winter on R888's and I was lapping in 1m 50s,on wednesday evening my best lap was 1m 48.5s,so only just over a second difference,that gain I put down to track temperature,infact we are going back there on the 6th of July,and Ive just ordered a couple more R888's,with them fitted I am sure I will be a bit quicker than I was on Wednesday,we shall see

 

[Gorms]

Very good driver

Paul
